----------------------------------------
Assignee: Van Mittal-Henkle
> Review API addition to allow plugins to detect duplicate payment info
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MIFOS-3215
> URL: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-3215
> Project: mifos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sam Birney
> Assignee: Van Mittal-Henkle
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: StandardAccountService.java
>
>
> (I emailed this to the developers list a few days ago. I hope someone will
> please respond soon, we would really like to start preventing duplicate
> payments from being imported.)
> the AccountService API currently provides a useful way for client code to
> apply payments to accounts, which is used by the bank import (and MPesa
> import) plugins.
> I propose enhancing it with a way to provide information about existing
> payments as well. With the ability to retrieve information about existing
> payments, clients could make choices about whether to warn users that
> payments may have already been applied for the same account on the same
> payment date, with the same receipt number, e.g.
> This would be a big help at a certain MFI which is currently using the bank
> import plugin extensively, and often finding that users are mistakenly
> uploading the same spreadsheet of payment data multiple times, leading to
> lots of bad data which is not always detected immediately and significantly
> time-consuming to correct when it is detected.
> The new interface method prototype could look like the following, and its
> implementation could look like that in the attached file. Before I go
> further with extending the plugin with logic to detect duplicate records,
> does this seem reasonable? Would it be OK to add this to the AccountService?
> /**
> * Lookup all payments associated with a given account.
> *
> * <at> param accountRef is a reference to the account for which payment
> information is requested.
> */
> public List<AccountPaymentParametersDto>
> lookupPayments(AccountReferenceDto accountRef) throws Exception;
> thanks,
