Question regarding 2 of the global configuration settings
Hi all,
One of our GCI students, Justin, was working on a small task to update the
tooltips for the global configurations
For two of the values there are no relevant descriptions in neither our API
docs nor or user documentation.
I too don't really understand the context behind each setting:
office-opening-balances-contra-account: For this I can only find a
completed task to actually move this out of the global config settings:
https://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOSX-1832
organisation-start-date: I don't know what this refers to - my only
assumption is that if enabled you can have an organization start date - not
sure where this would be captured as it's not documented anywhere.

Thanks Santosh. We completely missed those in searching of documentation
and Google searches.

Hi Ed and Justin,
The user documentation for Global Configuration is provided in the
following link:
https://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/display/docs/Global+Configuration
1. organization-start-date
Meaning given in above link*:* On enabling and providing organization start
date, all the calculations will effect from this date. It's recommended to
enable this entity if you want to use accounting module. You could set the
start date from the database under table "c_configuration" and provide
start date under date value row.
Explanation: Consider an organization is moving from different platform to
Mifos Platform. All the accruals in the previous platform should not be
affected and new accruals should start get generating in new mifos
platform. But from what date? That is the 'organization-start-date' set in
the database (c_configuration table) so that new accruals start taking
effect. The 'organization-start-date' is not given in UI because someone
may unknowingly change it which would adversely effect the accruals.
2. office-opening-balances-contra-account
Meaning given in above link: Enabling this helps in setting up opening GL
balances for a given organisation.
