Description:
|
Madhav from hugo already seems to be eager around implementing basic functioanlity needed around creating, updating chart of accounts - see https://github.com/keithwoodlock/mifosx/pull/75
Key to this and all accounting related areas is that we dont repeat mistakes/gaps of previous accounting implementation in mifos. For chart of accounts that was mostly:
- Flexibility in being able to change COA at any time within reason, deleting an account thats being used in the past should not be allowed but I guess there might be a case for 'disabling' it ('..Once a GL account is added and old Mifos is started, only the name was allowed to be changed...)
- Limitation on depth of hiearachy of COA 'categories'/ledger accounts
- No assumption of 'required GL accounts' ('...Names and GL codes on older mifos cannot be changed for required GL accounts...)
Once we settle on the functionality required around Chart of Accounts (COA) we will create schema and begin development on it.
What is COA:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chart_of_accounts
What we know:
- COA must support hierarchy of 'accounts'. To facilitate querying it might make sense to have a 'column' that makes this more convenient like was done for 'office hierarchy' see m_office table.
- see m_acc_coa table for current schema
Outstanding
Questions:
Q1. Is there a need to support more than one Chart of Accounts?
Q2. Do we have an example of the COA used by GK or GK-maarg or Nirantara?
