Load Balancer

Introduction

Load Balancer is an element of the K2 architecture that can be used to distribute the load among multiple application servers. The K2 API thus has the ability to connect to multiple application servers simultaneously. When sending a request, the least busy server is evaluated first and it receives the request for processing.

Picture: Load Balancer and K2 API

Example of using Load Balancer and K2 API:

The K2 API receives the request for processing. Load Balancer is addressed for the fastest request processing. The Load Balancer sends a request to all ASs and finds out their current load. It evaluates the least busy server and passes this information to the K2 API. The K2 API thus sends the request directly via the selected application server to the Load Balancer.

LoadBalancer can also be used for web K2, which when the user logs on, finds the most suitable application server and connects the user to it.

Picture: Load Balancer and Web K2

Example of using Load Balancer and Web K2:

Web K2 accepts the user's login request. The web K2 Load Balancer will contact the request to process the request as quickly as possible. The Load Balancer sends a request to all AS and finds out their current load. Web K2 passes the information on the least busy server. Web K2 will use the best evaluated server and thus the fastest processing of the user's login request will take place. Every other request of a given user is already processed by a specific selected AS.

Each K2 API and K2 web installation has its own Load Balancer. In the installation, you can set a specific list of application servers and the configuration of the Load Balancer, which can affect the algorithm for selecting a suitable application server.

Load Balancer evaluates the most suitable application server for request processing in two modes:

1. Loading and evaluating the best AS before each connection request (preLoadingEnabled = false)
   • Before each request to create a connection, the application servers are bypassed with a request for their statistics, which are processed and evaluated. The most appropriate AS is then used for the given request.
2. Load and evaluate the best AS continuously (preLoadingEnabled = true)
   • Statistics are read in the specified time interval and the best AS is evaluated. Each connection request is evaluated based on the calculated result of the statistics.

Load Balancer parameters

• requestTimeout:(default 1s) Each connection request is evaluated based on the calculated result of the statistics. If a connection fails with the AS by this time, or the AS does not respond by this time, the AS will be dropped for this particular  evaluation. Upon the next request, it will be added to the list of possible application servers again.
• validTimeout: (default 0 u preLoadingEnabled = false, 1000- preLoadingEnabled = true) - the time for which the detected statistics and thus the best AS are valid.
• maxHistoryCount:(default 0) - number of records in history. If the number is 0, the history is not recorded. It is used only for debugging the optimal setting of parameters, when we can look into the history of the distribution of requests and adjust the parameters accordingly.
• preLoadingEnabled:(default false) - enable / disable mode with continuous loading of statistics. If set to true, then  validTimeout means the time interval in which the statistics are updated.
• The appServers section defines the application servers that will be used by the Load Balancer. The default is the one used in the K2 API / K2 Web configuration
  • Ex. for K2 API (Web K2 is similar only, configuration is done in JSON) "<add server =". "pipe =" ScriptService "/>”
  • server: IP or PC name
  • pipe: pipe AS name
• the multiplier section is used to set the weight of individual statistics and thus to  influence the calculation algorithm
  • Ex. for K2 API (Web K2 is similar only, configuration is done in JSON) <add uid="bscSystemCPUAvg" value="1"/>"
  • uid: statistic identifier

    bscSystemCPUAvg - average CPU usage over time

    bscSystemFreeMemory - currently free operation memory

    bscAppPoolSpandAvg - average waiting time for the K2 AS request before it is serviced

    bscAppNCLSessions - number of connected web K2 users

    bscAppAnonymousSessions - number of anonymous threads for K2 API

    bscAppSchedulerSessions - number of running scheduled tasks

  • value: the value by which the received statistic value will be multiplied by AS. This makes it possible to influence the weight of a given parameter.

    A value of 0 disables the evaluation of this parameter during the calculation.

If in any mode the Load Balancer does not connect with the AS in the required time interval, or the AS does not supply statistics in the specified time, it is excluded from the evaluation for the given AS pass. In the next pass, the Load Balancer will try to connect to the AS again.

Basic Code Lists and Supporting Modules K2

New Legislation code list

New Legislation code list has been created, which can be launched from the tree menu. The list of national legislations is displayed in the Legislation code list.

