Pierre Smits updated OFBIZ-10931: --------------------------------- Summary: Improve the selection of the parent period for CustomTimePeriod update (was: Have type-ahead function in stead of drop-down for CustomTimePeriod update) > Improve the selection of the parent period for CustomTimePeriod update > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-10931 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10931 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: accounting > Affects Versions: Trunk, Release Branch 16.11, Release Branch 17.12, > Release Branch 18.12 > Reporter: Pierre Smits > Priority: Major > Labels: CustomTimePeriod > > 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. > > > > [1] > https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/EditCustomTimePeriod -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
