Cheque Printing

[Rupert]

I want to pick on a thread in the forums about Cheque Printing.

http://www.turbocashuk.com/Forums/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=734&s=616c63f8a603598bef0cb0454fcd24a9

This a function to consider for a future version of TurboCash which
should include the following:

- The option to print cheques in the payments batch

- Option to print a cheque or range of cheques after the
batch has been posted

- Using Reportman to configure cheque printing

While cheques may be going out of fashion in some countries they are
still alive and kicking in developing countries / emerging markets. A
couple of months ago I was talking to one of the top secondary schools
in Paraguay about TurboCash and the fact the TurboCash did not provide
a means of cheque printing was a negative factor.

Also cheque printing is a function that is available in Quickbooks and
even the basic version of Pastel

That would be a really goo plugin for you to begin. It is not huge and
shoudl be manageble.

Are you familiar with Delphi?

I wish I could but I am a humble accountant / consultant (!) not a
programmer.

For the next version it would be worth considering "cheque printing" as
a subproject.

Even humble accountants have a role to play in the project. We use them to
raise money to pay the developers.

Development is not a random process. Its moves in the direction of the
finance (like the world).

I deal with this question in detail in the TurboCASHZone Group

http://groups.google.com/group/TurboCASHZone?lnk=li

You still haven't told me WHAT YOU WANT to do here. Once I know that I will
be better placed to get you moving in the right direction.

Rodney (and anyone else that can contribute) I really could use your
help here on definning the future of TurboCASH. I really have the feeling
that we started in a Garage and now things are getting out of hand. It is
growing faster as a project than we have structure to handle it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Development on TurboCASH is hellishly expensive - Even the smallest
changes require programmers, version updates, testing redocumentation ....


Read this link on Who pays for TurboCASH Development


I currently spend around R 50 000 per month on TurboCASH development.
This does not include the larger voluntary stuff that people like yourself
do. This gives a bug fix rate of about 5 per month or R 10 000 per Bug! A
good Delphi Programmer is worth anywhere between R 30 and R 80 K per month.
So I keep having to face down the problem that the developers keep taking
jobs at these rates that move them off the key direction that I need them to
follow.


The problem comes in that even for the smallest features we can't get
a single user to pay anywhere near the cost of development. Currently we
simply work at the things that most people want. I am trying to figure a way
around this - something like this:


every development request costs say R 500. Users can contribute to the
fixing. Developers can offer to do it and take the amount on offer whenever
they want to do it. So essentially users get together and collectively pay
for the development. That way they all participate and the developers get
the right amount required. If a develoepr accepts the bid I manage him doing
the project. When he has finnished I pay him. If the project never gets done
for lack of user support, I put a credit against the users purchase account
in the Shop. What do you think?

I do agree on the idea of the T Account viewer . Right now my
CORE resources are going at making version 3.74 with the list of things that
we have to date. I don't want to start anything new until that is completed.


These are possible approaches:


1) To separate it out as a separate plugin;


2) To write it using the Reportman add on.


3) Wait until I get around to the bidding idea or it makes it to
the top of the developement list.


I think that you should get Chis involved with either Option.