Clients parameters - Tax type and VAT rate for deducting the non-tax advance were moved to the Legislative code list.

Support for more legislation in K2 IS

In K2 IS, legislation can be assigned to your own company (in the Administration of Own Companies). As of version 2022.01, the assignment of legislation is mandatory (during reinstallation, the legislation will be fulfilled according to the state of the company).

The Legislation field has been added to book settings (sales, purchases, and more). It will be used in the case when within one of our own companies we issue documents according to various legislations (e. g. in the case of registration for a VAT number in other states).

Types of taxes, VAT rates, Customs Tariff and Statutory interest codelists were divided into legislation. When creating documents, only the values valid for the legislation that apply to the book in which the document is created are offered.

In the Customer, Article and other code lists, which contain a link to the above-mentioned code lists, values for individual legislations are entered. E.g. On the Article tabs, you can set the VAT Rate, Customs Tariff and Tax Types (for purchase and sale) for all legislation within which we issue documents. When creating documents, the values according to the legislation of the document are automatically filled in from the Article card.

Changes in Taxes types code list

Code list Taxes types was divided into legislation.

We have added to the code list:

• Can be used on advances check box. The field is checked for the types of taxes that may appear on advances (this field is followed by a check when confirming the advance).
• VAT lines items, in which the lines of the VAT return, in which the type of tax can be entered, are displayed.

We have created a bulk action Change of Legislation.

Import of tax types - new parameters

The script has been renamed to ImportTaxType.PAS.

New parameter:

• Legislation = "CZE" // Legislation

On the Basic data tab, the Other VAT Reg. number function is available, which displays the other VAT Reg. number entered on Suppl./Cust. tab. (You can then choose from other VAT Reg. numbers on the documents).

On the Taxes and Accounting tab, you can edit the Tax Type - Purchase and the Tax Type - Sale, and the VAT check box on the purchase / sale documents according to the legislation.

Changes in Article code list

In the Article code list, it is possible to edit the VAT rate, Customs Tariff, Tax type - sale and Tax type - purchase (including types of taxes for RCS) according to the legislation.

Changes in Cards of cash documents code list

In the code lists of the Cash Document Card and the Bank Document Card, it is possible to edit the Tax Type and the VAT Rate according to the legislation.

Change in Cards of other receivables / payables code list

In the code lists of the Other Receivables Card and the Other Liabilities Card, it is possible to edit the Tax Type and the VAT Rate according to the legislation.

Change in Card for Travel Orders code list

In the code lists Cards - fares and local transport, Cards - lodging expenses and Cards - necessary ancillary expenses, it is possible to edit the VAT rate according to the legislation.

Filter article book by category

Filtering by category in the article book allows you to display items only from the currently selected category or subcategory. It will therefore be easier to administer or find the article card in K2 as well as on the e-shop.

To display the tree of e-shop categories, a new field in the preview of the WEB record is used to display and edit data where it is necessary to enter the online store. The display of the online store is stored on the user. If no online store is selected, the e-shop category tree will not appear in the product book.

Marketing

Bulk change over Partners and Contact persons - Items change

In the universal forms, the bulk Change of items was added to the book of Partners and Contact persons. For marked records or records from the container, this bulk change can be used to set Marketing classification records and, in the case of Partners, also to set Branches.

Sale/Purchase

Advances - check tax type upon confirmation

When confirming advance, it is checked whether the document contains only the types of taxes that may appear on the advance ( Can be used on advances check box is selected on the tax type). If there is another type of tax on the document, the message "There is a type of tax on the document that cannot be used on the advance" is displayed.

Editing documents in Books according to legislation

The Tax Type, VAT Rate and Customs Tariff are now applied to the documents according to the legislation valid for the selected book.

Documents cannot be copied between books from different legislations.

If Statutory interest is enabled on the document, the percentage according to the statutory interest for the document legislation is added.

Date check for VAT self-assessment

When confirming the invoice, advances, OP / OR, cash and internal document, on which the Tax Type with the VAT Self-Assessment flag is switched on, the Acc. transaction date and the Date of Invoice date are checked.

