Add/edit historical report card grades not appearing in report card for the marking period

[fcortesjp]

I thought I had submitted this issue before but it appears I never came around to it

background: student may enroll late and may come with a report card from another institucion. as my understanding goes, the add/edit historical report card grades should allow the school to integrate the grades from the other school so they can be used at our school while generating new reports for upcoming marking perios and new report grades.

issue: when entering historical report grades for a given marking period, there's no way from the ui to make sure the grades aligned with the existent (our school ) course periods... there's a code, but it's simply a text field so there's no actual way to integrate this historical grade records with the system unless you go in into the database and modify the records to associate those records with the respective course period that the grade should be tied with.

ideal solution:

• dropdown to select the course period instead of the a code text field could help resolve the lack of possible courser_period_grade association.
• letter grade should also a field to enter that should autocalculate the value from the grade percentage that one would've entered, instead of a text field
• GP should also be autocalculated from the percentage
• credit attempted should given by the course period selected previously and credit earned should be autocalaculated from based on the % entered..

note:

at a minimum when we get grades reports from another school we only get the subject and the grade given for a given marking period... other items should be obtained from the existing information within our opensis instance so they can be integrated as grades that could be use to feed our platform and generate upcoming grade report (report cards)
