Compatibility problem between G2 business module and G1
Hello All, It looks to me that G2 is "corrupting" the guid's of customers, employees, vendors, etc when opening an account file made with G1.8.12. I haven't looked close enough at whether or not it is a general problem in G2. To try and make sure it isn't something I've done I created a simple set of accounts with G1 including a customer, vendor, employee, job and some invoices using G1.8.12. and saved it. When opening it with G2 it looks fine. But after saving it without having made any changes (all I did was open and immediately saved) and reopening it, it appears to have lost the links to the invoices and customers, employees, etc. Looking at a diff between the two files it looks like the guids have been changed. Has anyone else seen this and is it a known issue? Or is the business module still a work in progress and this is to be expected? I didn't see anything in bugzilla that looked like it. If it's something new I can enter it. I'm using mostly debian unstable. G1 is 1.8.12 and G2 is r12973. Any other info that could be relevant? I've attached the two files as an example. digger g1.8.12_to_g2r12973.tgz Description: application/compressed-tar ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

I've seen it too in both 1.8.x and G2. I don't remember the circumstances that caused it in 1.8, but I think it was a crash. The version of G2 I was using at the time I saw this was also crashing, so I sort of ignored it. IIRC, the invoices and payments lose their mapping to vendors. It shows up very obviously in the Payable Aging report. You get balances with a blank vendor column and incorrect totals for the associated vendors. i remember that I manually edited my file to fix the GUID's and it seems to me I had to follow quite a long chain to get it all patched up. Turns out its easier to just unpost, edit and repost the invoices and then delete and replicate the payments. ymmv. If you file the bug, I'll add my results as well.

Re: Compatibility problem between G2 business module and G1
For what it's worth, I've certainly noticed this once or twice, but I haven't been able to actually track it down. I've certainly noticed problems with the bill terms. I'm just not sure if it's a load-time issue, save-time issue, or some other memory corruption. Help debugging this would be greatly appreciated by anyone on the list. -derek digger vermont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hello All, > It looks to me that G2 is "corrupting" the guid's of customers, > employees, vendors, etc when opening an account file made with G1.8.12. > I haven't looked close enough at whether or not it is a general problem > in G2. > > To try and make sure it isn't something I've done I created a simple set > of accounts with G1 including a customer, vendor, employee, job and some > invoices using G1.8.12. and saved it.

I've had the problem in G2 using a new file created in G2. I reported it in November (to this list), but was lost in the flurry of activity. You seem to have investigated it further.

Opening a copy of my working file it retrieves and displays the customer info correctly. The posted invoivce does retain the correct customer name in Accts Receivable. -- Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

I created a new set of accounts in G2 (r12973, though it also happened with earlier revisions) along with some companies and invoices. After saving the file and reopening it the links or mappings between them are gone. I files a bug for it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328790 digger ___ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