In the case of a bulk confirmation, such documents will not be confirmed, the Acc. transaction date and the date of Invoice date are not identical shall be entered in the error log.

Tax types in the tax recapitulation are checked on the invoice, for other documents Tax type in items.

EKOKOM - log display

If, during the processing of EKO-KOM, article are found for which there is a defined packaging, but due to failure to meet the conditions for the set packaging restrictions (eg setting the packaging only for a specific supplier / customer or address key), these article will not be included in the calculation, then at the end of the calculation, a newly displayed log with a list of such article cards.

EKOKOM - The book Breakdown of packaging into items

In version K2 gaia.05, the table Breakdown of packaging into items was added to the EKOKOM module. This table shows the packaging items of each product from which EKO-KOM is calculated for a given period. Newly created reports and scripts are then run above this table, which can be the basis for audit control. The data in this table can be filtered in the standard way. If the table is to be filled, it is necessary to check the box Record partial values for S / P items when calculating EKOKOM.

The Export data to Excel script (EKOKOM_exportExcel.PAS) was created, which is run from the calculated book Breakdown of packaging into items and which exports grouped packaging items for article cards, units of measure and other similar packaging characteristics to Excel, including unit and total weight for packaging items.

The report (EKOKOM - sale) EKOKOM_Sale.AM then displays an overview of article sold for individual customers. A similar report EKOKOM_Purchase.AM is then specified for article that are reported on the purchase side. Both reports are also run from the Breakdown of packaging into item.

If EKOKOM is reported on the sales side, then the auditors may be required to output the suppliers of article that are reported in EKOKOM. For these cases, the EKOKOM_Suppliers.AM (EKOKOM - Article Suppliers) report has been added, which runs in the Container state on the Article book. The procedure for creating a container of article from the table Breakdown of packages into items is described in the manual for version K2 gaia.05 in a new chapter.

The last report is the EKOKOM - Overview of packaging for article (EKOKOM.AM) report. The report for each item entering EKOKOM displays grouped packaging items with packaging characteristics. This report is also run from the book Breakdown of Packaging into Items.

The original EKOKOM_Purch.AM report has been deleted and moved to the archive and will no longer be supported.

Price lists - new field In sales add gross prices

The field In sales add gross prices has been added to the price list header. If it is checked, then the exact gross amount from the price list will be added to the sale item and the net amount will be calculated over the tax rate. Thus, there is no situation where, due to the conversion to the net price and possible rounding, the total gross amount of the item with extra pennies is displayed.

Price lists - new field Catalog

The Use catalog price lists field has been added to the price list settings. If it is checked, then it is possible to check the Catalog field on the Basic data tab in the price lists. If it is checked, then within the determination of the catalog price (ie the Catalog field in the Prices section on the document item) it first tries to find a valid price list for the article with the Catalog flag. If it is not found, then the price is searched according to the original logic. The price list with the Catalog flag is not taken into account when searching for the selling price.

Discount coupons - possibility to apply more discount coupons for one contract / basket

It is now possible to apply more discount coupons to one order / basket, so it is possible to combine discount coupons, gift vouchers and the use of loyalty program points. In this context, the Gift Voucher option was added to the discount coupons. If the option is checked, the discount coupon will be used as a money order (partial payment).

EDI

A new EDI module has been created, which replaces the original scripts for EDI sales and purchases. Existing scripts for EDI are still supported in the K2 ori version, but will no longer be developed.

The principle of working with the new EDI module is to strive for the greatest possible automation of processes related to the exchange of electronic data. It is a unified management of all documents within EDI (incoming and outgoing), including the ability to resolve any error conditions.

The planned tasks running in the background then implement the actual export and import of messages. However, scheduled tasks are not a condition for successful export or import. These actions can also be performed by the user in the EDI Message Queue book.

The module is also ready for the possibility of special modifications to the processes of export and import of messages using modifications in the script.

The EDI module supports ORDERS (order), ORDRSP (order confirmation), DESADV (sending notification), RECADV (receipt confirmation), INVOIC (invoice) and APERAK (confirmation of receipt of messages) messages.

