Invoice Editing Has Some Big Problems

By Jeff May 04 00:00:00, 2007

Bug Update: A new patch was put in place today and it seems, once again, that invoice editing is working as it should.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  As always, please let me know if you encounter problems. Thanks for your patience.
The CPO dev team - May 11, 2007

CPO user SebyM was kind enough to alert me to some pretty significant problems with the invoice editing features. Here's what's happening...

  1. A user creates a new invoice - everything works just fine at this step.
  2. The user goes back to edit the invoice.
  3. Invoice edits work fine unless you remove invoice items while simultaneously editing the tax rate.
  4. If you remove items from an invoice while editing, the invoice total is no longer accurate and really can't be changed by the user. Even removing all items and starting from scratch won't give an accurate invoice total.

I've looked into this bug today and found that it's a bit of a monster. There is so much code involved and not all of it is really clean. So, my thought right now is that this will take me through the weekend to fix properly. Until next week, don't plan on doing any serious edits to invoices or you may wind up having to delete them and start over.

Ok, now that the confession is out of the way, I'd like to express a tremendous amount of appreciation to a few bug watchers. Yanick Rochon, Maurer Sebastian and Greg Manset - you guys are terrific! Thanks a million for sticking with CPO and taking time out of your busy day to help me identify problems and suggest great improvements.

CPO has grown much faster than I ever could have imagined and, right now, I'm scrambling a bit to keep up. It's a pleasure to have some users who will graciously point out problems without just giving up and leaving.

Thanks so much, guys. I hope I can do something nice for you one of these days soon.

Thanks for reading.

Jeff

I'm sorry Maurer - this post was made quickly very late in the evening and my brain was approaching shut-down.
