Append a `` to `data/01_account_account.xml` using the next free 4-digit code in the relevant range. 2. Deploy + `-u` (see Install/Update above). 3. Verify: `psql -d nexamain -c "SELECT code, name FROM ... WHERE code = 'NNNN';"` ### Add a new product For ad-hoc / per-customer items, just create via UI: - Sales > Products > New → set name, price, **Product Category** (this drives the income account). - The fiscal position auto-applies tax when invoicing. For new standard catalog items, append to `data/11_products.xml` (uses `noupdate=1` so a re-install won't overwrite UI edits). ### Add a new analytic account (project, department, SR&ED tag) Projects are dynamic — create via UI: - Accounting > Configuration > Analytic Accounting > Analytic Accounts > New - Code: `PRJ-{YYYY}-{CUST}-{SHORTNAME}` (e.g. `PRJ-2026-WESTIN-ERP-PHASE2`) - Plan: **Customer Project** For departments or new SR&ED tags, edit `data/06_account_analytic_account.xml` + deploy + `-u`. ### Set the fiscal year lock Accounting > Configuration > Settings > Lock Dates > set `Lock Date` to Dec 31 of the prior fiscal year. Requires: - All bank statement lines for the period reconciled / cleared / deleted - Final accountant adjustments posted The `post_init_hook` attempts this automatically at install but tolerates failure (logs a warning instead) — set it manually once the books are clean. ### Reclassify a wrongly-categorized historical invoice line Two ways: - **In place (no PDF change)**: SQL `UPDATE account_move_line SET account_id = WHERE id = ;`. Used in `scripts/fix_invoice_1127.py` and `scripts/reclass_historical_411000.py` as references. - **Proper way (audit-trail clean)**: Reset invoice to draft, edit, re-post. Requires admin permissions + un-reconciling any payment first. ### Pull SR&ED data at year-end ```sql -- Eligible salaries summary SELECT aa.code, aa.name, ROUND(SUM(aml.debit - aml.credit)::numeric, 2) AS amount FROM account_move_line aml JOIN account_analytic_line aal ON aal.move_line_id = aml.id JOIN account_analytic_account aa ON aa.id = aal.account_id JOIN account_analytic_plan ap ON ap.id = aa.plan_id WHERE ap.name = 'SR&ED Tag' AND aml.date BETWEEN '2026-01-01' AND '2026-12-31' AND aa.code <> 'NOT-ELIGIBLE' GROUP BY aa.code, aa.name ORDER BY aa.code; ``` Plus pull eligible contractor invoices: customer = Nexa, vendor in Canada (arm's length), tagged `SRED-CONTRACTOR-CA-ARM-LENGTH`. --- ## Compliance flags (do not forget) - **Associated corporations**: Westin Healthcare Inc + Divine Mobility Inc share Nexa's $500k SBD limit and $3M SR&ED expenditure limit. **Annual Schedule 23 filing** allocates these across the group. - **Subsection 15(2)**: Shareholder loans outstanding > 1 year past fiscal year-end become **taxable to Gurpreet personally**. Track 2510 (short-term) vs 2520 (long-term commercial loan). - **Transfer pricing (s.247)**: Nexa invoicing Westin / Divine must be at fair market value. Document the methodology; penalty is 10% of any adjustment. - **GST/HST cadence**: currently annual. Once Nexa-only revenue clears **$1.5M**, CRA auto-moves you to quarterly filing. - **QC QST registration**: required if Nexa has any QC customers and revenue > $30k. Separate from federal CRA registration. - **Quick Method GST/HST**: **likely unavailable** — the $400k threshold is checked against the associated-group total (Nexa + Westin + Divine combined). - **Specified employee SR&ED cap**: Gurpreet's SR&ED-eligible salary is capped at 75% of basic salary (no bonuses), and only counts if paid via T4 payroll. --- ## Implementation scripts (one-shot, idempotent) All under `scripts/` — preserved for audit reference; not run by the module itself. Already executed against prod. | Script | What it did | |---|---| | `fix_gl_codes.py` | Renumbered 119100/119900 → 115200/115900 and 511105 → 511100 | | `convert_to_4digit.py` | Renumbered 128 Nexa accounts from 6-digit l10n_ca style to clean 4-digit | | `convert_l10nca_to_4digit.py` | Renumbered 12 retained l10n_ca legacy accounts (Bank/AR/AP/HST) to 4-digit | | `fix_invoice_1127.py` | Reclassified Entech invoice 1127's 17 lines + reassigned 14 product templates to proper categories | | `reclass_historical_411000.py` | Batch-reclassified 200 historical invoice lines from legacy 411000 by keyword rules | | `test_invoices.py` | End-to-end invoice tests (ON HST, US zero-rated, QC GST+QST, intercompany) | --- ## Open items (manual follow-ups) - [ ] Set fiscal year lock at 2025-12-31 once unreconciled bank statement lines are cleared - [ ] Verify HST# format display on customer invoice PDFs (stored as `741224877RT0001`; some Canadian accountants prefer `741224877 RT0001` with space — change via UI if needed) - [ ] When first T4 employee is hired: configure payroll (Wagepoint / ADP / Odoo Payroll), set up source deduction journal automation, decide on payroll cadence - [ ] When first USD invoice arrives: add USD bank account (1020 reserved), enable currency_rate_live cron, configure multi-currency on company - [ ] When asset count grows: install custom CCA module OR keep maintaining CCA schedule via accountant's spreadsheet