Logistics

Transport - new environment

Scheduled delivery orders - replaces the Delivery orders schedule, which could always be only one in K2 - this is now a document, which means that it is now possible to create more documents of planned delivery orders in K2. The documents are available in the form of new forms.

Delivery orders - functionality maintained in the environment of new forms, with the user choosing documents across several scheduled delivery orders.

Transport lines - new book Transport lines are used to create regular delivery orders and their definition. The field can then be filled in on a specific delivery. The line is then linked to the Customers code list, where on the Sales page, on the Transport tab, individual lines that serve the given customer can be displayed.

Vehicles - are newly rewritten in the environment of new forms, and a calendar is now available and after defining, the routes of the vehicle can be tracked in the calendar.

Maintenance

Possibilities of creating serviced devices and service tasks

Serviced devices can also be created outside the module of the same name. There are several options and approaches.

In the Article, Resources, Vehicles, and Assets books, new commands are available located in the ribbon on the Function tab in the Maintenance section. Above a specific line, a form can be called up to create a New Serviced Device. It is also possible to create related documents - Service Request and Planned Service Action - but the user must stand on a specific serviced device. The table of connected serviced devices is available in each of the mentioned modules on page 1 - Basic data on the Served devices tab.

The module is ready for inclusion among the serviced devices from sales items. So there is a possibility:

1. Create a new serviced device from the sales item - Orders / Sales Items and there is a context tab in the ribbon called Sales Items. From there, the user can create a New Serviced Device over a specific item. The user will again see a form where he has already filled in all the necessary fields: Abbreviation, Article, Description, Contact information, including Batch, Serial Number, Routing Variants and Supplier. Analytical axes (Center, Order code, etc.) are also transferred to the form.

2. Connect the Serviced Device to the sales item - All you have to do is fill in the Served Device field above the sales item and K2 will add the required information back to the sales item or serviced device. However, it must be the same article card, if the article card is not the same, then K2 will only connect the serviced device to the item sold and will not fill in any fields. If the condition of the same article is met, K2 will transfer the required data to the Serviced Equipment or back to the sales item. This entire action is performed only after saving the order record.

Task Definition Templates book

The book of service definition templates was created for the needs of clearly defined definitions of planned service actions for re-use. It is possible to create many definitions in the book and then easily use them across multiple devices, without the need to fill in the definition form repeatedly. When selecting from the Templates code list, the user is pre-filled with all mandatory fields Definition - Abbreviation, Book, Definition Description, Unit and Time Interval, Unit and Time of Action, or Attribute Set, Number of Repetitions and Action Entry. Therefore, the user only has to fill in the start date in the definition and, if necessary, select the employees who will perform this service operation.

Serviced equipment - Components - tree structure

Components tab offers the option of displaying all items (Components tab) in a tree structure. A new field named Superior Component has been added to the form for adding a new component (including copy and assigment). To be included in the tree, this field must be filled in when inserting the component.

Serviced equipment - Contracts

The contract tab has disappeared, it is now possible to register contracts on the last tab - Attachments. At the bottom of the form is the Contracts tab and all types of contracts can now be added (error correction).

Production

Opening of resources from job cards and manufacturing routings

If the book of Resources is opened as lookup (typically from the Resource field from manufacturing routing or from job card), is the book displayed in simplified format. It brings faster opening of the module. There are no calculated fields (capacities, utilization), the breakdown of capacities and utilization in the preview panel, and some tabs displayed in this simplified format.

Blocking materials with planning job cards

It is possible to block materials already on planning job cards. It means, there can be the release "l" flag on the items. This function can be activated with the Client parameter Block materials with planning job cards. If this parameter is activated, the programm automatically activates another parameter: Consider unconfirmed completion job cards. This parameter insures, that the actual values on planning job cards are updated already from unconfirmed completion job cards.

Planning job cards - actual values from unconfirmed completion job cards

There is the new Client parameter - Consider unconfirmed completion job cards. This parameter insures, that the actual values on planning job cards are updated already from unconfirmed completion job cards.

Finance

Homebanking - new options when exporting a bank order (HB_Order.pas)

The option to export several marked bank orders at once has been added to the HB - Bank order function (HB_Order.pas). The OneFile parameter sets whether only one export file should be created or a separate export file for each selected command.

