Templates Cause Bank Duplicates

Problem

When using Goldenseal accounting software version 3.2 as a client, entering Material Purchases that use an instant payment, and that are created from a template, will create two bank payments (one for the original amount of the template, and one for the final amount).

This problem can also happen with bank transfers made from a template.

Caught By

Turtle Creek staff.

Workaround

Delete the duplicate/incorrect bank records.

Solution

This problem is fixed in Goldenseal construction accounting software versions 3.3 and later.

Technical Details

This was actually a subtle problem caused by the way we saved new records from the client. The server wasn't getting all of the posting in the correct order, so it didn't realize a payment had already been created. We now have a much cleaner way of saving new records from the client so this problem is history. As a bonus, it's a bit faster too.
