2) sounds like a good improvement to me

I would like to introduce the following changes to the entity definitions of
AcctgTrans and AcctgTransEntry:
1) move the field AcctgTransEntry.currencyUomId to AcctgTrans.currencyUomId (but keeping the AcctgTransEntry.origCurrencyUomId as
is now)
2) add the new field AcctgTrans.totalAmount: for a valid transaction the field (its absolute value) will have to match with
absolute value of the sum of all credits (or debits); before a transaction it is posted, the system will check that
AcctgTrans.totalAmount = sum of all credits (AcctgTransEntry) = sum of all debits (AcctgTransEntry)
Main reasons for this:
a) since the records in AcctgTrans actually represents the lines of a Journal, it makes sense to have in them all the fields
required by journals (type/description of the transaction, date and amount)
b) the user workflow will be improved: when the AcctgTrans is created (before the entries) the user already know the amount to be
posted (and split into the different Ledgers)
What do you think?
Jacopo