You can now use the Dashboard Creation Wizard to create dashboards. This is a function that uses a universal form environment and allows you to create dashboards more easily and intuitively. The wizard is used to create dashboards from the very beginning, ie. including its elements (reports).

The function is available in the Dashboard Configuration book and is launched by the Create New Wizard Dashboard button, which is located in the ribbon.

Use the wizard at the beginning to set the layout of the elements within the dashboard.

Subsequently, the individual elements of the dashboard are set up in a clear environment.

The internal VAT self-assessment document is now created according to the parameters of the self-assessment documents, which are set for the document's own company. (So far, the document was created according to the settings of the current own company).

Posting keys – new parameter DISCOUNT for Amount

We have added the parameter "DISCOUNT" for the Amount to the Posting keys for posting invoices - a discount from the net price from invoice items is posted.

Posting keys - new field Post tax type and VAT rate

If checked, the Tax Type and the VAT Rate are posted on the VAT documents, and the Tax Type is posted on the non-VAT documents.

Accounting document - new fields Tax type and VAT rate

We have added the Tax Type and VAT Rate fields to the accounting document item. These fields are filled in automatically when posting invoices, advances, other receivables and payables, bank statements, cash and internal documents if the field Post tax type and VAT rate is checked in the Posting keys header. Tax documents and the VAT rate are posted on documents with VAT, and tax types are posted on documents without VAT.

New parameters for the Import Tax Types script

The script has been renamed to ImportTaxType.PAS.

New script parameters:

• Legislation = "CZE"
• Interactive (boolean) = Yes

After running the script, the input form of the function is displayed, in which the Legislation field (selection from the code list) can now be edited.

The types of taxes are updated, in contrast to the lower versions, the Legislation field is also filled in, the Can be used on advance check box is selected, the VAT Line numbers are imported into the tax type items.

Modernization of the VAT module

We have created a VAT module in universal forms.

VAT books

In version 2022, the Group Member is replaced by a Book, so VAT documents are created in different books just like other documents in K2. The VAT calculation parameters are now set in the VAT Books.

We have added new rights for VAT Books in the Administrator module:

• Viewing VAT books
• VAT book change

In the VAT Book Settings it is possible to edit:

• Company - within one client we can calculate VAT for various entities,
• Legislation - we can choose the legislation of the state according to which VAT will be calculated.
• VAT calculation parameters,
• Setting parameters for the VAT return form.

The currency of the state is displayed in the Legislation.

Only books of primary documents with the same company and legislation as the VAT Book can be entered in the Calculation Parameters.

The parameter of calculation of the Book of Self-Assessment Documents was canceled, the parameter of calculation of Slovak VAT in Czech K2 was canceled and replaced by legislation.

VAT documents

VAT documents are created in the selected Book. The VAT calculation parameters are loaded from the currently set VAT Book.

If Document Books (invoices out and other types of documents) are specified in the calculation parameters, documents from these books are read, otherwise documents from books that have the same Company and Legislation as Company and Legislation in the VAT Book are read. The amounts will be calculated in the currency applicable to the Legislation.

Functions for individual types of VAT returns can be started from the ribbon. The keyboard shortcuts for Additional Return (Shift + F3) and Corrective Additional Return (Shift + F4) have changed.

The relevant line of the VAT return form is now also displayed on the VAT Document on the Custom VAT Items tab.

If the VAT Document is not followed by another VAT document (eg for a proper return, no corrective or additional return is created), then the document can be canceled

Items of VAT documents Book

The new book Items of VAT documents is included in the tree menu: Accounting - VAT - VAT - Items of VAT documents.

The VAT Document (F7) and Primary Document (Ctrl + F7) functions are available in the ribbon.

There is a factory PivotTable Items by tax type and VAT rate.

Update of default values of VAT calculation parameters

In the tree menu, the VATD_Init.PAS script is renamed to Update default values of VAT calculation parameters (originally Fill in default values).

Automatic VAT re-posting

We have created a function for automatic reposting of VAT if the document enters the accounting in one month and the VAT return in another.

