Re: Setup VAT-Taxes
Small Update: The 5-Step Accounting Guide does not help with tax matters. I've ordered the book and it should arrive sometimes next week. I've found out what nexus means for a company and changed the setting to Y. Which did not help. Also i changed the Tax-Type from VAT to Sales Tax in order to verify if it works with this seemingly more common setting. It did not. What i did to check if the settings apply and the taxes get calculated is to create an invoice with the product from my catalog, created a payment with the necessary amount and paid it. To check the glAccouns i used the Trial Balance. For my understanding: Is Nexus basically defines if a party has to actually pay taxes because some treshold is reached. *Is my understanding of nexus correct?* *Does the Trial Balance and my general procedure to test taxes suffice?* On 6 October 2014 14:29, Adrian Stern archd...@gmail.com wrote: @Pierre Smits Thanks for your Reply.

Re: Setup VAT-Taxes
Adrian, For a short explanation on nexus, in the tax context, have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_income_tax#Nexus In general, the nexus is the party responsible for the taxes due by its subsidiaries.

Price from catalog not applied to invoice
Hi I've noticed that whenever i create an invoice i have to type the price myself. When doing the same on the demo server, the price is automatically added. I've configured A catalog for anything i offer with the sub categories of services / product with an aditional sub categorie of real service and real product. I did notice that even on the demo server the prices don't get applied for every product. I just can't find out why. But i think it is very possible that my problems in tax/accounting result from a misconfiguration for Catalog/Category/Product. I also added the new category to the tax authority with a percentage of 0.08 VAT. *What could prevent the prices defined in the catalog from being automatically used in invoices?* Regards, A
Re: Price from catalog not applied to invoice
Hi Adrian If you can give me some details about the version of OFBiz you are using with information about the data you loaded (did you just use seed, or have you got the demo data loaded too!) what product setup you have done (store, category, product) and how you are creating your invoices (e.g. are you doing it manually or are you processing sales orders to generate it) - then I'll see if I can replicate your issues.

Re: ASF Status website and project health reporting
For sure, such an endeavour will take quit some effort and technical resources. Especially if we want to have this available over the entire lifespan of projects. Projects do generate a lot of data that can be used for statistical analysis. Assuming over 200 projects and podlings, and each list having at least 3 mailing lists, you are looking at a lot of data that needs to be gathered and enhanced with data from other sources to ensure that the information created is meaningful. I wonder what technical solutions available under the ASF umbrella would be suitable to bring this kind of information to project communities, the board and everybody else interested. And how this should be approached project wise, as I suspect that a lot of skills and expertise is involved.

Re: Price from catalog not applied to invoice
Hi Sharan Thank you for your reply. I did not load the seed data nor the demo data since there is too much US-specific stuff in it. I've created my own chart of accounts for switzerland and basic seed data for Company with a Bank account etc. Processing invoices generally works. Values are postet correctly and the balance is OK in the end. Everyting inside our own seed data is a more or less copy/paste of the original seed data with just the values we need. I created the invoices manually with Accounting - Invoices - Create new Invoice. Same goes for the payment. Setup done with: http://www.hotwaxmedia.com/apache-ofbiz-blog/ofbiz-tutorial-how-to-setup-the-ofbiz-catalog-manager/ Setup Store: 1. http://picpaste.com/store_1-w0irUUcr.png 2. http://picpaste.com/store_2-yDcD6v1J.png 3.

Re: Price from catalog not applied to invoice
Hi Adrian Thanks for all the details. I'm going to have to load the seed data though as I dont have a copy of yours. I will run through and try to replicate what you have done. The main difference will be the seed data - which I think is another possible area that could be causing your issues. It will probably be tomorrow before I can start looking at it though and if I have any questions I'll get back to you. I will let you know how I get on.

Oracle Java SDK distribution
Sorry this is a bit off topic, but maybe some of you folks know the answer. I am not legal minded. Since Ofbiz evidently requires the SDK (I saw this several places, so I have not tried open java, or the JRE); but if I am wrong it would be great if any one got it working on jre alone? Based on that assumption, I am guessing the SDK has got to be distributed to clients. My boss seems very concerned, and asked me to get it to run on the JRE. Any one distribute the SDK to clients. Is it legal? I looked up on java.com Can I distribute Java with my software? Yes, you can provide Java with your software provided you abide by the terms and conditions of Java binary code license. But the license it huge and in legalese. Sorry if this is totally a bad place to ask, but it sort of related. - Joel Fradkin -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Oracle-Java-SDK-distribution-tp4656628.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Fwd: Re: Implementation Guide
Just to show that we are not the only Apache project trying to make sense of documentation. Ron Original Message from Shindig project Hi all, the question is how we should balance the material between Apache CMS and Confluence. I think that all technical guides and resources should go into Confluence - making it the official documentation space, rather than just a wiki - and all the high-level reference / 'marketing' / news material into the web site. I'm having a look at different Bootstrap themes in order to select a few, submit the initial list and let the people involved decide. As I've already said, I think we should use a vibrant theme that shouts Hey, have a look inside. It's good stuff! therefore my attention is grabbed by 'landing page' / 'agency' parallax type themes. One thing that is missing though, is a kick-ass Shindig logo. Is someone willing to create one? Raj, if you could suggest a Bootstrap theme that would be great. In the following days, I'll post a selection of themes as a reference and we can vote. Also, I'll try and write down a suggested link structure for the new site and also a scaffolding for the technical docs in Confluence. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Chris On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 2:27 AM, Ryan Baxter rbaxte...@apache.org wrote: OK well for reference check out the website docs [1]. Let me know if you have any problems.

