Re: Sales Invoice

[Bob Crandell <..hidden..>]

Hi Erik,

Let's get the bug out of the way.  I think it's working as designed
because there is no place to put a date for each activity - hence my
suggestion.

Then to your suggestion, I tried to create a time card but got this:
Attribute (business_unit_id) does not pass the type constraint because:
Validation failed for 'Int' with value undef at constructor
LedgerSMB::Timecard::new (defined at LedgerSMB/Timecard.pm line 277)
line 52
LedgerSMB::Timecard::new('LedgerSMB::Timecard', 'checkedin',
'LedgerSMB::PGDate=HASH(0x7df4ef8)', 'qty', undef, 'business_unit_id',
undef, 'description', undef, 'parts_id', undef, 'curr', 'USD', 'jctype',
1, 'non_billable', 0, 'partnumber', 'LBO', 'transdate',

I don't know what a business_unit_id is.
"Report In" is a drop down list.  What is it for?
The error above happens when I enter a service partnumber.

This is version 1.4.28.
Have a nice day.
