GERMAN: BezahlCode

January 13, 2011 in German, GrandTotal, Payments 5 Comments

Wenn man an einem Tag 5x den selben Feature-Wunsch bekommt sollte man sich diesen genauer ansehen.
Gestern haben die Macher von iOutBank die Spezifikation für einen BezahlCode veröffentlicht.

Um einen solchen QR-Code in seinem GrandTotal Layout einzubauen braucht es nur ein paar Handgriffe und eine Internetverbindung während dem Senden der Rechnung.

  1. Im Layout ein TextFeld einfügen
  2. Dieses rechtsklicken und “Script…” wählen
  3. Untenstehendes Script einfügen
  4. Die ersten drei Variablen personalisieren


var name = "Max Mustermann";
var account = "12345";
var BNC = "1234567";

var reason = grandtotalrecord.nameOrDraft().replace(/\ /g,"+");

var URL = "bank://singlepayment?";
URL += "name=" + name.replace(/\ /g,"+");
URL += "&account=" + account;
URL += "&BNC=" + BNC;
URL += "&amount=" + grandtotalrecord.costWithTaxes().toFixed(2).replace(".",",");
URL += "&currency=" + grandtotalrecord.currency().shortName();
URL += "&reason=" + reason;

var requestURL = "https://www.bezahlcode.de/generator/?generate=" + encodeURIComponent(URL);
result ="<img>" + requestURL + "</img>";

Die Breite des Textfeldes ist für die Grösse des QR-Codes auschlaggebend.

What, if taxes are changing?

In some countries the taxes are changing this year. This short post will show how to add the new taxes in GrandTotal.

  1. Go to Preferences/Taxes and hit the “Edit…” button below the right table
  2. Add a new rule, call it something like “From 2012″ and close the sheet
  3. Then add the correct values for each of your clients groups

  • Move to Preferences/Item Groups
  • Assign the new tax to all corresponding item groups

If you have 2 or more tax rates, repeat the steps for all of them

Reminders

Creating a reminder in GrandTotal is easy. In the late invoice select the + Documents tab and attach a new document. It will be a reminder by default. + Documents can also be used for delivery notes or receipts. You can setup as many types you want in the settings button below the preview

PayPal

If you are requesting money using a PayPal link, you might be interested in the PayPal Payments plugin.
After you have installed the Plugin in Overview/Plugins/Get Plugins, you will get a new item called “PayPal Payments” in the Plugins section.

This will lead you to the PayPal login. Once logged in on your PayPal account will show up directly in GrandTotal. In contrary to the appearance in a Browser you will notice an “Assign” button to the right of your PayPayments.

Clicking this popup menu will check if you have one or more open invoices that match the amount and you just can assign the payment to that invoice.

Just in case you are wondering. There is nothing evil about this plugin. It just patches the visual appearance and adds this button.
