Describe the bug

I can’t assign a vendor to a recurring invoice

Steps To Reproduce

Assign Vendor to recurring Invoice

Expected Behavior

Vendor should be assigned but when the screen refreshes the vendor field is blank. Roloading the Recurring Invoice also shows a blank vendor field.

Additional context

Logs

Logs are blank, even though I have tried this several times with four different recurring invoices.

Hi,

Are you using the web or desktop app?

Hey Hillel, long time my friend.

I am on the webapp.

I have developed a new webplatform that I want to launch, but I need to now get all the backend stuff working. One of the things I am trying to sort out is paying all the Sales Agents their commission. So I have setup a test install. I have 5 test sales agents setup as vendors.

The idea is that I can use the API to call Active and Paid invoices, which I can use to generate TSV data on a daily basis, and then at month end, I can use that TSV data to generate an Expense document using the API for each sales agent so that they have a “Statement” for their commission.

Then I can generate a datafile to upload to my payroll software and boom boom boom, I am able to calculate everyones pay with very little effort.

Of course, this project is getting some nice budget, so I can finally have an install with the White Label license. Yay

Nice, sounds like an interesting project.

Are you able to test with the desktop app? It will help determine the source of the problem.

Okay, took a while to install all the dependancies, but it’s running.

If I use the desktop app to create a recurring invoice with an assigned Vendor, the Vendor remains assigned. I clicked Send Now and there is no new invoice under Invoices.

I checked the database, and the recurring invoices table shows that the vendor id is assisned. I check the invoices table and there is a new invoice there, but it has null in the vendor id column.

The webapp shows the new invoice, but also no vendor was assigned when it got generated.

I see there is a refresh button in the bottom corner of the app. New invoice is there. Just need to figure out why we having trouble with the Vendor assignment.

If both apps are having trouble then it points to a problem in the backend, please create a new discussion here to follow up.
