Re: Migrating from gnucash

Hi Chris,

I've got all the transactions transferred into ledgersmb but something is not quite right, so I might have missed something.

When I transfer the receipts I enter them as "overpayments" as I don't have information on what payment went to what invoice, just the client. To do that I created records in: gl (field reference is being left blank but not sure if needed), payment, acc_trans (from bank account to overpayments account) and payment_links (linking the acc_trans records to the payment record). I enter payment_class=2 for receipts and 1 for payments and payment_links.type=2
So far so good if I haven't missed anything.

Then I log on to ledgersmb web interface and select "use ar overpayments", it brings me the list of customers with overpayments, select one.
It doesn't show the list of invoice until I click on update. Then it brings the overpayment and the list of invoices, here is where the problem starts.

If I try to apply the payment to more than one invoice (10 + 60 for a payment of 70) it fails with an error.

This is the error from the apache log

I had unselected the "apply discount" and entered a number on each line equal to the invoice in that line.

I'm running version 1.3.9 from the .deb file in sourceforge.net
I tried installing version 1.3.10 but the database doesn't generate the functions.
Postgres 8.3 and apache2

When I use the overpayments with clients that have only one invoice pending then it works OK.

If I try to apply one invoice at a time, when I try to use the 2nd invoice the available payment doesn't add up (is not previous total - previous invoice) so when I finish processing the last invoice it still comes with a rest in the overpayment.
I hope this makes sense. I'm happy to give you access to the server if you want to have a look. I might be loading some details wrong somewhere.

Hi,
I started writing a script in PHP (don't know perl) to migrate from gnucash to SQL_Ledger, then I discovered ledgersmb and I'd prefer to use it over sql-ledger.
I managed to get all the data from gnucash, and now I need to write into the ledgersmb database.
I'll be offering the script to the community once I've finished it.
My question is:
Is there any documentation on which tables are written when adding:
A client/vendor

entity, company, entity_credit_account, location eca_to_contact, eca_to_location, entity_bank_account, entity_note and/or eca_note

See stored procs in sql/modules/Entity.sql, sql/modules/Company.sql

A transaction (sale/purchase)

For sale:

ar, acc_trans, transactions (via triggers)

For purchase, same except ap instead of ar.

For a GL transaction,

gl, acc_trans, transactions (via triggers)

An invoice (sale/purchase)

Same as sale/purchase above except also invoice table.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

Thanks,
Federico
