issues. You will need to manage it by yourself.

you printer should have the port to connect cash drawer as Bixolon SRP350II and Xprinter

● Can you please explain Inventory Accounting (FIFO/LIFO/AVCO)?
First-in-first-out (FIFO)
Defined: The oldest inventory asset is recorded as sold first – regardless of the
actual shelf-age of the given physical asset.
Applied: While it is the most widely used accounting technique in periodic
inventory management today, FIFO may fail to offer a full picture of
inventory value if inflation and price increases are not closely analyzed. Thus,
FIFO may inflate or deflate the actual value of future inventory.
Last-in first-out (LIFO)
Defined: The newest inventory asset is recorded as sold first.
Applied: The LIFO method could reduce a company’s tax responsibility in
times of growing inflation – but it has been heavily regulated under the
International Financial Reporting Standards.
Average cost or weighted cost (AVCO)
Defined: The AVCO (average cost) method will take the total cost of goods still
available for sale and divide it by the total sum of product from the beginning

Tecdiary IT Solutions
Stock Manager Advance – Documentation (TOC) 20

inventory and purchases.

Applied: With the AVCO method, cost flow is determined as a weighted
average of all total unit costs.
● When and where the inventory accounting method is used to calculate costing?
The balance quantity and costing will be calculated on sale in the site model
(app/models/site.php)
● Why I have cron job warning/message in system settings?
That is informational message to set the cron job.
If you have already set the cron job, then just ignore it.
● Why I need to set cron job?
Cron job will perform these tasks
o
Reset reference numbers
o Set the payment status to overdue after payment term for pending and
partial paid sales/purchases
o Delete expired products (disable/enable this in settings)
o Expire product promotions after end date
o Delete older login records
o Check if updates are available
● How can I setup cron job locally on windows?

generate pdf files.

you set it to -10 percent, then the products price will be (10%) lower than normal price.

Price Groups: The price group can be assigned to customer and then all the sales will use
that price group for the customer. This feature will help you set the different prices for
customers.

DEVELOPER GUIDE
As you know SMA is developed with CodeIgniter PHP Framework and you can find the user
guide for framework at http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/ Most of the times this will
be handy resource for you to check for guide/code/snippets on this user guide.

Please always backup your files and database before editing them.

We didn't add any comment in code. All the methods/functions are on same
pattern described here.

I am illustrating the page function here with comment so that you can have idea how these
pages are working. In controller class, each method/function present a page. In this
example, the controller class is comments and the method/function is add page. The code
will handle the add page and the view files will in your theme/comments/add.php

You can check the user group permission by calling the sma library's checkPermissions()
You even can set your own custom permissions. The available variables are $this->Owner,
$this->Admin, $this->Customer and $this->Supplier in all controllers and $Owner,
$Admin, $Customer and $Supplier in all view files (if you passed them the $this->data)

You can set the flash messages as $this->session->set_flashdata('item', 'value'); and item as

1. 'message' for success message

2. 'error' for any error
3. 'warning' for any warning alert
so to display a success message, you will need to do this $this->session-
>set_flashdata('message', lang('success_msg_lang_key'));

Input variables are mostly not defined in controller's page function. So you need to check
the view files for inputs. But in some pages, these are defined in controller too.

For validation rules, you might need to check the controller as we doing in this example.
But there are some rules that are defined in form_validation.php in app/config/ folder. You
might need to check this form_validation.php for your page. As we don't passing any
variable to $this->form_validation->run() so the array will be comments/add. Below in
removing the required from field if ($this->form_validation->run('companies/add') == true)
{, we need to check companies/add to set the validation rules for the page.

To load the view files, we have mentioned 2 ways, one by calling the core controller's
page_construct function and other by calling default loader view function. These both are
used, the page_contruct() is called to load the full page view and the loader view is called
to load the modal view.

Please be informed this is just for reference as there is no customers table in database but
all billers, customers and suppliers are being saved in the companies table. I am just

Tecdiary IT Solutions
Stock Manager Advance – Documentation (TOC) 42

describing the method’s pattern and you can always check the correct table name
in relative model. Each controller loads a model in constructor.

class Comments extends MY_Controller {

function add() {

// check user permissions

$this->sma->checkPermissions();

/ validate rules http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/form_validation.html#rulereference $this-

>form_validation->set_rules('comment', lang("comment"), 'required|min_length[3]|other_validation');

// Check validation
if ($this->form_validation->run() == true) {

/ Validation true, perform actions, in array

saving data $data = array(
'comment' => $this->input->post('comment'),
'from_date' => $this->input->post('from_date') ? $this->sma->fld($this->input->post('from_date')) : NULL,
'till_date' => $this->input->post('to_date') ? $this->sma->fld($this->input->post('to_date')) : NULL,
);
}

// validate again and send data to model

if ($this->form_validation->run() == true && $this->commnets_model->addComment($data)) {

