module Plutus # The Account class represents accounts in the system. Each account must be subclassed as one of the following types: # # TYPE | NORMAL BALANCE | DESCRIPTION # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Asset | Debit | Resources owned by the Business Entity # Liability | Credit | Debts owed to outsiders # Equity | Credit | Owners rights to the Assets # Revenue | Credit | Increases in owners equity # Expense | Debit | Assets or services consumed in the generation of revenue # # Each account can also be marked as a "Contra Account". A contra account will have it's # normal balance swapped. For example, to remove equity, a "Drawing" account may be created # as a contra equity account as follows: # # Plutus::Equity.create(:name => "Drawing", contra => true) # # At all times the balance of all accounts should conform to the "accounting equation" # Plutus::Assets = Liabilties + Owner's Equity # # Each sublclass account acts as it's own ledger. See the individual subclasses for a # description. # # @abstract # An account must be a subclass to be saved to the database. The Account class # has a singleton method {trial_balance} to calculate the balance on all Accounts. # # @see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting_equation Accounting Equation # @see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debits_and_credits Debits, Credits, and Contra Accounts # # @author Michael Bulat class Account < ActiveRecord::Base class_attribute :normal_credit_balance has_many :credit_amounts, :extend => AmountsExtension, :class_name => 'Plutus::CreditAmount' has_many :debit_amounts, :extend => AmountsExtension, :class_name => 'Plutus::DebitAmount' has_many :credit_entries, :through => :credit_amounts, :source => :entry, :class_name => 'Plutus::Entry' has_many :debit_entries, :through => :debit_amounts, :source => :entry, :class_name => 'Plutus::Entry' validates_presence_of :type if Plutus.enable_tenancy include Plutus::Tenancy else include Plutus::NoTenancy end # The balance of the account.
