Action: reinhard is more a fan of code that does exactly what it has to do and not more ah, nevermind Action: jamest_ is slow got the thinking (an amazing process btw, i need to do it more often) that maybe this layer would be nicer if it was a generic langauge embedding wrapper it would be nice to have this generic wrapper but we shouldn't do it where we don't have to do it (mho) if you want to do it i won't object but i don't see any gain _here_ ah, gotcha I'm still debating it myself i'm a big fan of the "unix way" of doing things not asking "wouldn't it be nice if grep could also sort the output" but knowing that grep and sort are different tools and can be combined and every tool does one thing, but that in perfect manner hope you get what i mean :) yip btw this is why i don't like emacs ^ ^ ^ psu please don't put this in kc :) you....dont.....like....emcas? gasp! but what other text editor can edit code, wash your car, clean your fridge, and tell you when to go to the bathroom? :) i have my own module to clean the fridge it's called "sabine" ;) oooo i hope she doesn't read our logs probably not :) i hope she's the person in the pic I've seen and not the name of a family pet she is of course whew Action: reinhard pictures a goat licking the fridge to clean it lol btw - you remember when win* was benchmarked against samba and samba lost and the free software community was all up in arms about it unfair tests, etc, etc far away memory fading... i found it odd that visting the samba site today wasn't it ms that paid for the benchmark? they have a newpost from Nov. that show new benchmarks beat w2k in every test PC Magazine did the test and I didn't hear a word about it kinda odd figured it'd at least be worth an unbiased /. news story "W2K is Samba's bi0tch! MS Sucks! Free OSs^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HLinux rules!" hehe i guess the reason is win faster than samba is a surprise for everyone and has to be mentioned samba faster than win is an old story and doesn't get anybody surprised so no worth writing about it :) :) something else funny my samba install has worked flawlessly for so long I forgot about keeping it up to date care if I ask a database design question? alexey (alex@techkran.vladimir.ru) left irc: "[x]chat" shoot away ok we have the following classes of people Grad Students Faculty Staff Undergraduate Students currently the people in the office seperate these into seperate WordPerfect mail merge files they use as databases (don't ask) I am very , very tempted to make a general person table with either a classification field or a second table containing their classification and I was wondering what you typically do for your clients i know the office will hate a single table but they hate anything that isn't a word perfect mail merge file (again don't ask....I would have to rant for a 1/2 hour) so I guess the question is would people suggesting making seperate tables (views are readonly in postgresql :( ) or a single table and tell the users to deal with it or other hello? sorry back just a sec (sorry i am at work and not so good in multitasking) :) in any case single table at least if the information is the same for all people most of it is ok then i would go single table some things like office number and office hours wouldn't apply to undergraduate students well with geas i would go common parent table and inheritance ;) anyway with single table you gain the possibility to once I get them out of the word perfect way of doing things 1. do mail merge for all sorts of people in one step and into rdbms lifestyle then we'll talk OO :) hmmm i wonder if I should merge my alumni data in here too 2. maintain only one form instead of 4 forms ok, i'm going single table and deal with the dislike 3. create a new class of people w/o effort i have to go for a sec but one last questoin you could make it mostly transparent so to the user it could seem as it was 4 tables on the office houts hours I'm tempted to make office_hours table w/ link to people table many ppl have same office hours? no all different and change ever 4 months so it would be 1:1? ah 1:n yes bbias although it's not "normalization", i would make 3 fields in the main table it's better understandable to the normal user than a master/detail ok that's what we used to do at the place I worked however over time some tables got HUGE :) sure but for a factor of 3 i think it is doable cool! i would like a single table with say 90 fields better Action: jamest_ isn't a normalization die hard anyway than 30 tables with 1 field and 3 records each :) dont tell anyone...but it makes the forms easier to create too :) sure can i ask about the db interface? you bet i don't understand the need for 3 classes doesn't every DataObject have exactly 1 ResultSet attached and every ResultSet exactly 1 (current) RecordSet? nope a recordSet is one record pulled from the backend it's the individual fields a resultSet is a group of recordSets a dataSource is the connection to the backend so you pass a query to a dataSource and get a resultSet handed back to you Action: reinhard is on the phone if I screwed up naming of things here it's cause I'm doing from memory resultSets also implement caching so that if I pull 30000 postal codes from the db the resultSet may only grab them 20 at a time ok may i sum up what i understood? you have a single DataObject you can run 5 queries on that DataObject at the same time then you get 5 ResultSets each ResultSet contains a pointer to the current RecordSet you can save the pointer and do ResultSet.nextRecord() afterwards and save that pointer again and both pointers are then valid RecordSets so you can handle several RecordSets at a time is that correct?

