------------------------------------
We are now pretty far implementing this. Anybody have any objection when we
create a branch for this?
> Introduce Accounting ledger segmentation
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-5282
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5282
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: accounting
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Hans Bakker
> Assignee: Hans Bakker
> Fix For: SVN trunk
>
>
> We have the possibility here to be able to introduce Apache OFBiz accounting
> in a large multi company organization. This organization is evaluating the
> several alternatives and after evaluation of OFBiz, came up with a function
> which OFBiz needs to have, in order to be considered.
> The user story:
> Although OFBiz accounting has the 'costcenter' function, it is not
> fine-grained enough, we need to be able to segment the ledger to a lower
> level that the GL accounts namely to the accounting transaction.. Further,
> all existing reports should have the facility to be able to select a segment
> of the ledger for either costing, profit or other purposes like special
> projects.
> The proposed user interface.
> We need at least at the order item level the ability to specify a
> parent-segment/segment and a percentage, if the percentange is not 100% the
> remainder to 100% should be assigned to another segment.
> These segments can be defined and assigned by the user to the order item upon
> entry. When the related invoice is created the segment(s) will be copied and
> can overridden before posting when these segment names will be copied to the
> accounting transaction.
> The proposed user reporting.
> All existing ledger reports will have the additional ability to select these
> segments and will only incorporate accounting transactions where this segment
> is specified.
> The proposed technical implementation.
> 1. add a new entity called LedgerSegment with fields: ledgerSegmentId,
> parentSegmentId, description
> 2. add another 3 similar entities: OrderItemSegment, InvoiceItemSegment,
> AcctTransSegment to make the relation to the LedgerSegment entity and to
> specify the percentage.
> 3. Change the order, invoice, accounting transaction screens and ledger
> report entity views to be able to use the segment names when available in the
> LedgerSegment entity
> As i said , please let me know what you think, this is a great opportunity
> for OFBiz accounting.
> Regards,
