Hi;

I am proposing the following menus for the GL section of the rewrite.

These would behave identically to the equivalents in 1.4, except that they have been slightly re-arranged. Additionally a statement of cash flows would be new.

Journal and Ledger

Add Journal Entry

Add JE Vouchers

Search Journal/GL

Search Batches

Chart of Accounts

Year End

Add Account

Import Journal Entry

Import Chart

Financial Statements

Trial Balance

Income Statement/PNL

Balance Sheet

Statement of Cash Flows

Best Wishes,

Chris Travers

Hi,

I would like to share some thoughts with you, regarding recent functions which has no forms yet.

Specifically:

FX rate list with filters (date range, currency) - at this moment one cannot have a list about FX rates or even add a new one by hand for a specific date

user controllable URL to get FX rate and some common source from the internet (by rules, here we use MNB's FX rate in the accounting)

for example: http://www.mnb.hu/arfolyam-tablazat?query=2014.09.20.,2014.09.23.,1,USD,EUR,CAD (ok, it needs a better URL for receiving only the required number in a better parsable format) (http://www.mnb.hu/arfolyamok.asmx?WSDL)
that would be helpful to have an information about the valid RX rates from somewhere (custom place and a general place, for example from http://finance.yahoo.com/ )
one-click copy the FX rate from the information box to the form

audit trail:

extending the audit trail to have entries about login, logout with IP addresses, and more if you have more idea,
on an investigation, inspector should follow the activity of a user in the timeline, even a log with what data changed and what was the previous value
in-application form to be able to see the activity with clickable links (opened in new window) to records, like invoice, transactions
only read-only of course
I think it could be a bigger task

how to manage recurring invoices, like subscriptions

especially, how can a customer subscribe or cancel its subscriptions without human (operator) interactivity? In Magento there is a recurring profile, but it limited to paypal payments etc., so, as a 3rd party solution Magento is not as good I thought before.
workflow could be: in each period the client could get a proforma invoice or real invoice to pay -> when client pays and the payment recorded in the system, it issues an invoice (when proforma is sent) and/or a notification the subscription period changed
usually a recurring invoice has some data changes, like a note: "This invoice covers the following service period: 2014.09 full month"
So, using variables will be necessary, like <?lsmb YYYY.MM ?> and so on

These points need to polish of course, they are not a complete specification.

Any comments?

Cheers,

István
