Implementers Topic #126

 

Implementers Topic #126

Suzette Caneda

  • Invoices: rounding

  • We use prorated adjustments to apply tax to invoices. FOLIO uses banker's rounding (rounding to the nearest even) but our university does not. We round up for values of half a penny and above and round down for values below half a penny. We should be able to change or choose the way FOLIO handles rounding.

    Also we're not sure if this is what is causing some discrepancy between the invoice line fund distribution amount vs. the actual transaction amount, as shown in this example:

  • Dennis: So you are rounding to the nearest dollar rather than the nearest cent. Is anyone using different rounding methods? I think it’s technically possible to expose a setting for the rounding method. Need a feature for this, it would be helpful to know early on if other methods of rounding need to be available.

  • Suzette: Added screen shots where they sometimes see where the invoice line doesn’t match the voucher lines when the funds get totaled up.

  • Dennis: Try and recreate it in the test environment, then create a Bug for it. There is a template you can fill in for Bug fixes. If you do it in Bugfest, you can reference the records in the Bug Fix.

  • Dennis Bridges 12:38 PM

  • The link that describes the process of reporting a bug
    Production Libraries - How to Report Bugs

Implementers Topic #127

 

Implementers Topic #127

  • Suzette Caneda

  • Invoices: 

    fund amounts not shown in json for multi-funded invoice lines

  • When there are multiple funds split by percentage on an invoice line, is it possible to show in the json returned by okapi the item and adjustment amounts for each fund? It would also be helpful if the adjustment amounts are shown in the UI for each fund.

  • Joe: You do it by % rather than absolute dollar. So you are looking for a some sort of back end conversion.

  • Suzette: So for each fund when it’s divided up, it would show the total and also the % splits for the adjustment lines as well.

Implementers Topic # 128

  • Invoices: invoices in foreign currencies do not show the converted system currency amounts in json

  • For invoices in foreign currencies, is it possible to show in the json returned by okapi the item and adjustment amounts converted to the system currency for each fund? It would also be helpful if the converted system currency amounts are shown in the UI for each fund.

  • Joe: So you want this to go to your accounts payable system in system currency rather than the foreign currency. There has been a lot of work in the Q release, test the issue there and see if this is still a problem.

 

Implementers Topic 129

Martina Schildt

Implementers Topic # 129

  • Organizations: add a multi-select option for languages

  • As a user I need to add multiple languages to a contact person or the general contact information.

  • Question: Can we have a multi select here rather than a single select?

  • Joe, We have multi select categories, will look into it here.

  • Aaron - Would you want that strictly on the contact information for the organization or would you want that for the contacts that can be assigned as well? Martina: Yes
