Technical Description

Currently, several FP eDocs have a Line Description field on each accounting line. The Distribution of Income and Expense document (DI) doesn't have a Line Description on the accounting lines. This needs to be added.

Details

• Database Requirements
  1. None; field already exists.
• UI Design
  1. "Line Description" field on each accounting line in a DI.
• Development Checklist
  1. Update data dictionary.
     • Create new data dictionary file for the document (DistributionOfIncomeAndExpenseDocument.xml). Copy the original file and modify to include new attribute.
     • Redefine importedLineParserClass.

Development Steps Completed

1. Updated data dictionary.
   • Modified the data dictionary file for the document (DistributionOfIncomeAndExpenseDocument.xml).
     • Had to define a new bean for accounting lines that included the existing properties and the "Line Description".

     • Had to import a new accounting line parser to read in line description.
