]project-open[ - Service Management

Hi all.

Can I know why in "Project summary" I have in "Preliminary Costs" the row "Expenses" empty ?

I found in "/web/projop/packages/intranet-cost/tcl/intranet-cost-procs.tcl" this rows.


append prelim_cost_html "</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>[lang::message::lookup "" intranet-cost.Expenses "Expenses"]</td>\n"

append prelim_cost_html "<td align=right>

<!-- $subtotals([im_cost_type_expense_report]) $default_currency -->


Why this row is commented ?

Dear Enrico,
before I digg further into the code:

a) Did you track any expenses for this project?
b) Did you already update your system to the most recent version?
See http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1862803&forum_id=295937 if not ...

Hi Enrico,

You're right, there is no "preliminary expenses" costs in ]po[ so far.

Maybe we should remove that field from the finance view, because it really doesn't make sense. We've added it there for "symmetry" reasons.

The field really refers to a kind of budget for expenses, but that's usually included in the normal budget.

Cheers!

Hi.

I changed the code in file /web/projop/packages/intranet-cost/tcl/intranet-cost-procs.tcl



set spese_prel [db_string spese_preliminari "select sum(amount) from im_costs where cost_id in (select expense_id from im_expenses where expense_id in (select cost_id from im_costs where project_id= $project_id) and invoice_id is null)" -default 0]
set lung [string length $spese_prel ]
if {$lung == 0} {
set spese_prel 0
}

In your opinion is right?
Thank you


Enrico

I also chenged the variable name to see the $spese_prel variable in Preliminary Costs.

I thought of excluding the sum of expenses those expenses that are billable, in such a way as to have only the actual expenses not reimbursable by the customer. Considering the rate of reimbursement.

Hi Enrico,

Looks OK so far. However, we won't be able to include this in our "standard distro" yet.

Thanks a lot!
