facs http://facs.noxqs.org/blog Facs Aids Cost Supervision Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:13:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 en Rostock update 0.2.16 http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?p=191 http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?p=191#comments Sat, 01 Jan 2011 13:19:45 +0000 wig http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?p=191 After having some problems with a clean install of facs, some improvements were done on the code.

There is a check now that looks for the first time use of the program.  Also the Start New screen (from the File/Start New menu) has a better field sequence (i.e. for using the tab key to go from field to field)

Quick Start: in the Help? menu, an item is added “Quick Start”; that gives you the fast way to start to use the program, in case you are not online and cannot reach the wiki.

From the changes file:

2010-12-29
- FStartnew, better TAB sequence
- FMain check for first use of the program
- MCommon boolean for first use
2010-12-27
- FMain: added menu entry Help, Quickstart
- FQuickstart: created with some steps to take to start

2010-12-26 problems with new install
- sometimes check on new supplier went wrong, seems fixed now
- MData supplier check fixed

When starting the program, the new highest invoice number plus one is not what you need. You want to find the place where an invoice is missing. Give the program a hand, select the invoice where you want to somewhere start from, and Facs looks for the next missing invoice serial number.

Working on that now. From the invoice you select, we need to create the counter value:
invSn2number will give that, taking into account the settings for the invoice prefix.

Sample 1: anonymous
Description:

Suppliers: Supplier A, Supplier B, Supplier C, ..
Invoices numbers from 1 to …, amounts random
Costcodes: cc1, cc2, cc3, cc4, cc5, …

20080923: Have an idea now: let’s make a bakery. This seems universal enough for everyone to understand, as it is a kind of “production” process. Excuses to real bakery-managers, lots of the sample may be nonsense to them.

I started a new database with the name “bakery” to fill with sample data.

copied the structure of an existing rubbish-sample database to “bakery” with phpMyAdmin, used utf8-unicode ci, gave all rights for user of the facs application.

Suppose manager wants to get a view on the cost to make bread-products, pastry products, the sales of external products, and the new variety of “light” products.

costcodes can be:
bread (bread products)
pastry (pies tarts, croissant…)
light (special light products)
distribute (sales of external products)

general costcodes collect further:
genElectr (electricity)
genGas (heating gas)
office (administration costs)
services (bookkeeper, etc)
other (don’t know yet)

shop (for the cost of selling all products)

Invoices come from the delivery of products like: flour(s), yeast, milk, sugar, salt, butter, oil, beans, fruit, eggs,
packing cardboard boxes and paper bags
also from suppliers of energy, water, telephone etc
Services like bookkeeper/accountant, cleaning, publicity/marketing

Machines needed for baking (oven), cooling, kneading, …, machine repairs, maintenance contract
Car leasing, car tax, petrol station, car park, car repairs
Some administration things: fax/copier, pc, Water Cooler, coffee, post, magazine subscriptions,

Social security, medical care, defined benefit plan, insurances (machines, building, car, employees/accidents), lawyer

And the shop has its own costs (how much does it cost to sell actually the products? Should I open a second selling point? etc)

(now available - see Download)

]]> http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?feed=rss2&p=187 Problem with Ubuntu 9.10 / Gnome + Gambas 2 http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?p=186 http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?p=186#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:11:26 +0000 wig http://facs.noxqs.org/blog/?p=186 There is a problem with Ubuntu 9.10 / Gnome and Gambas 2.x (at least 2.13); the interface does not react any more on “leaving a field”, and your FACS application will crash.

You will notice that the date is missing on invoice input, and it is impossible to do an assignment (crash).

Not sure yet whether it is Ubuntu, Gnome, or this Gambas build problem.

Update: see bug fix in Facs + this post on the Gambas site: 18 Nov 2009 - Release of Gambas 2.18

“Native windows are now disabled with GTK+ 2.18, so that the GTK+ component works correctly on recent distributions (Ubuntu 9.10, Mandriva 2010.0, and so on).”

    In the mean time we have still the minimal install instructions here.

    Very sorry the time failed to react sooner on the SF warnings. Hang on…
