current_qti_invoice_process_balance_sheet.txt   Doc/Text 6/25/2019 This is a small brainstorming doc that Brandon and Steve were using to record ideas and flow of transitional invoices (QTI invoices - between a quote, transition, and an invoice). These are things like work in progress, layaways, pre-paid, etc.

We even got into some ideas of futuristic reports for balance sheets and showing aggregated data totals and sums as they play over time (in 3D calendars of sorts). Fun ideas.


Notes:

See attached for a small work document that Steve and I were using for some brainstorming on the QTI (between a quote, transition invoice, and a real invoice) tracking and process. Here are a few of the notes:

- We may need to go to a line item level on the dates (po/invoice line items)… Currently, we try really hard to match the main (PO's and invoices) with the line items. There is some built-in code to help with this process.

- We may need to pull some data... and see what to do with it - For example: you stand in this line, you stand in this line. (analogy between parallel lines and diverging lines and the bubble analgoy - small flex zones or small flex bubbles)

- We would love to see the ice-down date, aggregated data, watchers, feeders, tiggers, 3D calendars, taking things clear out to minutes and seconds vs just 24hour dates (June 1st, June 2nd, etc.).

- Steve and I were talking about "display only" pieces on the balance sheet... The future potential from QTI invoices may be a display piece, not a real book piece. Just like the liabiltlty for loyalty points. Just ideas.

- Small talks about posting (old school accounting and posting to differnet accounts) vs a computer just running logic to figure out where things were at (roll call accounting) - a computer can figure it out and repeat those actions every time so that it just flows through vs having to post and post and repost. Basically, make it show up for roll call vs doing different journal entries every time.

- To make the current QTI process work, we skipped the tax stuff until the very end... We also need to track both lists of invoices that are still in transition and those that are done. This is really true if you are going back in time.

- We briefly talked about using aggregated data to show daily break-downs in the full P&L and balance sheet levels - even to the 3D calendar level
- different categories go down the left side.
- dates go across the top.
- totals show up below (per column per date), they also show up per section (far right per row or per record).
- it would be so cool if we could put all of the known P&L and balance sheets categories on a single report and then pull from special daily totals (aggregated data) to populate thos values.
- see this element of time in the adilas university site for some sketches of a similar idea

- What has been changed and what has been iced down?  - Evaluate those values as we move across time on a report and/or calendar?

- What about using ajax (asynchronous calls to get the data) to figure out the aggregated totals as they show up.

- It would be really cool to see the known issues and be able to drill-down to those values easily... even through the aggregated totals.
