OFBiz Development SVN r7236

85 new commits this week. SVN r 7235 builds and installs successfully.

Significant changes this week:

1. New implementation of gift certificates and financial accounts which allows gift certificates to be configured at the store level, purchased, authorized, and captured and refunded. The interface is similar to credit card payment gateway interfaces and plugs into the gift card at checkout.
2. Many improvements to the screens in accounting manager.
   

Accounting

• Added security and status checking to the service for removing payment application (r 7156)
• A new UtilAccounting.addFirstEntryAmount method for adding the first entry of a list to a big decimal (r 7157)
• New services and helper methods for creating fin accounts with codes based on store settings, getting balances and available balances, authorizing fin accounts, expiring authorizations, etc. (r 7158, 7163, 7164)
• Refactored the createInvoicesFromShipment services into two services: createInvoicesFromShipment and createInvoicesFromShipments; the first service simply calls the second passing a List containing one shipmentId; the second one can be used to create 'summary' invoices (i.e. an invoice that can contain order items shipped in different shipments) (r 7175)
• In the view invoice PDF, the (sales) shipment id (if available), used to ship the items to the customer, is now printed before the invoice items. Also, if the invoice item is of type SALES_TAX, if the description of the TaxAuthorityRate applied is available, it is shown under the description column. (r 7176)
• Added messages to inform the user when a payment is applied to an invoice (r 7178)
• Reorganized removePaymentApplication service: a number of errors solved and messages added (localization to be added later) (r 7179)

• Changed Gift Certificate release service to expire the related FinAccountAuth, instead of refunding the account (r 7219)
• Capture payment service now checks the actual capture service to see if it uses captureAmount or processAmount and uses the right field when calling it (r 7220)