I have some more detail as to our actual setup This is for a stock item: ok So Dr. is to stock, rather than expense yep Stay an item with a standard cost of 75 Action: psu feels quite comfortable in #gnuenterprise for once none of this python stuff I don't understand ;-) Purchase order raised for 1off for USD 100 Purchase receipt occurs making following postings STOCK 100 Accrual Acct 100 also posting a purchase result (due to difference against standard cost) Accrual Acct 25 Price Difference 100 gack, we are being over run by accountants ;) sorry Price Difference 25 accountants rox Action: phil_c is neither (general dogs body) Then get purchase invoice in but for USD 80 Registered Inv 25 sorry Registered Inv 80 ok - lots of lovely discrepancies AP Control Acct 80 just the sort of real world mess they never cover in the manuals and this is without quantity differences Yes the key thing is to KISS (Keep it simple) Then the invoice is matched against the purchase receipt, and "approved" Ideally, only deal with one discrepancy at a time at approval the Accrual Acct must be reconciled with the registered invoices account giving: Accrual Acct 80 Registered Inv 80 Action: dneighbo is lost, thats what he gets for only getting part of the conversation :) and then the price difference must be posted to the GL, giving: Accrual Acct -5 what is the problem from a large level in 'american' not 'english' ;) Price Difference -5 dn - basically, just assume everything that could possibly mismatch, does psu: im talking higher level i dont recall the original 'situation' i.e. i give a customer an invoice for $300 and he gives me a payment for $250 dneighbo: the difficulties in reconciling the value of received goods with purchase invoices was kind of what i thought the 'first' original thread was but then it turned into inventory counts etc dn - there are several issues floating about here which seemed odd First is exchange diff, which I know very little about exchange diff is evil having worked in or for UK public sector mostly lets leave it out of the equation for now :) IMHO, exch diff is a seperate issue anyway so would be one problem be.... agreed i make a purchase order to vendorX for 15 widgets for total of $150 i receive 10 widgets and then a day later get the invoice for $150 what do i do? is that hte question? partly i.e. do i pay him $100 but no close the PO the answer depends on whether you regard the order as "completed" or not etc etc etc I would never pay incorrect invoices just on principle helps the cashflow or do i pay him a $100 and close it (in which case if the other 5 widgets show what do i do) Also, in UK, VAT issues etc or do i not pay ANYTHING until the matter is resolved etc etc etc etc VAT = sales tax the problem with these types of problems is that they are all up to the business :) which is why gnue is great :) You have to decide whether the order is "complete" or not you can make it behave how you want to run your business :) If so, when you receipt the 10, you close the order psu: i agree, but that decision will be up to the 'business owner' & system should remove commitment for the other 5 i am not a big fan of lets put in a hundred ways to do it and then toggle a crap load of flags to tell you how i would rather see this done in templates of sortsb yes but those are an enigma right now :) so go figure i would say the base template should try to adhere to the GAAP or such accounting practices where applicable I'm not sure GAAP is really relevant here so if the 'accounting standard' is to not pay until order if full or what not that should be the 'base' template as that's really about external reporting psu : i didnt mean GAAP Action: phil_c tried to reconcile "no flags" with flexibility i meant damn accounting standard group that i can never remember acryonmn phil_c - I think the issue is that with GNUe, you have access to the source code i just blurted GAAP out of repition (we deal with them wya oto much here ) ;) so you can *make* the system work your way re-write and re-compile if necess phil_c we have an idea of 'templates' Not saying you should need/want to do that but you could which are like the concepts of flags only more hard coded in a different way rather than slow the system down and have 1000 different flagable fields etc which are horrible for reporting and such templates provide way of doing almost a diff against BASE modules to add or remove functionality think of customizations that survive upgrades :) and that can be shared dn - is this related to workflow, or is that another issue? in a nutshell thats best i cna describe it psu: different issue a simple example would be.... maybe in BASE contact manager module i dont want to store a birthday date as not everyone really uses it so the base doesnt have it but you want it psu: altering of business software internally helps the software "fit" business better in the short term, but becomes a nightmare for bug fixes. so you add it to the gcd and the form etc and run a process to create a template now if the base changes you upgrade the base and 'reapply' the template thus preserving your customization you could also give that customizatoin to others pc -I think dn just answered that ;-) phil_c thats what we are trying to acknowledge :) custom is best but it sucks to upgrade we want templates to give best of both worlds customize without loathing upgrades as in most software currently in the example i gave they handle it one of two ways the holy grail of IT a. they owuld create a custom table (that let you define field name, data type, etc, then give you a grid somewhere to enter data on it) b. you just modify the source and they say F you if you want to upgrade a. works well for QUICKLY extending and not fearing up grades BUT generally data entry is in CLUMSY places reporting is horrid against 'custom' fields you can do business logic against them etc etc b is evil well because you want to be able to upgrade :) phil_c you notice i speak of templates with a shaky voice dneighbo: I will be impressed!!! we know what we want to achieve, but we are not wholly convinced we have the wya to achieve it :) we are still 'formulating' how it will all play out phil_c note, jcater says we are going to take over the world, so i suppose a 'holy grail' would be a nice item to help achieve that ;) I call shotgun on Australia Action: dneighbo wonders if we can get a map to find excailubar why we are at it I am encouraged by geas using object interfaces totally.

