GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 737489
Preconfigure several options based on country selection
Last modified: 2018-06-29 23:34:11 UTC
The idea behind this rfe is that a user when starting a new book is asked his country and that based on this several options get preconfigured. Here are a few of them that make sense: 1. The default currency for the book (the user now has to select this himself) 2. Which account templates to show in the assistant (currently these are based on locale, but a user may want to create a book for a foreign set of accounts as well) 3. The default tax invoice to use when printing invoices (this comes from bug 695610) 4. The tax system to use I expect several more to pop up once this gets implemented.
Perhaps this rfe involves less intervention rather than more. At present there is a limit on country AA seeing country BB xea account structures. I think it preferable that people can see each others notional structures to enhance conversation. Specifically: 1. a currency for a book makes sense with the current model 2. *makes no sense* I'd like this to be changed, too 3. I think we should be able to use the available invoice formats regardless, if nothing else we can learn a bit from each 4. I have no comment on that at the moment I'd like this extended so that Actions / New Account Hierarchy / allowed non-native imports. Reason: I am strongly in favour of gnc being international. Probable block: me, I'll have a look but I think I probably won't be able to work out where to get stuff to happen even though I know what to fix. Grrr *combo* sigh. I do want to help, honest.
