Description

Apologies in advance if this is user error and not a bug.

If I create a Sales Order for a gift certificate (basically using the Demo Seed Data) I think the finaccount is being created but I'm confused about the use-model.

If I look in the FinAccount table, I can see several GIFTCERT_ACCOUNTs. None of them have a finAccountName, but they all have a finAccountCode which looks like the output of a toString or something similar. With the Demo Data config, ought I be seeing a 12 alphanum account id somewhere in that table?

In the case where I am selling the GC to a customer (say on the phone), should I be able to get the account id from somewhere in the UI to inform the customer, and/or to print out on some official looking store card for later redemption. Or.......

Is the current implementation only intended for pure electronic use? A slight bummer if this is the base.

Also, where can I see the balance on a fin_account? I can see transactions in the GL, but I'm having a heck of a time finding where (if at all) I can view/update fin_accounts.

Again, apologies if this is inappropriate use of Jira, but from my naive perspective this looks like a bug, but I recognise it could be either deliberate design, or a stupid user

Cheers, Iain