In the VAT Posting Settings section, we have added in the VAT Re-posting section:

• check box Automatically re-post VAT applied in another month
• items Account for VAT re-posting applied in another month and Book of internal documents

If automatic VAT re-posting is enabled, when confirming a document that has an Accounting Case Date in a month other than the Invoice Date, 2 internal documents will be created (they are displayed on the Attachments tab in the Internal Documents section.)

• On the first internal document, the balance of the current month is transferred to account 343 as of the Accounting Date of the original document.
• On the second document, as of Invoice Date of the original document, i. e. the date when the invoice enters VAT, the amount of VAT from account 343 balance of the current month is transferred back to the relevant VAT account.

This ensures that in the General Ledger, the amounts of VAT on individual analysts correspond to the amounts in the VAT return and that the amounts not applied in a given month are 343 on the analyst's balance of the month.

Correction of penny balances of matching symbols

We have modified the script Correction of penny balances of matching symbols (MatchSymb_BalanceCorrection.PAS) - the correction will be performed only for matching symbols that do not have movement after the date of correction (Accounting transaction date from the input form).

Balance sheet checks

We've added the following checks to the Balance Sheet (UCT_EA_Balance.PAS) and Shortened Balance Sheet (UCT_EA_BalanceS.PAS) scripts:

• If the total assets and liabilities do not match, the message "Total assets and liabilities in the current period are not the same" or "Total assets and liabilities in the previous period are not the same" is displayed.
• If the Economic result of the current period in liabilities does not match the Economic result of the profit and loss, the message "Economic result of the current period in liabilities does not match the result in the analysis of the income statement." If the SetPastPeriod parameter is set to "No" in the Balance sheet script (i. e. the current and previous period are entered in the input form), the economic result is also checked for the previous period.

In connection with the control of the economic result, we added parameters to the scripts:

• ProfitLossStatement - abbreviation of the analysis, in which it is checked whether the economic result is identical with the economic result in liabilities. The income statement line specified in the ProfitLossStatementProfitLossRow parameter is compared with the line in liabilities specified in the LiabilitiesProfitLossRow parameter.
• ProfitLossStatementProfitLossRow - designation of the line Econimit result in the Profit and Loss Statement.
• LiabilitiesProfitLossRow - Designation of the line Economic result in Liabilities.

Default parameter values in the Balance Sheet script:

• ProfitLossStatement = Výsledovka,
• ProfitLossStatementProfitLossRow = 55,
• LiabilitiesProfitLossRow = 98.

Default values of parameters in the Balance Sheet script in an abbreviated range:

• ProfitLossStatement = Výsledovka Z,
• ProfitLossStatementProfitLossRow = 25,
• LiabilitiesProfitLossRow = 21.

• OSS VAT return - EU scheme (OSS_VatReturn_EUScheme.PAS),
• OSS VAT return - Import scheme (OSS_VatReturn_ImportScheme.PAS),
• OSS VAT return - Non-EU scheme (OSS_VatReturn_NonEUScheme.PAS).

The scripts can be run from the tree menu: Accounting - VAT - One Stop Shop.

OSS - Creation of an Internal Document for a domestic VAT return

We have created a new script Creating an Internal Document for the domestic VAT return (OSS_CreateInternalDocument.PAS).

The net document amounts from all OSS (One Stop Shop) regimes in the currency of the company's own company, which have Invoice Date in the period for which it is obliged to pay domestic VAT, are loaded into the internal document. The amount of these amounts is reported on line No. 26 of the domestic VAT return.

• Basic settings - Sales books
• Types of taxes for individual regimes

Intrastat books

A member of the group is replaced by the Intrastat Book, intrastat documents are created in various books as well as other documents in K2.

Now the intrastat parameters are set in the Intrastat Books.

In the Intrastat Book Settings it is possible to edit:

• Company - within one client we can perform intrastat calculation for different subjects.
• Legislation - we can choose the legislation of the state according to which the intrastat will be calculated.
• Intrastat calculation parameters - only invoice books with the same company and legislation as the Intrastat Book can be entered.

Intrastat documents

Intrastat documents are created in the selected book. The intrastat calculation parameters are read from the currently set Intrastat Book.
