I was experimenting with Z_RePostGLFromPeriod.php and Z_UpdateChartDetailsBFwd.php on test data because I noticed two incorrect entries:
I also noticed running Z_RePostGLFromPeriod.php tidied up some of the small fractional amount entries in the ChartDetails table:
I also noticed the same when running Z_RePostGLFromPeriod.php.
So my questions are:
1> Is this normal and as expected?
2> If running both scrips which should be run first?
3> Should one or both scrips be run at certain intervals?
4> Should I just leave it all alone and not mess with either script?
Just curious...
From the WIKI:
Z_RePostGLFromPeriod.php - Utility to repost all general ledger transaction commencing from a specified period. This can take some time in busy environments. Normally GL transactions are posted automatically each time a trial balance or profit and loss account is run
Z_UpdateChartDetailsBFwd.php - Utility to recalculate the ChartDetails table B/Fwd balances - extreme care!!
Why the "extreme care" on Z_UpdateChartDetailsBFwd.php script?
