2014. Victor Ogueri joined our team, with working experience garnered from the IT, hospitality and secretarial professions.
2040. We revised Randomizer to correct a LeMIS journal generation issue introduced during the last update.
2084. Following client request we researched online to evaluate web-based real estate software. Open-Realty, Open Real Estate, PropSpace, Act! For Real Estate Professionals, Maisonette, Online Real Estate System were among those examined.
2095. Attended to issues reported by EPPMS client, adding 2018 columns to the MDA nominal roll and writing script to reverse the last pension number change, sending them email to download the installers.
2106. Put in place the code to display a basic transaction form for our custom FrontAccounting Cooperative Society module.
2110. Continued building the transaction form of the Cooperative Society module, implementing the “onchange” event for a form field within the FrontAccounting API. We had the name of a member display on the form when the member number was entered.
2121. Cooperative Society module: Rounded up work on the transaction entry form and implemented the two transaction inquiry forms.
2132. Made technical support visit to Cheetah Press to help set up the “Packaging” job type, resolve a non-recognition issue with some paper materials—due to the presence of x before the one used to specify the paper size (as in 297x210mm)—along with discussing further customization of calculations for some finishing items.
2143. Implemented the new finishing calculation for Cheetah Press, using semicolon at the end of Material List text as trigger to activate when to use number of ups as a multiplier for the consumption input on the Bindery List. In calculating the hours to be used by an machine operation, if the name of the operation ends in semicolon the the quantity would be divided by the product of ups and consumption, rather than by consumption alone. Cooperative Society module: Implemented members inquiry.
2154. Paid technical support visit to Cheetah Press and updated their Printwiser database.
2165. Cooperative Society module: Finalized work on the member inquiry screen and moved on to generating transactions for loans paid out.
2176. Cooperative Society module: Completed the generation of transaction records for a loan.
2180. Cooperative Society module: Implemented creation of transaction records from deposits and later began the loan deduction processing.
2191. Cooperative Society module: Completed loan deduction processing and started work on transaction posting.
2213. Successfully debugged a “cursor is not open” error from the transaction posting code, finding out by strategically placing audit trail table update messages the statement just before the error. The error wasn’t from the open cursor being closed unintentionally by another statement, only that the cursor opening statement was within an IF statement that evaluated false while the closing was outside the IF.
2224. Cooperative Society module: Completed revising GL journal generation code to work in the new FrontAccounting 2.4 and so rounded up work on the transaction posting option. We got support calls from Printwiser users on not being able to post an Inventory requisition transaction and advised them on what to do to resolve the issue.
2235. Cooperative Society module: Implemented a search button for all GL account inputs using a function in the new FrontAccounting 2.4, then implemented the default settings option. An EPPMS user called to report accidental payroll posting and a visit was scheduled.
2246. A Printwiser client called to report their server had crashed and request we come reinstall their database on it. In Cooperative Society module we implemented the first report, the loan listing taken straight from MR-Payroll module created last year, with necessary changes.
2261. Paid technical support visits to NRC where we restored their EPPMS database backup last done automatically to their server, and to GPP where their Printwiser database was also reinstalled on their server.
2272. Completed the account statement generation in the Cooperative Society module, remaining to implement the “my statement” version of it that would not prompt for a member number, but would generate for the logged-in member user.
2283. Cooperative Society module: We explored how to display a report programmatically (rather than having a user select it from the reporting menus), in preparation for the “my account statement” implementation. A MoneyBooks client visited to discuss technical support issues while a Printwiser user at GPP reported a need for a special report involving extracting figures from several Printwiser estimates and an upgrade was considered for it to make it fast and easy to generate. Following the expiration of their three-month free technical support period, Cheetah Press made an appeal for further extension by two months.
