Fixing small issues with SG&A costs with Sean. They had setup a system and started running things. They were a little bit too deep and we had to back some things out (going from child inventory to parent inventory - going upstream a bit). Sean and I were working on some back dating of invoices. He was trying to get a balance sheet in order and up to date for a demo. We found a small error, if doing some back dating and got it fixed. Lots of backend database work to get things cleaned up.

We found an issue with both loyalty points and gift cards. If the invoice date was the same as today's date, no problem. If the invoice was back dated, it went through the cart ok but the dates that got stamped were the adjusted date/time stamps based on the user's time zone offset. What we really need is the transaction date to be applied to those invoice payments and any auto clean-up processes behind the scenes. We'll get it all figured out. The way was found it was on purpose doing tons of back dating and then immediately checking the financials and backend accounting reports and records. Good stuff.

Cory and I going over projects and assignments. Sub inventory reporting and getting into system wide aggregates. We also spent some time talking about supporting our team members.

Checking on auto dates for loyalty points and gift cards. Didn't fix it but thought that I found something. I'll have to circle back around. The problem was dealing with an adjusted date/time or the actual transaction date (especially if back dating an invoice). We need those two dates for different things and processes. It looked like some of the code was using the adjusted date/time for both the effectual (when should it show up) and the historical date (when did it happen). They are different.

Working with Bryan on new time settings and a sub view of the horizontal time view (for subs of time). Merged in some code for him dealing with a show/hide button/link on an interface page.

Light research on a possible disconnect between transactional dates (effectual dates or when it shows up for roll call) and historical dates (when it really happened). Sent an email to Eric with some questions. Listed the issue on the known issues page. This is a running list of things that we know that we need to watch out for. At some point, we'll have to fix all of those things, but at least we are recording what we know and are learning. That's part of the game.
