------------------------------------
Summary: Have type-ahead function in stead of drop-down for
CustomTimePeriod update
Key: OFBIZ-10931
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10931
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: accounting
Affects Versions: Release Branch 16.11, Trunk, Release Branch 17.12,
Release Branch 18.12
Reporter: Pierre Smits
Currently in the overviews of Edit Custom Time Periods screen (see [1]) the
user can select a parent period for any given period record. This is done
through a drop down widget from EditCustomTimePeriod.ftl
The construct for the values shown is:
# the organisationPartyId,
# the periodTypeId, and
# the periodNum
# the customPeriodId
The page shows the drop-down values as following examples:
* Company Fiscal Quarter: 2 [6011]
* Company Fiscal Quarter: 3 [6012]
* Company Fiscal Quarter: 5 [6014]
* Company Fiscal Quarter: 2 [6016]
* Company Fiscal Quarter: 3 [6017]
* Company Fiscal Year: 1 [6010]
* Company Fiscal Year: 1 [6015]
As can be observed, the information provided is confusing. And when the number
of periods to select from gets long (consider the hierarchy:
month-quarter-year) it is easy to make mistakes.
Furthermore, given that there is a hierarchy between periods, it should not be
possible to select a period that is outside the higher order. Meaning there is
a FISCAL_MONTH defined for say fromDate=2019-03-01 and thruDate = 2019-03-31,
then It can not belong to a FISCAL_YEAR that either ends before the fromDate of
the FISCAL_MONTH period or start after the thruDate of the FISCAL_MONTH.
