When the charge_members_manually option is active there is no need for an
explicit balancing step. This new function allows to close_direct all
orders which have an assigned invoice, which is usually indication enough
to find orders which can be closed finally.
If multiple financial transaction belong to a bank transaction, it
is sometimes easier to create them as a collection and add the bank
transaction instead of adding all financial transaction to a link
created via a bank transaction.
A new checkbox will allow user to set the balance to a given ABSOLUTE value
in addition to changing it by a RELATIVE value. This can be used if the
balance is tracked outside of foodsoft and should be syncroniced or for
setting the balance to zero for multiple ordergroups.
This change introduces two new data types to group the financial
transactions. Now every transaction has a "type", which itself belongs
to a "class".
Types should be used add structured information to an transaction, instead
of writing it into the notice textfield. E.g. this could be used to have
different types depending on the source of money (cash vs. bank transfer).
Classes are shown as different columns in the tables and will be uses to
group transactions of specific types. They should be used if not the whole
amount of ordergroup should be used to order food. E.g. if there is a
deposit or membership fee, which is independent of the normal credit.
This will allow us to implement additional features based on classes in
the future. E.g. the sum of transactions in the "membership fee" class
must be positive to allow food orders or show a big warning if it is bellow
a certain value.
Some foodcoops do not use the accounting feature of the foodsoft, which
results in wrong calculation of the available credit. To avoid
confusions show the current account balance instead.
This includes an overdue synchronization of plugin locales. To make
translation easier for non-developers, we keep the strings at localeapp,
which puts everything in one file. All plugins enabled by default are
therefore included in Foodsoft's locales.
