External accounts management

Image Scales2 User rights for handling external accounts can be set up either at the Modify User Page or the User Right Page under the element
External account and export management

In various pages of Blue Chameleon, an external account has to be given, through which to link an object (article, delivery method, tax,... ) to the External Account System.
 
External accounts are defined through Image z_External_accounts / Image z_Add_new_external_account, as illustrated below. On the subsequent Add External Account Page, you will have to pick this new external account's type from a drop-down menu ; several are available :

  • 'article' and 'article expenses' : to be associated with an article while at its Add/Modify Article Page ;
  • 'client' : to be associated with a client while at her/his Add/Modify Client Page ;
  • 'VAT' : to be associated with a tax code ;
  • 'stock article' and 'pending stock article' : to be associated with a stock category or stock article ;
  • 'bank account' : to be associated with a bank account ;
  • 'credit note account' : to be associated with a credit note account ;
  • 'cash register account' : to be associated with a cash register account ;
  • 'delivery' : to be associated with a delivery method ;
  • 'payment' : to be associated with a payment method ;
  • 'salesperson' and 'counterpart' : to be associated with a salesperson ;
  • 'cash register transition' : to be associated with a user ;
  • 'pending depreciation' and 'pending expenses' : to be associated with stock article statuses.

For all of these, an account can be defined as default (only defined once, and appears as <Default> in the related page's 'External account:' menu) or specific (several for each type can be defined, and appears as the given account number in the related page's 'External account:' menu).

Current external accounts are then handily accessed via Image z_External_accounts. They are there displayed as a list with for each account its label, the type attached to it, and the possibility to edit or delete it with the help of Image z_Modify and Image z_Remove buttons :
