Install the patch to disable online invoice payment

Following recent changes in Flectra 16, you might be warned that disabling the Invoice Online Payment setting will uninstall modules. If you want to disable the feature without uninstalling modules, follow the steps below to install the module Payment - Account / Invoice Online Payment Patch.

Note

If your Flectra database is created after the module Payment - Account / Invoice Online Payment Patch was released, you don’t have anything to do.

To check if the module is already installed, go to Apps, remove the Apps filter, and search for account_payment. If the module Payment - Account / Invoice Online Payment Patch is present and marked as installed, your Flectra database is already up-to-date and you are able to disable the feature without side-effect.

Update Flectra to the latest release

The possibility to disable the Invoice Online Payment setting without side-effect is made available through a new Flectra module; to be able to install it, you must make sure that your Flectra source code is up-to-date.

If you use Flectra on Flectra.com or Flectra.sh platform, your code is already up-to-date and you can proceed to the next step.

If you use Flectra with an on-premise setup or through a partner, you must update your installation as detailed in this documentation page, or by contacting your integrating partner.

Update the list of available modules

New modules must be discovered by your Flectra instance to be available in the Apps menu.

To do so, activate the developer mode, and go to Apps ‣ Update Apps List. A wizard will ask for confirmation.

Install the module Invoice Online Payment Patch

Warning

You should never install new modules in your production database without first testing them in a duplicate or staging environment. For Flectra.com customers, a duplicate database can be created from the database management page. For Flectra.sh users, you should use a staging or duplicate database. For on-premise users, you should use a staging environment—contact your integrating partner for more information regarding how to test a new module in your particular setup.

The module should now be available in your Apps menu. Remove the Apps filter and search for account_payment; the module Payment - Account / Invoice Online Payment Patch should be available for installation. If you cannot find the module after having updated the list of available modules, it means your Flectra source code is not up-to-date; refer to step one of this page.

Once the module is installed, disabling the feature will work as intended and will not ask you to uninstall installed applications or modules.