Based on the steps that Ryan suggested: *1. We use the Shindig site as the place to keep the documentation. It is CMS based [1] so no need to know how to write HTML.* First we need to decide on an awesome clean theme for the website that will be responsive and attractive. As Bootstrap is already being used that should be no prob, but we need to use a theme that will rock. Please suggest themes from other sites that you find attractive and user friendly. For instance, I find the SailsJS http://sailsjs.org/ theme very clear for reading. Also, if someone could deal with the art work that would be very useful. *2. We create a getting started guide, containing the minimal set of steps to get someone up and running.* *3. We create a detailed implementation guide that addresses how someone would extend Shindig to build their own implementation.* Next, we need to make a map of the current structure of the web site and then suggest alternatives on how the new site should be structured. The key here is that it should be self explanatory and guide you step-by-step on how to do from the simplest to the most advanced task. Newcomers should feel comfortable with it so that they start with an appetite to learn more about this project. This part requires an initial gathering of all existing resources and cleansing. Everything should be relevant to the latest version of the framework. A few months ago I had created a GitHub project https://github.com/theChefArchitect/os-examples-container-embedded with a sample embedded container in a Spring web app written for this purpose. I've also noticed that the maintenance of the PHP version has stopped. All these cluttered resources should be gathered in one place initially and then decide which of them should be used as a reference for the new documentation. *4. In the process of doing this we cleanup/consolidate the Shindig site and the wiki.* One important thing that should be decided is where the documentation / tutorials should be hosted. At the moment the web site acts as a proxy for different documentation locations around the web and some hard-core tech docs live under Atlassian's Confulence site https://opensocial.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OSREF. What's the story with that? Will the documentation be hosted under Confluence or under the web site? Overall, this task requires collaborative effort and should be done in baby steps.
Re: Multiple invoice templates
For anyone who is interested, here is my solutions:
/applications/accounting/widget/AccountingPrintScreens.xml add:
screen name=InvoicePDF
section
actions
script
location=component://accounting/webapp/accounting/WEB-INF/actions/invoice/InvoiceTemplate.groovy/
/actions
widgets
include-screen name=${template} location=${templatepath}/
/widgets
/section
/screen
Then rename the existing screen name=InvoicePDF to screen
name=InvoicePDF_default
Add the following script
accounting/webapp/accounting/WEB-INF/actions/invoice/InvoiceTemplate.groovy
##START
import org.ofbiz.accounting.invoice.*;
invoiceId = parameters.get(invoiceId);
templatepath = component://accounting/widget/AccountingPrintScreens.xml
template = InvoicePDF_default;
if (invoiceId) {
invoice = delegator.findOne(Invoice, [invoiceId : invoiceId], false);
billingParty = InvoiceWorker.getBillToParty(invoice);
sendingParty = InvoiceWorker.getSendFromParty(invoice);
if (billingParty) {
partyId = billingParty.partyId;
// get the template
partyContents = delegator.findByAndCache(PartyContent,
[partyId :
partyId])
templateattr = delegator.findByAnd(PartyAttribute, [partyId :
partyId,
attrName :invoiceTemplate], null, false);
}
if (templateattr.size()==0){
partyId = sendingParty.partyId;
partyContents = delegator.findByAndCache(PartyContent,
[partyId :
partyId])
templateattr = delegator.findByAnd(PartyAttribute, [partyId :
partyId,
attrName :invoiceTemplate], null, false);
}
if(templateattr.size()0){
tmp_template = templateattr[0].get(attrValue).split(#);
templatepath = tmp_template[0]
template = tmp_template[1]
}
context.templatepath = templatepath
context.template = template
}
###END
I use the partyAttributes pointing to the screen definition. For example:
attribute Name = invoiceTemplate
attribute Value =
component://accounting/widget/AccountingPrintScreens.xml#InvoicePDF_default
If no template is defined it falls back to the default default screen
definition.
Again thanks to Nicolas for pointing me here!

Shouldn't the paginate bar appear regardless of the listSize gt viewSize?
Does anyone have a good reason why the paginate bar should disappear when the listSize gt viewSize? The bar is useful for determining the record count which can't be determined when it disappears due to the condition being met. Anyone else think this is worthy of a JIRA?
Re: Credit Card PCI compliance.
Tom, You should check with your provider/gateway on what solutions they have for recurring billing. If you store credit card data in your DB you're going to have to go through a much higher level of PCI compliance. AFAIK, this includes annual on site audits, etc. regardless of volume. Many providers now have api's that allow them and not you to store the actual CC numbers but still allow for recurring transactions. You should check there first. -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Credit-Card-PCI-compliance-tp4656568p4656640.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
