Ideas To Improve Existing Functionality of webERP


1. Traceability of GRNs paid is not as good as it could be. To identify when an item received was paid for it would be great to be able to click on a stock movement in the movements inquiry and find the GRN it was received on and the supplier invoice it was paid for on. Currently the only loop back to the GRN is through the narrative on the GL transactions created if the GL integration to stock is not used then we don't even have this! I think what is required is to store the GRNs against supplier invoices in a new table - credit notes would need to alter these or perhaps store another negative entry.

2. A history of the costs could be maintained together with the reasons for cost changes with user names effecting the cost changes.

3. An update and insert transaction log - with the username who effected the updates inserts. A new table would be required. This could be done through modifications to the DB_query script and the text of the messages sent to the DB_query function used as log entries. Or maybe the prnMsg function....

<Tim?>
The problem here is that none of the messages currently sent to DB_query are very informative regarding what the transaction was doing. That information is contained in $SQL, but I think this could cause security issues? If the sql could be stored in a secure way, then a script could be written to parse this string, and display it in a readable form as an audit trail.
</Tim>
<Phil>Yes - unless we add another parameter to DB_query and do "a little" rework on existing scripts - or what about making a stab at what is being done based on the calling script? - we still need transaction numbers etc though. I am not sure that we want to duplicate the SQL log which is accessible already - provided it is enabled in my.cnf. This is quite a job to effect but probably a significant over-sight in the original system development ... whoops:-(</Phil>
