Finance Progress

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%)
    • Feature bug 1113
  • 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)

    • Create/Edit/Delete/Print Batch Header (80%)
