Re: [Ledger-smb-users] Default dates on transaction entry screens

Peter, Agreed. You could allow users to set a session date (in a manner similar those we have discussed in prior posts) for the entry of transactions, yet still have system-wide immutable cutoffs and date restrictions (i.e. once the books have been closed for a period, transactions canno

Setting the "session date" to something other than the current system date just means that it will be the value pre-entered in the date field when a new transaction is initiated. Ideally the presence of an audit trail mechanism internal to the system would make possible the ability recor

Not necessarily... One of the commercial accounting packages I used years ago (simply/ accpac?) would prompt you to set the "session date" when you ran it/ logged on. The offered default was the current system date (simply hit return and it was yours). This allowed you to change the date

That would be handy ... but better make certain it checks (at the time it is set, and again before it runs) that the backup process actually has permission to create a file in the target location ... cause, I can just see folks putting in a path to which their LMB/Web user cannot write. ;)

I too have re-posted 'amended' invoices (when on Gnu Cash, I just would not have 'posted' the invoice - which was (and IMHO should always be) autonomous from 'saving' the invoice). If my invoice was just for services, I noticed no ill effects ... however, if the invoice included products/as

Chris, Not even that formal ... a draft is just something that has not been posted ... i.e. I was working on the invoice, when the phone rang so I saved the partial to complete later rather than starting over from scratch afterwards. As in my previous posting, the way this is just assume

Chris, That is one of the features of GnuCash I miss after transitioning to SQL-Ledger / LedgerSMB. In GnuCash, you can edit and save a transaction without posting it ... i you attempt to edit a posted transaction, you are warned that it is posted and, in the case of an invoice, are given
