Can't change accounting preferences after setting them once

[Sneha Chaturvedi]

I did following:

1) Accounting --> General Ledger
2) Setup for Company
3) Got the screen "Accounting Preferences" with non editable fields

Here I want to change Base Currency from USD to other.
Editable options come at very first time when I setup GL, onwards How can I edit Accounting Preferences ?

Thanks in advance for any pointer.

You may use
webtools/control/ViewGeneric?entityName=PartyAcctgPreference&partyId=Company&enableEdit=true

Just be very careful when doing this in an existing system!

It is not supported in the normal UI for a reason, and that is the  
code doesn't try to go back and cleanup things like already posted  
transactions, so changing many of these fields can cause data  
consistency and other problems.

Hi Jacques,

Would it not be easier to have a field in ofbizsetup to select the base
currency on the 'Create new organization'-screen?

Pierre Smitz is spot on with his comment. As per everything that I have tried in my evaluation to date almost every aspect of OfBiz so far has been unwieldy.

[Jacques Le Roux]

Yes, we could add also the Organization TimeZone... words...

Yes.

Isn't that where ofbizsetup is intended for? To enable the user to do a
first time setup of an organisation without have to execute obscure scripts
and tasks?
