🏷️ Labels: Python, Automation, Data Processing, Accounting, Google Sheets
📂 Project: Accounting
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance the accounting system by developing an automated bill assignment and processing system using Python.

Key Activities

  • Refinement of Accounting System Structure: Streamlined the system by centralizing bill processing, standardizing functions, and separating data inputs from outputs to improve efficiency.
  • Bill Assignment Module Creation: Developed the bill_assignment.py module with functions for deterministic and round-robin bill assignment.
  • Data Pipeline Streamlining: Refined the data processing pipeline, focusing on debt ledger filtering and periodic bill assignment runs.
  • Debt Processing Module: Created debt_processing.py to filter debt ledgers and export structured data for reporting.
  • Bill Management System Implementation: Integrated a complete program for automating bill assignment, including data loading, filtering, processing, and exporting results to CSV files.
  • Refactored Filtering Functions: Improved custom filtering functions for a debt ledger, enhancing stability and usability.
  • Dynamic Google Sheets Loader: Developed a function for loading data from Google Sheets into a Pandas DataFrame, improving reusability and error handling.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed and integrated multiple Python modules to automate bill assignment and processing.
  • Enhanced the efficiency and robustness of the accounting system through modular design and improved data handling.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refinements to the modules and functions as needed for additional integrations or optimizations.
