Re: [ilugd] lug accounts
From a purely techno-managerial point of view, using an online accounting package running on a remote server is a major PIA. If the CA the only one working with the accounting package, it makes more sense running the app on a machine at his place of work. If only a few and select number of people need to work on it, they can connect via VPN to his machine and work with it there. Only if a large enough set of diversely located people are going to be using the apps, does it need to be on a public web server. But this is unlikely isnt it? What one can do, is to make a bridge which can import the tally(or whatever app the CA would prefer using) data into avsap, and avsap can display a readonly view of it to the world. Data could be synced from time to time, and you can actually use this to demonstrate if you will an actual account. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya *Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

It is rare that the CA will actually do the accounts entry. Usually, the CA installs an accounting package at the client's end and the client does the entry with the CA auditing it and signing off on the final accounts. or the client does the entry in raw form of a spreadsheet which is printed out and given to the CA who may or may not enter it into the computer to finalise it. Tally does not export data to any format, the only way tally data can be used is to print out all the vouchers and then manually enter them in another accounting system - unworkable. The way i suggest is that the accounts are entered locally on a local machine using avsap by whoever maintains the accounts - the postgreql database can be synced with the public database on the web which would give a read-only view to anyone interested. The CA can audit remotely by logging in to the local machine. Given the volume of entries, about one hour a month is ample for making the entries. The CA will barf initially, but he has no right to dictate what software the client uses as long as it follows the norms of double-entry bookkeeping. And when he finds that he can use odbc to import the data into his spreadsheet, he will be thrilled. -- regards kg http://www.livejournal.com/users/lawgon tally ho! http://avsap.org.in ಇಂಡ್ಲಿನಕ್ಸ வாழ்க! ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
