- Xero changes
- Originally xero would try to sync records in bulk. There are technically good reasons for wanting to do this (Xero has strict limits on # of requests per month and syncing in bulk substantially circumvents these limits) but there are technically good reasons for not wanting to do this: if a single operation in a bulk fails then the overall sync is problematic and the nature of the OAuth libraries c9 uses to access Xero means we are unable to pinpoint specific invoices that failed. To deal with this c9 syncing works in two modes. Normally it runs in bulk but if during bulk sync it encounters an error it flags that the next run will be done in single step mode. In single step mode user gets information on failed sync operations and has option to abort/retry/skip individual items. Once a successful run in single step mode is completed Xero will revert again to the more efficient but more error prone bulk mode.
- Sync received items : originally would use the invoice number keyed in. This can be a problem if there are duplicate invoice numbers. To cope with this a unique number generated by c9 is also added to the invoice number.
- Xero integration now contains the ability to sync entire business activity/cash till report into c9. This functionality is experimental and beyond the ability of a non-programmer to manage the configurations of this: as every different shop will have different information they want to sync, in different aggregate forms into different chart of accounts. In coming weeks I will include some additional website posts that explain how to setup a basic archetypical configuration.
- Label printing: added further changes to now hopefully get Dymo printer working. Originally thought this was working but only tested it under Linux. Now confirmed it can work under Windows 7 as well.
- Profit summary report : include entry for unit sale line margins.
