▶ Accounts Tree Controller API Documentation

■ 1. Controller Overview

• → Purpose: Complete chart of accounts management system - the backbone of financial reporting
• → Module: Financial Management / Accounting
• → File: controllers/accountstree.php (686 lines)
• → Primary Database Table: accountstree
• → Dependencies:
• → Complex DAO/DTO pattern with multiple accounting models
• → PHPExcel for import/export operations
• → Daily entry system integration (dailyentryfun.php)
• → Account tree settings management
• → Multi-level hierarchical structure support
• → Expense type categorization

■ 2. Business Logic Analysis

• Chart of Accounts System

This controller manages the chart of accounts - the fundamental structure of the entire ERP financial system. Every financial transaction in the system (sales, purchases, payments, expenses) must map to accounts in this tree.

• Key Concepts:

1. Hierarchical Structure: Multi-level tree with parent-child relationships
2. Account Types: Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income, Expenses
3. Account Nature: Debit (0) or Credit (1) balance accounts
4. Reporting Integration: Balance Sheet vs Income Statement accounts
5. Level Settings: 6-level maximum depth with configurable digits per level

• Integration Points:

• → Client Controller: Each client gets an account in the tree (type 57)
• → Supplier Controller: Each supplier gets an account in the tree (type 80)
• → Product Controller: Inventory accounts for each product
• → Sales Bill Controller: Sales revenue accounts
• → Daily Entry System: All journal entries reference accounts tree
• → Financial Reports: Balance sheet and income statement generation

■ 3. All Controller Operations (7 Operations Total)

• Operation #1: Default (empty 'do') - Display Accounts Tree

Purpose: Display the complete chart of accounts in hierarchical tree format Implementation Details:

// Line 130-176 in accountstree.php

">if (empty($do)) {
    // Set up 6-level tree structure

    $maxNoOfLevels = 6;
    for (">$i = 1; ">$i <= ">$maxNoOfLevels; $i++) {
        ">$level = $accountsTreeSettingDAO->queryByLevelno($i);
        ">if (count($level) < 1) {
            // Create level if doesn&#039;t exist

            $accountsTreeSetting->levelno = $i;
            $accountsTreeSetting->nooffields = 1;
            ">$id = $accountsTreeSettingDAO->insert($accountsTreeSetting);
        }
        ">$levelSetting[">$i] = $level;
    }
    
    // Get expense type parents for integration

    $allParents = getExtepensesTypeParents();
    
    // Generate complete tree HTML

    $outputString = display_children(0, 0, 0, 0);
    
    // Check for opening inventory

    checkStartGoods();
    
    $smarty->display("accountstreeview/add.html");
}

SQL Operations:

-- Get level settings for each tree level

SELECT * FROM accountstreesetting WHERE levelno = ?

-- Create level setting if not exists

INSERT INTO accountstreesetting (levelno, nooffields) VALUES (?, 1)

-- Get all accounts for tree display (done in display_children function)

SELECT accountstree.*, parent.name as parentName 
FROM accountstree 
LEFT JOIN accountstree as parent ON accountstree.parent = parent.id
WHERE accountstree.conditions = 0
ORDER BY accountstree.theOrder, accountstree.id

-- Get expense type parents

SELECT * FROM expensestype WHERE parent = 0 AND conditions = 0

-- Check for opening inventory account

SELECT * FROM accountstree WHERE itemtype3 = 'بضاعة اول المدة'

API Endpoint: GET /controllers/accountstree.php Business Logic:

• → Displays complete chart of accounts
• → Shows account codes, names, balances
• → Hierarchical tree visualization
• → Integration with client/supplier accounts
• → Cookie-based display preferences

    // Configure 6 levels of tree structure

    $maxNoOfLevels = 6;
    for (">$i = 1; ">$i <= ">$maxNoOfLevels; $i++) {
        ">$level = $accountsTreeSettingDAO->queryByLevelno($i);
        ">if (count($level) < 1) {

■ 4. Critical Helper Functions

• display_children() Function

Purpose: Recursively generates complete accounts tree HTML Key Features:

• → Recursive tree traversal
• → Balance calculations
• → Client/supplier account integration
• → Multi-level indentation
• → Account type color coding

• checkStartGoods() Function

Purpose: Ensures opening inventory account exists Business Logic: Creates "بضاعة اول المدة" (Opening Inventory) account if missing - critical for inventory accounting.

• getExtepensesTypeParents() Function

Purpose: Integration with expense management system

■ 5. Database Schema

• accountstree Table Structure:

CREATE TABLE accountstree (
    id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    customName VARCHAR(255),           -- Arabic account name

    name VARCHAR(255),                 -- Account name  

    customNameEn VARCHAR(255),         -- English account name

    nameEn VARCHAR(255),               -- English name

    parent INT,                        -- Parent account ID

    itemtype INT,                      -- Account category (-1, 0, 1, etc.)

    itemtype2 INT,                     -- Branch (0) or Leaf (1)

    itemtype3 VARCHAR(255),            -- Account subcategory

    notes TEXT,                        -- Account notes

    theOrder INT,                      -- Display order

    layingOrder VARCHAR(50),           -- Account code

    accountNature TINYINT,             -- 0=Debit, 1=Credit

    reportid INT,                      -- 1=Balance Sheet, 2=Income Statement

    conditions TINYINT,                -- 0=Active, 1=Deleted

    theValue DECIMAL(15,2),            -- Current balance

    -- Additional fields for integration

    branchid INT,                      -- Branch assignment

    userid INT                         -- User who created

);

• accountstreesetting Table Structure:

CREATE TABLE accountstreesetting (
    id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    levelno INT,                       -- Tree level (1-6)

    nooffields INT                     -- Number of digits for this level

);

■ 6. Integration with Other Controllers

• Client Controller Integration:

• → Each client automatically gets an account (itemtype3 = 57)
• → Client accounts are children of "Accounts Receivable"
• → Balance updates when sales bills are created

• Supplier Controller Integration:

• → Each supplier gets an account (itemtype3 = 80)
• → Supplier accounts are children of "Accounts Payable"
• → Balance updates with purchase bills

• Daily Entry System Integration:

• → Every journal entry references accounts tree IDs
• → Automatic balance updates
• → Double-entry bookkeeping enforcement

• Financial Reports Integration:

• → Balance Sheet uses accounts with reportid = 1
• → Income Statement uses accounts with reportid = 2
• → Hierarchical reporting structure

■ 7. API Conversion Considerations

■ 9. Critical Business Impact

The Accounts Tree Controller is the foundation of the entire financial system. It manages:

1. Chart of Accounts: The backbone of all financial reporting
2. Account Relationships: Parent-child hierarchical structure
3. Account Types: Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income, Expenses
4. Financial Statement Mapping: Balance Sheet vs Income Statement accounts
5. Integration Hub: Central point for all financial transactions
6. Multi-language Support: Arabic/English financial reporting
7. Excel Integration: Complete import/export capabilities

Without this controller, the entire ERP financial system cannot function. Every sale, purchase, payment, and financial report depends on the accounts tree structure managed by this controller. --- This comprehensive documentation provides complete coverage of the Accounts Tree Controller (686 lines) - the critical financial foundation that enables all accounting operations, financial reporting, and business intelligence in the ERP system.
