Description Josef Moravec 2016-11-30 11:06:31 UTC
As using the MANUAL_INV for defining fines is not ideal, I tried another approach by defining the two new db tables for credit types and debit types with own administration page. 

Patch will be uploaded soon

Hi Josef,
When I tried to add a new debit type, I got the following error:
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): Table 'koha_mykoha.account_debit_types' doesn't exist at /home/ckirby/koha/Koha/Objects.pm line 83

Did you upgrade your db schema? I forget to mention it in test plan, sorry.
Comment 8 Chris Kirby 2016-12-11 01:21:49 UTC
(In reply to comment #7), 
Hi Josef, thanks for the tip to upgrade the db schema.

When one creates a "manual invoice" for a patron using one of the created debit types, both the debit type code and the description are entered into the "Description of charges." However, for the pre-existing debit types, the debit type description is entered twice in the "description of charges".
Is there any reason for this difference?

When one creates a credit type, there is no field for default amount. Is there any reason for leaving a default amount out of the credit type but keeping it in the debit?

According to db changes, is it possible to extend type_code from only 5 chars to (let's say) 10 chars? It would be very useful for some libraries having a longer list of payments not to be so cryptic. For instance, one of them (Czech only - sorry):

It's a bug, I am going to work on this a bit more...

Yes, the reason is, the when you are creating manual invoice, you often know the price of some kind of things, but you can't pretend which amount are people going to pay, or so...

Comment 18 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2019-04-24 18:14:58 UTC
Sorry, this one isn't ready at all for testing yet I'm afraid. I've been working through the tree of bugs above it and may will split this one up a little further too once a few more of those foundations are closer to being in.

Don't worry, I've certainly not forgotten this one though, we have lots of customers very eager to see it too.
Comment 19 Michal Denar 2019-04-24 18:56:42 UTC
Hi Martin,
we want this feature too. So, I'm ready for testing. Just set status if follow-up will be ready.

Thank you.
Comment 20 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2019-04-25 10:15:32 UTC
Probably the best way to get this one moving again at this point is for someone to follow the dependencies down from bug 22200. I think I've added reasonable test plans to each of the bugs now so they should be reasonably clear.

I intend to get back onto this bug in earnest very shortly, but I have my doubts that it'll make it into 19.05 at this stage.
Comment 21 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2019-10-24 21:17:56 UTC
The combination of bug 23049 and bug 23805 resolves 90% of this enhancement report.  What is missing is the UI for account credits.

I chose not to implement the UI for account credit definitions as part of bug 23805 as at the time of writing all credit types are hard coded in Koha.

I do wonder if we still require the 'PAYMENT_TYPE' authorized value and corresponding accountlines field however. It feels like that should be merged into account_credit_types and then a UI exposed much like the account_debit_type management page introduced in but 23049.

As such, I'm leaving this bug open awaiting those next steps.

Bug 17702: Add UI to manage account credit types

It is the same as for debit types.

It adds a new column `archived` in table `account_credit_types` that has
the same purpose than `account_debit_types.archived`

Test plan:
0. Apply patch && run updatedatabase && update_dbix_class_files
1. Go to Admin » Credit types
2. Add a new credit type, give it a code and a description and check
   'Can be manually added'
3. Go to a patron's accounting section, 'Create manual credit' tab
4. Verify that the new credit type appears
5. Return to Admin » Credit types and archive the credit type
6. Verify that the new credit type is not available anymore in 'Create
   manual credit'
7. Restore the credit type and verify that it is available again
8. Create a manual credit with the new credit type
9. Go to Reports » Cash register and make sure you can find the
   transaction by filtering on transaction type
10. Edit the new credit type and set some library limitations, make sure
    that the credit type doesn't appear if you're connected to a library
    you didn't selected, and that it appears if you're connected to a
    library you selected.

Note to QA team:
The change in Koha/Account.pm, I added it because otherwise Koha died
when adding a manual credit with a custom type.
In that case, offset type will default to 'Manual Credit'. I'm not sure
if that is the best thing to do. I'm open to suggestions :)
Comment 23 Julian Maurice 2020-02-07 13:13:47 UTC
Not sure if it should still be BLOCKED, or if it is the right bug for this patch. Martin, can you take a look please ?
Comment 24 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2020-02-10 09:59:08 UTC
Thanks for taking this on Julian, 

I'll just reverse the dependencies and we can unblock this one, it's great to see a new face taking an interest in this work.

I'll give it a test later today :)

I somehow missed that performance comparison.. I'll have a look, thanks for bringing it up..

Jonathan is looking to work on a mass replacement of existing strings to move us over to this standard as a mass change and also update the QA scripts and xt test for filters to prevent the false failures we were seeing on this patch.

Thanks Julian..
