`trading` : Product invoices¶

The plugin¶

Lino implements product invoices in the lino_xl.lib.trading plugin. The internal codename was "sales" until 20240325, we renamed it because you might generate product invoices for other trade types as well.

The plugin needs and automatically installs the lino_xl.lib.products plugin.

It also needs and installs lino_xl.lib.vat (and not lino_xl.lib.vatless). Which means that if you want product invoices, you cannot not also install the VAT framework. If the site operator is not subject to VAT, you might add lino_xl.lib.bevats which hides most of the VAT functionality.

>>> dd.plugins.trading.needs_plugins
['lino.modlib.memo', 'lino_xl.lib.products', 'lino_xl.lib.vat']

This plugin may be combined with the lino_xl.lib.invoicing plugin which adds automatic generation of such product invoices.

Configuration settings¶

trading.print_items_table¶

The name of a table view to use when printing invoices using appypod print method.

This is a plugin setting.

Product invoices¶

class lino_xl.lib.trading.VatProductInvoice¶

The Django model representing a product invoice.

Inherits from lino_xl.lib.ledger.Voucher, SalesDocument, Matching, lino_xl.lib.invoicing.InvoicingTargetVoucher and StorageTransferer.

Virtual fields:

balance_before¶

The balance of payments or debts that existed already before this voucher.

On a printed invoice, this amount should be mentioned and added to the invoice's amount in order to get the total amount to pay.

balance_to_pay¶: The balance of all movements matching this invoice.

Methods:

get_print_items(self, ar):

For usage in an appy template:

do text
from table(obj.get_print_items(ar))

class lino_xl.lib.trading.InvoiceItem¶: The Django model representing an item of a product invoice.

class lino_xl.lib.trading.InvoiceDetail¶: The Lino layout representing the detail view of a product invoice.

class lino_xl.lib.trading.Invoices¶

class lino_xl.lib.trading.InvoicesByJournal¶

Shows all invoices of a given journal.

The master instance must be a journal having VatProductInvoice as lino_xl.lib.ledger.Journal.voucher_type.

class lino_xl.lib.trading.ProductDocItem¶

Model mixin for voucher items that potentially refer to a product.

product¶: The product that is being sold or purchased.

description¶: A multi-line rich text to be printed in the resulting printable document.

discount¶: The percentage to subtract from the price of this item.

ItemsByInvoicePrint ItemsByInvoicePrintNoQtyColumn

Paper types¶

class lino_xl.lib.trading.PaperType¶

A sample use case is to differentiate between invoices to get printed either on a company letterpaper for expedition via paper mail or into an email-friendly pdf file.

Inherits from lino.utils.mldbc.mixins.BabelNamed.

templates_group = 'trading/VatProductInvoice': A class attribute.

template¶

Trade types¶

The plugin updates your lino_xl.lib.ledger.TradeTypes.sales, causing two additional database fields to be injected to lino_xl.lib.products.Product.

The first injected field is the sales price of a product:

>>> translation.activate('en')
>>> print(ledger.TradeTypes.sales.price_field_name)
sales_price
>>> print(ledger.TradeTypes.sales.price_field_label)
Sales price
>>> products.Product._meta.get_field('sales_price')
<lino.core.fields.PriceField: sales_price>

The other injected field is the sales base account of a product:

>>> print(ledger.TradeTypes.sales.base_account_field_name)
sales_account
>>> print(ledger.TradeTypes.sales.base_account_field_label)
Sales account
>>> products.Product._meta.get_field('sales_account')
<django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey: sales_account>

The sales journal¶

The pierre demo site has no VAT declarations, no purchase journals, no financial journals, just a single sales journal.

>>> rt.show('ledger.Journals', column_names="ref name trade_type")
=========== ================ ================== ============
 Reference   Designation      Designation (en)   Trade type
----------- ---------------- ------------------ ------------
 SLS         Factures vente   Sales invoices     Sales
=========== ================ ================== ============

Invoices are sorted by number and year. The entry date should normally never "go back". Lino supports exceptional situations, e.g. starting to issue invoices at a given number and entering a series of sales invoices from a legacy system afterwards.

>>> jnl = rt.models.ledger.Journal.get_by_ref("SLS")
>>> rt.show('trading.InvoicesByJournal', jnl)
... 
===================== ============ =========================== ============== =============== ================
 No.                   Entry date   Partner                     Subject line   Total to pay    Workflow

IllegalText: The <text:section> element does not allow text¶

The following reproduces a situation which caused above error until 2015-11-11.

TODO: it is currently disabled for different reasons: leaves dangling temporary directories, does not reproduce the problem (probably because we must clear the cache).

>> obj = rt.models.trading.VatProductInvoice.objects.all()[0] >> obj VatProductInvoice #1 ('SLS#1') >> from lino.modlib.appypod.appy_renderer import AppyRenderer >> tplfile = rt.find_config_file('trading/VatProductInvoice/Default.odt') >> context = dict() >> outfile = "tmp.odt" >> renderer = AppyRenderer(ses, tplfile, context, outfile) >> ar = rt.models.trading.ItemsByInvoicePrint.request(obj) >> print(renderer.insert_table(ar)) #doctest: +ELLIPSIS <table:table ...</table:table-rows></table:table>

>> item = obj.items.all()[0] >> item.description = """ ... <p>intro:</p><ol><li>first</li><li>second</li></ol> ... <p></p> ... """ >> item.save() >> print(renderer.insert_table(ar)) #doctest: +ELLIPSIS Traceback (most recent call last): ... IllegalText: The <text:section> element does not allow text

The language of an invoice¶

The language of an invoice not necessary that of the user who enters the invoice. It is either the partner's language or (if this is empty) the Site's get_default_language.

Some fields of a registered voucher can remain editable¶

The default behaviour is that a registered voucher is not editable.

>>> UserTypes = rt.models.users.UserTypes
>>> InvoicesByJournal = rt.models.trading.InvoicesByJournal

>>> obj = InvoicesByJournal.model.objects.first()
>>> obj.state
<ledger.VoucherStates.registered:20>

>>> ar = rt.login("robin")
>>> actor = InvoicesByJournal
>>> actor.get_row_permission(
...     obj, ar, actor.get_row_state(obj), actor.update_action)
False

But if you set ledger.VoucherState.is_editable to True for the registered state, then the record itself becomes editable.

>>> ledger.VoucherStates.registered.is_editable = True

>>> actor.get_row_permission(
...     obj, ar, actor.get_row_state(obj), actor.update_action)
True

>>> obj.disabled_fields(ar)
{'clear_printed'}

Only the voucher state refuses editing, the actors don't disable editing for all rows:

>>> rt.models.trading.InvoicesByJournal.editable
True
>>> InvoicesByJournal.hide_editing(UserTypes.admin)
False

TODO: Split is_editable of a voucher state into two booleans: fields_editable and row_editable. For example the partner field of a registered trading invoice must never be editable while the language field or some narration might remain editable.
