BHIMA

Basic Hospital Information Management Application

Bhima is a free, open source accounting and hospital information management system (HIMS) tailored for rural hospitals in Africa. We are an international team based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Account Statement Module

The Account Statement module provides a detailed view of transactions in the General Ledger for a particular account. It is identical to the Account Statement Report (found under Reports > Account Statement Report). Since the information comes for the General Ledger, it must be have already been posted from the Journal.

The module is divided into sections: the filter bar, the grid, and the footer.

Filter Bar

The module requires the standard default filters of limit and period. Additionally, you must provide a default account. This allows the module to assume an account is always set and display opening balances and movements throughout the period in a meaningful way.

Grid

The heart of the module is a grid supporting many of the grid features found in BHIMA. This view differs from the Journal by limiting the records to only a single account. Typically, the view will show a single side of a transaction. To show the other side of the transaction, you can follow the links in the Transaction ID column to view the transaction in the Journal.
