INERITS

       LedgerSMB::DBObject

METHODS

       save()
	   This method saves the chart of accounts entry.

	   The hash component of the object may contain an id attribute, used to overwrite an account if that one exists.

METHODS

       LedgerSMB::DBObject::Payment->new()
	   Inherited from LedgerSMB::DBObject.	Please see that documnetation for details.

       $payment->get_open_accounts()
	   This function returns a list of open accounts depending on the $payment->{account_class} property.  If this property is 1, it returns a
	   list of vendor accounts, for 2, a list of customer accounts are returned.

	   The returned list of hashrefs is stored in the $payment->{accounts} property.  Each hashref has the following keys:	id (entity id),
	   name, and entity_class.

	   An account is considered open if there are outstanding, unpaid invoices attached to it.  Customer/vendor payment threshold is not
	   considered for this calculation.

       text_amount($value)
	   Returns the textual representation, as defined in localization rules, for the numeric value passed.

       get_metadata()
	   Semi-private method for preparing the object for other tasks, such as displaying payment options.

       search()
	   Seturns a series of payments matching the search criteria.

	   Search results are also stored at $payment->{search_results}.

       get_open_accounts()
	   Returns a list of open accounts for the payment operation.

	   These are also stored on $payment->{accounts}

       $payment->get_entity_credit_account()
	   Returns billing information for the current account, and saves it to an arrayref at $payment->{entity_accounts}/

       $payment->get_all_accounts()
	   This function returns a list of open or closed accounts depending on the $payment->{account_class} property.  If this property is 1, it
	   returns a list of vendor accounts, for 2, a list of customer accounts are returned.

	   The returned list of hashrefs is stored in the $payment->{accounts} property.  Each hashref has the following keys:	id (entity id),
	   name, and entity_class.

       $payment->reverse()
	   This function reverses a payment.  A payment is defined as one source ($payment->{source}) to one cash account ($payment->{cash_accno})
	   to one date ($payment->{date_paid}) to one vendor/customer ($payment->{credit_id}, $payment->{account_class}).  This reverses the
	   entries with that source.

       $payment->get_open_invoices()
	   This function returns a list of open invoices depending on the $payment->{account_class}, $payment->{entity_id}, and $payment->{curr}
	   properties.	Account classes follow the conventions above.  This list is hence specific to a customer or vendor and currency as well.

	   The returned list of hashrefs is stored in the $payment->{open_invoices} property. Each hashref has the following keys:  id (entity
	   id), name, and entity_class.

       $payment->get_open_invoice()
	   This function is an especific case of get_open_invoices(), because get_open_invoice() can search for a specific invoice, wich can be
	   searched by the $payment->{invnumber} variable

       $payment->get_all_contact_invoices()
	   This function returns a list of open accounts depending on the $payment->{account_class} property.  If this property is 1, it returns a
	   list of vendor accounts, for 2, a list of customer accounts are returned.  Attached to each account is a list of open invoices.  The
	   data structure is somewhat complex.

	   Each item in the list has the following keys: contact_id, contact_name,  account_number, total_due, and invoices.

	   The invoices entry is a reference to an array of hashrefs.  Each of these hashrefs has the following keys: invoice_id, invnumber,
	   invoice_date, amount, discount, and due.

	   These are filtered based on the (required) properties: $payment->{account_class}, $payment->{business_type}, $payment->{date_from},
	   $payment->{date_to}, and $payment->{ar_ap_accno}.

	   The $payment->{ar_ap_accno} property is used to filter out by AR or AP account.

	   The following can also be optionally passed: $payment->{batch_id}.  If this is patched, vouchers in the current batch will be picked up
	   as well.

	   The returned list of hashrefs is stored in the $payment->{contact} property.  Each hashref has the following keys:  id (entity id),
	   name, and entity_class.

       list_open_projects
	   This method gets the current date attribute, and provides a list of open projects.  The list is attached to $self->{projects} and
	   returned.

       list_departments
	   This method gets the type of document as a parameter, and provides a list of departments of the required type.  The list is attached to
	   $self->{departments} and returned.

       list_open_vc
	   This method gets the type of vc (vendor or customer) as a parameter, and provides a list of departments of the required type.  The list
	   is attached to $self->{departments} and returned.

       get_open_currencies
	   This method gets a list of the open currencies inside the database, it requires that $self->{account_class} (must be 1 or 2)  exist to
	   work.

	   WARNING THIS IS NOT BEEING USED BY THE SINGLE PAYMENT SYSTEM....

       list_accounting
	   This method lists all accounts that match the role specified in account_class property and are available to store the payment or
	   receipts.  =back

       list_overpayment_accounting
	   This method lists all accounts that match the role specified in account_class property and are available to store an overpayment /
	   advanced payment / pre-payment.  =back

       get_sources
	   This method builds all the possible sources of money, in the future it will look inside the DB.  =back

       get_exchange_rate(currency, date)
	   This method gets the exchange rate for the specified currency and date

       get_default_currency
	   This method gets the default currency =back

       get_current_date
	   This method returns the system's current date

       get_vc_info
	   This method returns the contact informatino for a customer or vendor according to $self->{account_class}

       get_payment_detail_data
	   This method sets appropriate project, department, etc. fields.

       post_bulk
	   This function posts the payments in bulk.  Note that queue_payments is not a common setting and rather this provides a hook for an add-
	   on.

	   This API was developed early in 1.3 and is likely to change for better encapsulation.  Currenty it uses the following structure:

	   Within the main hashref:

	   contact_count
	       The number of payments.	One per contact.

	   contact_$row
	       for (1 .. contact_count), contact_$_ is the entity credit account's id associated with the current contact.  We will call this
	       $contact_id below.

	       For each contact id, we have the following, suffixed with _$contact_id:

	       source
	       invoice_count
		   Number of invoices to loop through

	       invoice_${contact_id}_$row
		   for $row in (1 .. invoice_count), each this provides the transaction id of the invoice.

	       Each invoice has the following attributes, suffxed with ${invoice_id}

	       amount
	       paid
	       net

	   In the future the payment posting API will become more standardized and the conversion between flat and hierarchical representation
	   will be moved to the workflow scripts.

       check_job
	   To be moved into payment_queue addon.

       post_payment
	   This method uses payment_post to store a payment (not a bulk payment) on the database.

       gather_printable_info
	   This method retrieves all the payment related info needed to build a document and print it. IT IS NECESSARY TO ALREADY HAVE payment_id
	   on $self

       get_open_overpayment_entities
	   This method retrieves all the entities with the specified account_class which have unused overpayments

       get_unused_overpayments
	   This is a simple wrapper around payment_get_unused_overpayments sql function.

       get_available_overpayment_amount
	   Simple wrapper around payment_get_available_overpayment_amount sql function.

       init
	   Initializes the num2text system

       num2text
	   Translates numbers into words.