// validation was fine and model returned true so set message

and redirect $this->session->set_flashdata('item', 'value');
redirect("welcome");
} else {

/ validation failed or model returned false

/ set input variables, most these are not set and used view files
for input $this->data['comment'] = array('name' => 'comment',
'id' => 'comment', 'type'
=> 'textarea', 'class' =>
'form-control',
'required' => 'required',
'value' => $this->form_validation->set_value('comment'),
);

/ check errors
$this->data['error'] = validation_errors() ? validation_errors() : $this->session->flashdata('error');

/ set any other variable to pass to view

$this->data['modal_js'] = $this->site->modal_js();

// load view by calling core controller's page_construct()

$bc = array(array('link' => base_url(), 'page' => lang('home')), array('link' => '#', 'page' =>
lang('comments')));
$meta = array('page_title' => lang('add_comment'), 'bc' => $bc);
$this->page_construct('comments/add', $meta, $this->data);

// OR load view by calling loader's view()

$this->load->view($this->theme . 'comments/add', $this->data);
}
}
}

Adding Language
Guide to add new language.

● Please create new folder in app/language/ and name it yourlanguagename

● Folder name should be without space and all lower letters.
● Copy all the folders/files from app/language/english/ and paste then to
app/language/yourlanguagename/
● Now you can translate these all file to your language
● Download flag image (format: png, width: 16px, height: 11px) and paste it in
assets/images/
● You can add new key to language array. (See Code Section)

Please replace the yourlanguagename with your language. For example, spanish, french,
chinese etc

If you are getting the error "Unable to load the requested language file:
language/francais/form_validation_lang.php or calendar_lang.php" Then you will need
to add your language in system/language/ as you did above for app/language/ and
translate the system language files to your language.

To add select option in setting's language

Please open themes/default/admin/views/settings/index.php and search for ( $lang = ) You

can replace the default with your theme if you are using different theme. You can add new
array key for your language as following:

$lang = array(
'english' => 'English',
'yourlanguagename' => 'Your Language Name',
);

yourlanguagename must be same folder name that you created in app/language/

Theme
We are aware that developers always need to modify the base code. Once the update
available, their job become difficult to update as they have modified the code for their
client needs. This is first step to offer easy modification for developers. Though this only
covers the view side. But we will be exploring the ways to offer easy modification for
controllers/models side in future.

In v3 you can add your own themes by creating the folder in /themes/. Please make sure
there is no space in the folder name. Currently there are 2 folders in /themes/ i. default
ii. errors

Errors folder will be the same for all themes and you only need to modify the error file in
/themes/errors/html/ (in case you need to modify, most of the times you won't need to
modify these error files.)

You theme will have 2 folders, assets and views, assets folder will contain all you css, js
and images files and the views folder will contain the view files for page (main content
area view).

The main file to modify will be the header.php and footer.php in

/themes/admin/yourtheme/views/ as you will set all the styles and javascript code here.

If you need to modify only a few view files, then you can just create only views folder in your
/themes/yourtheme/admin/ and copy the view file from /themes/default/admin/ and paste
to /themes/yourtheme/admin/ and modify this.

For example, If I need to modify the dashbord view file, I will create a theme folder in
/themes/ and name it 'mytheme', copy the dashboard.php file from /themes/default/admin/
and will paste into /themes/mytheme/admin/ and modify these files as per my needs. I will

$themes = array(
'default' => 'Default',
'mytheme' => 'My Modified View Files'
);

need to add and set the theme in settings view file as

Once I updated the settings with 'My Modified View Files' as my new theme. The dashboard
view file will be loaded from mytheme theme and all other those don't exist in the
mytheme will be loaded from the /themes/default/admin/

Please be informed this rule does not apply to assets folder for any theme. If you have
created the assets folder in your theme, system will look all the css, js and images from this
folder and if they do not exist, you will get page without any style.

Removing Required
To remove validation, you will need to edit few files

1. app/controllers/admin/sleectTheControllerYouWantEdeit
2. themes/default/admin/selectTheAppropriateFolderOrFile
3. Database table to accept null value for that field

Please alter the database table to accept the null for your inputs (postal code).

1. Open phpmyadmin and select the database

2. Select the customers table
3. Click Structure
4. Click change on field name (city) line
5. Tick/check the null checkbox
6. Click Save

Now try to add customer without city. You won't get any error as we have remove
the required validation for this input.

You can use these steps to remove the required field for any other fields.

Please be careful while removing the required from some fields as these might be used in
other modules, like removing the required validation for email to accept customer with no
email could cause issues/errors for emailing the invoice to customer in sale/pos.

