Hi Everyone,

See this post for an updated and more accurate description of ADempiere/iDempiere’s Payfrom (ispayfrom):
—————————–
The purpose of this post is to better explain the ADempiere and iDempiere’s Pay From (PayFrom) checkbox on the Business Partner’s Location tab. The summary is that this field is seldomly used.
- The Pay From check box is used in three places in the system:
- Set the appropriate location for a Dunning Run when the BP is set programmatically.
- Set the appropriate location for an Invoice when the BP is set programmatically.
- Set the BP Invoice Location during the Invoice Import process.
- There are no references to isPayFrom in any of the Application Dictionary fields (reference, colSQL, Default Value, Display Logic, etc…)
I hope this helps!!
ADempiere vs iDempiere vs Openbravo vs Compiere
Please note that ADempiere, iDempiere and Openbravo are forks or copies from Compiere. Therefore, they have similar abilities mentioned above. The biggest difference is that ADempiere and iDempiere are pure open source. There are no features held behind a commercial or paid license.
About Chuck Boecking: I am an ERP educator. I believe that open source ERP have achieved mainstream capabilities, and as a result, more companies can create greater efficiency across their organization. I started using the iDempiere code base in 2003. Back then, it was called Compiere. In 2006, I started my first multi-million dollar installation. Since then, ADempiere has helped me create great success with distribution and manufacturing companies all over the world. My vision of success is to find companies that can best use open source ERP to help them achieve a single, global instance that drives a discontinuous increase in profitability. I believe that organizations win when they own their technology.
