Hello Ashish, Many many thanks. So much appreciated input from your side as usual. Talking about Sharan's work, I already read her book on the subject and it is very interesting and valuable. However, and this is another subject I know but thought you may help. I understand that Ofbiz has a rich data model and configuration in Accounting around which GL Account to use especially when creating automated transactions like those related to a sales invoice.
By this, I mean configuration - for example - related to Payment Methods, Payment Types, etc. And those other settings that are available via the following URL. My concern here, is there any 'Process diagram / workflow logic' that simplifies the order of using such settings. In other words, I find it a bit difficult to get the logic from the code having the fact that Ofbiz is using multiple ways of creating services and calling them. So I'm wondering if such flowcharts exist to simplify the logic and explain the big picture. https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/GlAccountAssignment?organizationPartyId=Company Regards, Emad On Tue, Sep 27, 2022 at 11:51 AM Ashish Vijaywargiya < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello Emad, > > Following links will be helpful for you: > > > https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/editPaymentApplications?paymentId=10001 > Here you can associate the Invoices with respect to the Payment. > > > https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/editInvoiceApplications?invoiceId=CI1 > Here you can associate the Payments with respect to the Invoice. > > Sales Invoices can be created in the system by the following ways. > > 1) When the Sales Order gets completed in the system then a Sales Invoice > gets created in the System.
