Finance Progress: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:25, 2 December 2013

General Information

This is list of finance functionality along with an indication of progress and a list of things that still need to be done to complete each section. This is a work in progress, I am just adding sections as I go through testing...

Validation needs to be added to all screens so I have not specifically stated that for each one, though I have taken that into account when estimating the percentage done.

Finance Setup

Currencies (100%)

Corporate Exchange Rates (90%)
- Still a bit more testing required (import + effect of changing used rates)

Daily Exchange Rates (90%)
- Still a bit more testing required (import + effect of changing used rates)

Method of Giving (95%)
- Although they are shown in Petra as well, it might be worth removing "Used by recurring gifts", "Involves a Trust" and "Involves a tax rebate" unless they are actually going to be used in OpenPetra (they are not used in Petra). (Bug 2526)

Method of Payment (95%)
- Although it does also exist in Petra, it might be worth removing or renaming Special Method of Payment. In Petra it is basically a flag that prevents deletion of the method of payment and is used for Methods of payment that have special functionality associated with them (so is not really relevant on the maintenance screen). If it was to remain then renaming to Not Deletable? might be more helpful. (Bug 2531)

Analysis Types (90%)
- Setup Shepherd missing (may be able to live without)
- Associate Analysis Types with Cost Centre/Account combos (not current functionality but database supports it)

Form Design (0%)

Define HOSA & ICH Email Destinations (100%)

General Ledger Setup

Create Ledger (80%)
- Need to add some additional accounts to the default COA (eg. ICH accounts). Will need to ask whether ICH should be asset or liability (bug#2532)
- Bugs (2156-2159)
- May need to be linked more closely to ledger settings screen

Delete Ledger (100%)

Accounts (60%)
- Need accounts displayed in full list, not just hierarchical view (bug 2533)
- Need print functionality
- May need some additional restrictions (eg. summary and posting account types should match)
- Should disallow foreign currency accounts for income and expense accounts (bug 2534)
- Need Budget Control flag (should only be available if a_ledger.a_budget_control_flag_l = true) (bug 2535)

Cost Centres (70%)
- May need ability to add/remove foreign cost centres (Ledger->Setup->Tables->Foreign Ledgers in old Petra)
- Need to be able to set Equity Settings on the Cost Centre (bug 2536)
- Need to be able to set Project Constraints (bug 2537)
- Need ability to create Non-ICH funds and set clearing account (new functionality as of Petra 2.2.19) (bug 2538)
- Need to lock down System Cost Centres (eg. 4300S) (bug 2539)
- Need Print functionality

Enable/Disable Sub-systems (70%)
- Screen works but can still get into deactivated modules (bug 2361)

Define Calendar (100%)
- Decision made to allow only 12 or 13 periods calendars

General Parameters (90%)
- "Allow use of suspense accounts?" is there but makes no difference (bug #2376)
- The following parameters cannot yet be entered (even on ledger creation). It should be possible to set these on an existing ledger (not just on creation)
  - Specify standard report text on selected reports (need to check if this is used) (see feature bug 1163)

General Ledger

GL Batch Maintenance
- Batch Search (50%)
  - Missing Date Range as filter criteria (bug 2431)
  - various other bugs

  - Journal description should default to batch description (bug 2543)
  - Need Allocation journals (bug 2544)
  - Need Re-allocation journals (bug 2544)
  - Need Revaluation journals?? (may not be necessary if main revaluation screen is flexible enough) (bug 2545)
  - bug #2419
- Create/Edit/Delete/Print Transactions (70%)
  - No print option
  - Should not allow blank narrative (bug #2418)
  - Key Ministries not quite working (bug #2420)
  - Bug in analysis attributes (#2421)
  - Needs to check on Save that budget not exceeded (if account has budget control flag set). (this may be there already but not possible to test because no budget control flag on Account setup

Recurring Batch Maintenance
- Batch Search (??%)
  - need to test when working
- Journal Search (0%)
  - Probably not necessary
- Transaction Search (0%)
  - There is a transaction filter but that only filters within a batch. A full transaction search facility across all batches is still required.
- Batch/Journal/Transaction grid (100%)
- Create/Edit/Delete/Print Batch Header (??%)
  - can't create batch due to bug 2453 so can't test further

Import/Export
- Import batch (70%)
  - Daily exchange rate record should be created if a foreign currency journal is imported
  - Doesn't provide option to accept, for example, "100" as "0100" (Petra does this, presumably to help with problems caused by csv generation in Excel)
- Export batch (100%)
Display Balances
- Foreign Currency Accounts (0%)
- Suspense Accounts (0%)

Reports
- Balance Sheet (50%)
  - Needs option to select Cost Centre(s), including Cost Centre Breakdown option and option to toggle between showing inactive cost centres or not
  - Needs Auto-Email option
  - bugs
- I&E (50%)

- AFO Report (0%)
- Analysis Attributes
  - Will test later once firm decision on Alwyn's multi-dimension reporting

  - Ditto Internal Transfer
- Extract Suspense (70%)
  - Ditto above

- UI needs work (bugs 2403, 2410)

Foreign Currency Revaluation (90%)
- Doesn't allow selection of Cost Centre (posts automatically to standard CC - maybe that is ok but will need to check)
- Change reference to match Petra (bug #2487)
- Needs hourglass (bug #2486)

International Currency Revaluation (if necessary - depending on whether intl balances are stored)

Resummarisation of balances (if necessary - depending on whether summarisations are stored)

Budgeting

Budget import (20%)

- Bugs (1466)
Budget maintenance (40%)
- Needs printing
- Need to show the actual budget period values in the grid
- Needs some sort of Find facility (a filter, with wildcards, by Cost Centre and/or Account might suffice)
- Doesn't cope with anything other than a 12 period ledger (bug 1455)

- bugs (1470, 1472)
Submit (consolidate) budget (90%)

Gift Processing

Setup

  - No "Tax deductible" check-box
  - No "Export to Caleb" check-box
  - Admin fee lists could do with being a bit larger so descriptions can be read
  - Currently cost centre list only includes local CC's. This might be ok except that Petra allows Foreign CC's so if installing OpenPetra for an existing site there might be a problem (eg. South Africa db has a motivation with cost centre 4100)
Gift Batch Maintenance
- Batch Search (50%)
  - Can filter by year & period but might be better to filter by batch description and date range as in "old" Petra
- Transaction Search (0%)

  - Needs validation that date is in open period
  - Needs some sort of link to Daily Exchange Rates (currently exchange rate just entered manually)

  - Auto-population of recipient where motivation linked to a key ministry (will first need to be added to motivation detail setup)
  - Needs print functionality
  - Grid needs re-design to make distinction clear between normal and split gifts (see forum entry: https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/openpetraorg/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=221)
  - Recipient class currently unlimited. Probably needs to be limited to FAMILY, PERSON or UNIT.
  - Recipient field doesn't seem to be getting picked up properly (bug #1001)
  - Various bugs (979-982, 984-985)
  - Need to add label for donor information (in Petra displays bank account, receipting preference, anonymity)

- Field Change Adjustment(0%)

  - Need to get up-to-date cost centre and account based on recipient/motivation (leaving cost centre untouched if a reversal)
