Requirements

Intro

Core need: To eliminate double entry of Sales Invoices into 2 systems at Jaguar:

• CT2 transportation system
• QuickBooks (QB) accounting system

Instead we suggest entering once into CT2 and then periodically upload into QB.

Example

See Figures below.

Figure 1 CT2

Invoice as it is entered in CT2.

Figure 2 QB

Invoice as it is entered in Quickbooks.

Forward in batches

All sales invoices/credit notes entered in CT2 would be forwarded to QB in batches (bundles).

Frequency

Initially once a day at the end of the day.

Review process

Before batch is populated into QB accounting operators should have a chance for "30 sec review".

Gaps in invoice numbers

First inv# in new batch should be next number after last one in previous.

Systems Design

Summary

QB dashboard panel is a part of CT2 dashboard that is located on the homepage of CT2 Internal Application.

This panel is designed for:

1) indicating of new accounting documents in CT2 (should be imported into the QuickBooks accounting system).

2) daily transmission of accounting information from CT2 into the QuickBooks accounting system in IIF-format.

Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) files are text files that QuickBooks uses to import and export data.

• Each IIF-file is a daily batch file.

• This file is created for each Jaguar office, whose in the office settings has a IIF-file creation time: Admin -> Users and Offices -> Offices. See Figure 0.
• Daily upload of IIF-file should be started at the day that is specified in "start since" datebox.
• Suggested daily time of the batch creating is 3 pm. (Time Zone defines by local office time).
  • Example: Daily time of creating set to 3 pm. "Start since" set to 01-Sep-2010. This means that first IIF-file will be created On September 1 at 3 pm. It will contain all docs that were created from 12 am to 3 pm on Sep,1.
    • Next batch will be available to view on September 2 at 3 pm and will contain all accounting docs that were created from 3 pm on September 1 to 3 pm on September 2.
    • Etc.

• This file should be created automatically and it should contain an information about all accounting documents that were created in one certain Jaguar office per one day.

• At now the documents for uploading to batch file are Sales Invoice and Credit Note only for New York office.
• NOTE: Unapproved Credit Notes should not be part of the upload.

• Each IIF-file can be downloaded from QB panel on user's computer for its further transmission into QuickBooks.

QB dashboard panel

QB dashboard panel placed on the homepage of CT2 Internal Application in the form of the table.

• Visibility of QB panel is set for user in "Dashboard configuration" section of "Edit Jaguar User" window: Admin -> Users and Offices -> Jaguar Users. See on Figure 1.

QB panel indicates number of new documents in CT2 that not imported yet to the QuickBooks. See on Figure 2 (a, b).

Non-zero value in the "Not imported" column is also a link to the #List Of Invoices.

Columns Definitions

• Document Name: String "Sales Invoice / Credit Note", because the upload batch file should include info of both of these documents.
• Not imported: Number of new documents to import. Here is indicate the total value of the number of Sales Invoices and Credit Notes.

List Of Invoices

List Of Invoices opens in new window and should represent list of all available batch IIF-files. This list contains also the marks of document's import state and some additional information.

List Of Invoices is a standard CT2 table with paging and sorting features. Each row of the document table corresponds to one date. See on Figure 3.

Columns Definitions

• No Label: column for (multi)-selecting of rows for change their state to imported/new.

• click on header's checkbox selects all rows of current page.

• Date: Date of batch as Datatypes#CT2 date.

• List Of Invoices should be sorted by this column in descending order.
• Example: 03-Sep-2010.

• Filename: Name of downloadable IIF-file. At the same time it is also a link to downloading. Define also its creation date.

• The output string consists of the following parts:

• the document's ID - CT2QB.
• creation date - formatted as "dd-MMM-yyyy".
• mark of state of current batch: is equal "imported" if batch was imported; is equal "not_imported" if batch was not imported.

• Example: CT2QB_03-Sep-2010_imported.

• Sales Invoices.

• Shows count of Sales Invoices (SI) in batch and range:

• number of the first SI for the reporting day - number of the last SI for the reporting day

• Example: Count: 17, Range: US265 - US281.

• Total Amount: Total of amounts of all SIs included to batch file (2 decimal places).

• Example: 21 050.00.
• NOTE: Header of column should contain short name of Office currency. Example: "Total, USD".