And you also need to be able to verify the accrual ledger account by plowing through the purchase receipt logistics records, received invoice records, opening balance records and manual postings to the accrual account which is where we had the issues. Logically, the GRNI figure (goods received not invoiced) from the PO module should balance the amount on the accruals account at any point in time yep (Just like the open/unpaid invoices in AP should balance the AP Liability account in GL) If you're doing immediate accruals on goods receipts, these are both fundamental But sadly it doesn't always work like that I know the system I worked with was very hot on checking that unpaid in AP = AP liability in GL but the immediate accruals in PO was a later addition and much harder to keep on top of especially if your org was new to the concept of goods receipting on the system as the people I was helping was "Why do I need to tell the system the goods are here?

Zack is working on this anyway, and it should be in the parsing scripts real soon now In the meantime, I've gone back and added topics to all previous issues so when the parser kicks in there's something to parse The main issue for me is being completely consistent in topic names as "Financials" and "Accounting" would be diff topics to scripts as would "Application Server" and "Applications Server" etc anyway bedtime psu (psu@manorcon.demon.co.uk) left #gnuenterprise. Action: dneighbo votes we dont let jamest author any kernel cuzins as we might end up with topics like applikasion sirver, finashuls and acowting well, dneighbo either... jcater thats for sertun he commonly mispells "no, but we will support that in the future" as "yes, we do!" easy typo the buttons are close on the keyboard ive ben round jamest_ too long rofl jcater : thats not bad 'spelling' thats 'artistic interpretation' my favorite one recent is: 'yeah we are working on that, should happen real soon' what it really means 'yeah that pissed me off two, i msg'd jamest and jcater a few times and have put it in dcl, if it isnt there in a few hours i send in the dogs' rofl [16:00] Last message repeated 1 time(s). oh, yeah reminds me, I need a login for dcl or this one Action: Isomer starts bringing meat steaks to the channel so I can see what damage you;ve done 'yeah, we want to do that, but its not on the top of the list' which means 'you have a valid request, but its not something i can use, so stand in line chump' rofl guess you've heard that one a lot :) um jcater: was just going to add its one of my favorties, but i hate when its used against me :) wtf does this mean: cvs server: existing repository /cvsroot/gnue/gnue does not match /cvsroot/gnue/gnue/reports excellent question never seen that wtf did you do? means you just got some cvs luvin cvs co reports -d gnue-0.1 gnue scratch that that was my first type typo cvs co -d gnue-0.1 gnue/reports btw what is gnue-0.1 i assume some sort of tag? I'm checking out the 0.1.0 branch into a gnue-0.1 directory by default, it would create the gnue directory hold on I checked out forms, designer, and common using that method but they had a -r argument but reports hasn't been tagged (seeing as how it hasn't been released :) hrm jcater my question was more why that tag name? we should probably be tagging things that's not a tag name vx.x.x that's the directory I want to use you can't use . in a tag Isomer i meant _ bad habits :) each tool is tagged as -0-1-0-patches ok :) i was just gonna say or TOOLNAME as gnue is too confusing :) tagged=branched :) well it should be just tagged at first sigh it is tagged and not branched until needs patching each tool is tagged as -0-1-0 then branced as -0-1-0-patches cool branched sigh you're no help :) Action: jcater yells jamest!!! I think he's off playing w/ (l)users well we need it documented at some point... so you say its not tagged/branched? the reports tree? reports is not you are trying to do a co right? correct of reports only into gnue-0.1 instead of gnue cvs co -d gnue-test gnue will check out all of gnue into the directory gnue-test so I'd think you could do cvs co -d gnue-test gnue/reports -d hmmm -d tells where the cvsroot directory is i dont think its a 'local' directory sigh I do this all the time Action: jcater calls out, "jamest!!" I implemented your 'style="label"' but need to test it :) ah, think I have a workaround -d CVS_root_directory Use CVS_root_directory as the root directory path­ name of the master source repository. Overrides the setting of the CVSROOT environment variable. This value should be specified as an absolute path­ name. -d CVS_root_directory Use CVS_root_directory as the root directory path­ name of the master source repository. Overrides the setting of the CVSROOT environment variable. This value should be specified as an absolute path­ name. thats a cvs option, not a cvs co option do cvs co -help -d dir Check out into dir instead of module name. doh my bad gowlin (gowlin@CPE00E029258486.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) left irc: Read error: 113 (No route to host) jcater you have a .CVS file or something hanging out there or your CVSROOT is pointing somewhere squirrely i just ran dneighbo@gatekeeper:~$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnue co -d gnue-0.1 gnue/reports cvs server: Updating gnue-0.1 U gnue-0.1/AUTHORS U gnue-0.1/COPYING and its fine what is your CVSROOT variable? the gnue/gnue makes me think you are in a gnue directory that you had from cvs i.e. did you do co gnue ajmitch (~me@p32-max2.dun.ihug.co.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. then from the gnue directory try to do this gnue-0.1 or something? ......
