Special notification
 | Please be informed that we detected critical issue related to accounting in the MP2.x releases series (MP2, MP2.1 and MP2.2).
Here are related to it tickets in Openbravo bug tracking system:
Most heavily this defect affects Openbravo instances operating in a multi-currency mode (transactions and accounting schema are in a different currencies or any multi-accounting schema configuration). Functionally due to it posting of some transactions to general ledger can be wrong (this only happens in the instances working in a multi-currency configuration) or some transactions are not posted at all. Technically incorrect semantics change in the public API was introduced in the method getConvertedAmt. Please don´t use current definition of this function in your developments until we release a fix. Emergency update MP2.3 to fix this issue has been released. It contains all required explanations on how to detect and correct wrong postings for those affected and will restore normal posting process. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We are taking serious measures to avoid such situations to happen in the future. |
