Various doubts about products (documentation)

daniel89fg · April 10, 2018, 10:01am

Can someone explain to me what role these two sections have over the products?

1 - Product units: This is within the products menu.
2 - Add item: Appears when you create a quote or invoice, below each line.

Thank you.

Items are just blank lines in an invoice. You can fill it with details that are not available as a product. For example one-time items or additional descriptions. You can use them but you don’t have to if you only sell pre-defined products.

Product units are the units displayed besides the amount and identify what the product amount is.
Examples: units, kg, 10-Pack, hours, GB,…
This makes sense if you sell special products like 10GB of storage on a server or 500kg of metal. In both cases it makes more sense to use “GB” or “kg” as a unit instead of just saying “500units”.

Understood, thanks for the explanation. But when I give “Add article”, within the budget or invoice, nothing happens, nothing comes out. I see that it makes an ajax call, but it does not return anything.

Could you enable the debug mode and post the response of the ajax call please?

SOLUTION!

In the file: modules/products/Ajax.php

Add this variable on line 48:
‘default_item_tax_rate’ => $ default_item_tax_rate

Being that way:
$data = array (
‘products’ => $products,
‘families’ => $families,
‘filter_product’ => $filter_product,
‘filter_family’ => $filter_family,
‘default_item_tax_rate’ => $default_item_tax_rate
);

Thanks for the hint!
Which version are you using currently?

daniel89fg · April 11, 2018, 8:23am

The latest stable version 1.5.9

Thanks, added a new ticket for this: https://development.invoiceplane.com/browse/IP-693

You’re welcome, a pleasure to help. I hope to continue doing it more and better.

Kovah · August 10, 2018, 2:38pm

@daniel89fg
I double-checked this and the default_item_tax_rate variable is present since October last year and present in version 1.5.9: https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane/blob/1.5/application/modules/products/controllers/Ajax.php#L48
