Summary0020327: API Change in FACT_ACCT.FACTACCTTYPE
DescriptionChange:

The definition of FACT_ACCT.FACTACCTTYPE is as of today as yes/no reference in the AD and a char of 1 in the database. But this is wrong, and has generated some issues.
It should be defined as a list reference in the AD and as a varchar of 60 in the database.

Why the change is needed:

Right now through DAL, since it is a yes/no reference, only 'Y' or 'N' values can be inserted or retrieved. But it was expected that other values were possible to be inserted, so it has generated some issues that, in the end, can result in an incorrect accounting balance.

Possible risks:

Since the description of the database is going to change, we already know that some views that are retrieving information from this table must be changed. We also know that the module 'https://code.openbravo.com/erp/pmods/org.openbravo.acctTab/' [^] has plenty of views that must be changed.
All the modules that were using DAL to retrieve information will be affected too, but since it was not working properly to begin with, we assume that the risk taken is not that huge.
Steps To ReproduceLogin as Openbravo/openbravo
Change the rol to System Administrator.
Go to Tables and Columns.
Select the row with the DB Table Name: Fact_Acct
Go the Column Tab.
Select the row with the DB Table Name: FactAcctType
Realize that the Reference is defined as YesNo
Proposed SolutionChange the AD definition to a list reference.
Change the Database definition to varchar of 60.
Change the AD definition of the views that are affected and belong to core.
Raise an issue to change the AD definitions of the views present in the accounting tab module.

Before moving forward lets validate -querying the central repository- that there are no modules affected.

We have done two more tests:

First we checked in some clients whether they have different values from what was expected inserted for this column in their database. They did not.

Secondly, we checked the Centra Repository to find if there was any module that uses DAL to call the previous method, because it would be affected and there would be problems compiling. But we found no one.

So we can say that this change won't break any module and it is unlikely to find a client with different data in their database.
