Re: Feature request: process multiple invoice with single payment

2007-08-18 Thread Dan Widyono
 Suspense accounts are a user thing.  GnuCash doesn't care, and
 indeed shouldn't care.  You can Process Payment into a Suspense
 Account just as easily as you can Process Payment into a Checking
 Account.

Is it useful to allow aliases for Account Types?  Or to add a Suspense type
which is just a Checking type with a different name?  Just thinking out loud
here.

Make sure you don't use 3a4.  Use 3a3.  When you install it, run the test
command (guile -c blah blah) as the installation user (who has permissions to
modify the directories just created -- i.e. /usr/lib/guile etc.).  That will
create the initial index or catalog which is required to find variables
and perhaps functions (I don't really understand it from the language point
of view, only from a systems administration point of view).  I put this info
in the wiki under RHEL5, perhaps it should be in a separate section just
regarding SLIB installation.

 Thank you Derek! Big question is, how do I do that? I've been searching
 the web for properly installing SLIB, but have nothing definitive yet.
 I've yet to search the Ubuntu forums.
 
 I have tried re-installing via the synaptic package manager but still
 get the error. This is sounding more like a Debian/Ubuntu installation
 error. I'll query the forums and see what I can dig up.

  While attempting to build the latest gnucash 2.2.0 ...
 
  The current version of Ubuntu:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/gnucash-2.2.0# uname -a
  Linux rotor 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686
  GNU/Linux
 
  Still fails according to the bug report above. I have a slightly
  different response to hand tests of guile:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/gnucash-2.2.0# guile -c (use-modules (ice-9 slib))
  (require 'printf)
  ERROR: Unbound variable: slib:features

  1
 
  I had download the latest SLIB, 3a4 too.  And tried the patch indicated,
  putting it at the end of the file.
 
  I've attached the config.log, but I don't see anything significant there.
 
  I haven't gotten to the end of the list of things to try yet either.
 
  The crazy thing is I built 2.0.5 on my laptop which is also ubuntu
  (currently the same version) but which version I'm not sure of at the
  time of the build which was 2 Mar 07, and no issues there.

 There is request from google to upload our soc code to a specific code

 think other gnucash SOC projects should consider this issue also.

http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/how-to-provide-google-with-sample-code

It looks like a...

$ svn diff -r $branch_point:HEAD 
http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/${branch}  soc.diff

Should work alright, so long as it records newly-created files, which I
believe it does.  In order to determine the ${branch_point} revision
number...

$ svn log --stop-on-copy 
http://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/branches/${branch}

Should do the trick; the first revision will be the one that created the
branch.

Also, yes, all sources should be under the GPL.

Oh dear, making me sorry I ever brought the issue up. Look, I'm not an 
accountant but have worked on systems that have to record billings and 
payments.

Yes, some businesses do put suspense money into a separate bank 
account (asset side of the ledger). But when I used the word suspense 
I wasn't thinking about bank accounts but accounting accounts (see the 
word account gets used in multiple ways). That sense of suspense 
would be a liability type account to represent that this check was 
deposited into one of the businesses bank accounts (asset) but the 
money, or at least this portion of it is owed back to somebody pending 
disposition and so is a liability.

What the disposition ultimately is not YET specified. Once that is 
decided the item gets removed from suspense (counterbalancing entry) 
when a refund check is sent back to the customer, an entry to their 
customer account against future bills, or whatever action gets taken 
(generally you have to contact the customer to ask what do you want 
done with the extra? and the amount is in suspense while that is 
determined). If you knew at the time the amount was being processed 
where it was to go, just do that (no need for a suspense entry).

Sorry Josh I might be not clear in my previous Email, the specific repository I 
mentioned in my Email, is the repository provided by Google itself.

not sure if all could access the following links but I think mentor and student 
at least could access it

the repository will be here
http://google-summer-of-code.googlecode.com/svn/

Here is the repository information
http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/

here is the license issue

No, as per that last link, there's no requirement to submit the code to the
Google SVN repository specifically, but only to provide a tarball containing
the changes that you've made via the Downloads area of the SoC webapp.  The
commands I gave against the gnucash repository should help you create that
tarball.

 here is the license issue
 http://code.google.com/multiple_licenses.html

I'm not quite sure what the issue is.  GnuCash is licensed under the GPL,
and as I understand it, you're contributing your changes under the GPL as
well.  So, there's no multiple-license issue.

 also here more details about the repository
 http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/how-to-provide-google-with-sample-code

All students will need to add a zipped tarball, which
can include source files, a single .diff file, multiple
.diff files, binary files, etc., to the Downloads
section of the Google Summer of Code project.
