Accounts MIS client
Introduction
The Accounts MIS client is an extension of Meghdoot to be installed in all HOs and Project Arrow SOs. The objective of this application is to extract transaction data from Meghdoot applications of a head office and also project arrow related information of all project arrow offices and update the central server for MIS follow up and to update the directorate with the project arrow operational data.
Installation and configuration
The administrator installs the application and configures for use in the PO. The configuration window appears as in the figure below
Once the application is configured for the office calling hours can be scheduled to call the server in a specified time schedule, as shown above. This schedule can be changed later as also the other configuration details, if required. The application is installed in one of the systems in the LAN, where, preferably, all communication modules are installed and requires internet connection or WAN connection for communication with central server. The communication process should never be disturbed and great care should be taken by the user who works in this system and no configuration changes should be attempted. No attempt should also be made to run the utility at an unspecified time of the day, before completing the sequence discussed later.
Data generation process This application is designed to obtain data from basic operations of the PO and update the central server with accounts and project arrow data every day. Data can be generated on any day only after Day end is performed in all the modules including Sanchay Post. In respect of Project Arrow offices, Speednet also should be working in the office. The following sequence has to be adopted by the office in day/shift end
146
1. In an office where Speednet is installed, shift end has to be first done in the module (all operators end their shift first and supervisor at the end performs his/her shift end) before doing day/shift end in any other module after completing the following tasks
a. Returns of all postmen should be taken by the operator b. Address data entry of BNPL articles should be done, if any c. Flush data should be run after BNPL related activities are complete
2. Next Shift end has to be done in Point of Sale module (supervisor ends the shift after verifying the accounts submitted by all operators and after shift end is performed by all operators)
3. Follow this up with Shift end by operator in Despatch module (operator performs this task)
4. Now the day end has to be performed by supervisor in Postman module by the supervisor after completing the following tasks
a. Returns have to be taken from all the beats selecting the standard remarks by operator
b. All postmen have to settle their accounts with the treasurer c. Supervisor has to submit the accounts of all the beats
5. Subsequently day end has to be done in sub accounts and then Treasury module by concerned supervisors
6. Day end has to be done independently in Sanchay Post simultaneously but before Accounts MIS client can be run
On completion of day/shift end task in all modules as above, the MIS data generation process in the application is invoked by running the program by clicking Start – Programs - Shortcut to Meghdoot Accounts MIS Client.exe selecting the transaction date and clicking OK button as shown in the figure below.
147
The application will now check all applications for Day/shift end and if satisfactory, will generate the MIS data. If this condition fails, non completion of the required task will be displayed. If the OK button is clicked without selecting the date, the application will generate data for the latest date for which day end condition is satisfied. Further, if an attempt is made to generate data for a day for which data is already generated, a message pops for confirmation of second time generation. The data so generated, which will be encrypted form, will be updated at the central server through the calling process establishing connection with central server through one of the WAN connection methods. Any failure on this count will be logged in the error log file which can be accessed through a link available on the application itself or browsing through the installation path.
MIS follow up
On successful uploading of data, various users can use the login ID dop and password accts to login to the site https://services.ptcmysore.gov.in/AccountsMIS (quick link is available in India Post site) and view the transaction data as well as project arrow file availability for any office and also delinquency in this regard. Apart from Project arrow related information, the site will also show the financial transaction data and details of closing balance of a HO and SOs in account with, for a HO date (data flows from HO summary and SO summary prepared for the date). The front page of the MIS web tools appears as in the figure below ***************************************************************************
