Project Build Screen Change and New Items in Purchases Screen

The manufacturing process of the air purifiers I am planning to manufacture and sell has changed from merely laser cutting the parts to have it 3d printed/cnc'd and still will be using laser cutting services for internal parts. In the future, I am planning to use 3d printer and a low cost cnc with laser cutter so I changed the project build screen to enable me to choose which machine to use in the manufacturing process. I also plan to include ionizers and ultra violet C in the air purification process as these devices really helps in eliminating bacteria and viruses in the air and also odors and plan to import 4 stage filters instead of using those low cost filters that are readily available in popular hardware stores.

So here are the new screens:

1) The Build Screen:


2) The Purchases Screen:


I am planning to add equipment maintenance screen(not a data entry screen) which is basically a scheduling software that can track the status of the equipment whether it is active/inactive/under maintenance and other useful information.

Two More Screens Added

I have added 2 new screens to my growing Accounting Software Project. These are the fixed assets data entry screen and the Journal Entry screen.

I have added the fixed asset screen not just to create and display the list of assets but it also displays the current book value. I will be using straight line depreciation methods. It will also display the dates and depreciation amounts deducted so far.

  While I was designing the Fixed Assets screen, I came to realize that there are a lot of journal entries needed to entered manually like for example the unplanned depreciation expense. So I created a Journal Entry Screen for this purpose:

I also observed that having a command line is such a standard in many softwares like SAP, AutoCAD, and Sketchup. So I decided to add a command line into the main screen(highlighted in yellow at the bottom:

Project Menu was Added!

The company I am trying to setup not only sells air purifiers but it assembles/manufactures and designs the products as well. I already determined the materials needed and the quantities required to make 1 unit. So I needed to track the manufacturing activities from purchasing to the building itself.

So upon creation of the project, I can enter the planned number of units to be assembled so that I will know how much I would spend for the project and know immediately whether there is enough cash and the how long would it take. This is useful because in my Chart of Accounts, I have GL codes for Available Merchandise for finish goods and work in progress.

Here is the new screen:


I added 1 field in the Purchase Transaction Screen(Project Number):

The Bill of Materials Screen:


And the project builder screen:

My Accounting Software Project

This blog is about the progress of my Accounting Software project. I am trying to put up a small business and before registering the company to BIR, the accounting software should be ready because I am aiming to use Computerized of Books of Accounts. The software must be presented to BIR for approval.

I ma thinking of a very basic Accounting Software for single proprietor. I will be basing the development using the book "Fundamentals of Basic Accounting" by Leonardo Aliling and planning to get another book.

Initially the splash screen:

The Main Screen:

The Sales Transaction Screen:


I would be selling 3 products only.

Here is the Purchase Transactions screen:


And the expenses screen:


Still on the conceptualization stage, so a lot of changes might occur in the coming days.