Let say we want to remove the restriction from postal code from add customer

Open themes/default/views/customers/add.php and look for city input code

<?php echo form_input('city', '', 'class="form-control" id="city" required="required"'); ?>

We need to remove the required (you might need to check pattern) attributes. We will delete the code below

required="required"

You need to check the validation rules in app/config/form_validation.php We are validation

if ($this->form_validation->run('companies/add') == true) {

so search 'companies/add' array and then look for array with field 'city' and remove the required
from rules and now your rules will be as

'rules' => 'other_validation'

For some pages, you need to check the rules in controller as app/controllers/customers.php
and look for function add() and see the validation line on top as

$this->form_validation->set_rules('city', lang("city"), 'required|other_validation');

Remove the line, if you want to keep other validation, please remove required from last
part of the validation. After this our validation line will look as

$this->form_validation->set_rules('city', lang("city"), 'other_validation');

Add/Remove column to table

Here are the steps to follow

1. Modify the select statement and select the desired column, in the controller.
2. Add new element to datatables aoColumns (should be in sequence).
3. If you need to add footer filter then to dtFilter.
4. Lastly add the th tag with column heading to table head and table foot (should be
in sequence).

These will be the step for add any new column on any listing page.

To remove a column, you will need to

1. Modify the select statement and remove the desired column, in the controller.
2. Remove the element form aoColumns of datatables.
3. If there is table foot filter, please remove it from dtFilter too.
4. Lastly Remove the th tag with column heading to table head and table foot.

I am adding the code to add the new column (state) on the customer list page and
there won't be code to remove the columns but you can follow the step above.

1. Open then app/controllers/customers.php and look for the select statement in

getCustomers() and add state after city

->select("id, company, name, email, phone, city, state, customer_group_name, vat_no, award_points") 2.

Open the themes/default/views/customers/index.php and look for aoColumns and null as 7th element

"aoColumns": [ {"bSortable": false, "mRender": checkbox}, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null,
null, {"bSortable": false}]

3. Let's add column filter we will be adding for column number 6 the 7th element if start from 1 for array 0.
Please don't forget to increase the column number for other columns that are after this.

{column_number : 6, filter_default_label: "[<?=lang('state');?>]", filter_type: "text" },

{column_number : 7, filter_default_label: "[<?=lang('customer_group');?>]", filter_type: "text" },
{column_number : 8, filter_default_label: "[<?=lang('vat_no');?>]", filter_type: "text" },
{column_number : 9, filter_default_label: "[<?=lang('award_points');?>]", filter_type: "text" },

Array element start from 0 so the 7th element number will be 6 in the array.

4. Let's add th tag to table head and foot by add the line below after the th tag city for city.

<th><?= lang("state"); ?></th>

Sorting Tables
We have used datatables library for all listing tables. If you need to change any table sorting
column, you will need to modify the view file.

The first column of the table will start from index 0 and then increase 1 with each column.
Let say you want to sort the table with 4th column then you will need to use index 3 as
"aaSorting": [[3, "asc"]],

You can change the sorting for any table by modifying the files as described here.

For example, if you need to change the sorting for customers, you will need to edit
the /theme/default/admin/customers/index.php and search
"aaSorting": [[1, "asc"]],

This is being sorted for 2nd table column, if you want to sort it by id (1st table
column) then you will need to change as
"aaSorting": [[0, "asc"]],

You even can sort the table with multiple columns as

"aaSorting": [[0, "asc"], [1, "asc"]],

Barcodes and Labels

You can print barcodes/labels by visiting the print barcodes/labels under products menu,
then add products and choose any template. The feature has been updated to suit most of
your needs.

Beside fixed templates, the continuous feed option has been improved to accept the size
(width, height and orientation) so that everyone can print according to their need. There
is option to display extra information on the barcodes/labels.

You can easily add your own template by modifying the

themes/default/admin/assets/styles/helpers/print.css and the view file
themes/default/admin/views/products/print_barcodes.php as you need.

You can visit categories/subcategories to add all the products to this

barcode/label printing list, same can be done from purchases and transfers.

Functions/Methods handling the barcodes and labels pages are

• print_barcodes() - Handles barcode/label printing for multiple products

• single_barcode() - Handles barcode printing for single products
• single_label() - Handles label printing for single products
• product_actions() - Handles barcode and label printing for multiple
selected products

Pin Code:
If you set any pin code, the staff will be asked for this pin code to delete/reset the sale.

POS Printing:
There are 3 options for printing

1. PHP Server (only for localhost/Desktop)

If you have install the item locally (localhost), you can choose this option on
the installed machine.

2. Web Browser
To use the web browser's default printing.

3. PHP POS Print Server

If you have installed the item on live/local server and want to access it from different
machines, you will need to install PHP POS Print Server (ppp:
https://github.com/Tecdiary/ppp) on each machine. We recommend you install it,
add local printers and set defaults. Then set the local printers to yes in POS setting
to use the local ppp printers. You can have separate printers on each machine.
For those who can't manage to install (ppp), they can purchase PHP POS
Print Server (Windows Installer) that comes with each install and logs feature.
