| Summary | 0009078: Default wire transfer delay should be absolute | ||||
| Description | Currently the default wire transfer delay is computed relatively from current date + N. This opens potential accounting and legal issues when delays are shifted, e.g., in the case of irregular payments. E.g., a 90-day invoice limit might be overstepped, or an accounting period miss some late payments. This situation can be alleviated by deciding on a precise transfer day to convert existing relative dates to regular (absolute) calendar dates. | ||||

I'm not sure you actually want it to be absolute, that would give you the same time always. Note that per-order, you already have refund_deadline and pay_deadline and wire_transfer_deadline which ARE absolute. See https://docs.taler.net/core/api-merchant.html#creating-orders in the spec. I think you want a "rounding" value, where the *-deadline is computed automatically rounded to the next minute/hour/day/week/month/year. That's not the same as an 'absolute' time though (in our terminology). Now, I wonder if you missed the above fields, or if we really need to add a per-instance default deadline "rounding" option. Also, do we need just rounding to minute/hour/day/week/month/year, or do we also need offsets (deadline == always 27th of the month, or always at 23:55 each day) in that case? |
