Thanks for the extra info John.
Yes, I am aware of the limitations, but as I said, it works for (just
me) now.
Despite that, I did play around with Dolibarr, but ran out of capacity
pretty quickly... I am literally at this moment entering my invoices
into GnuCash for the parts I bought on Cyber Monday to build a new
server/NAS over the upcoming Holidays 🙂
Cheers!

But my question is a simple one: Is there a MAXIMUM number of Accounts, or file
size? I currently have 53 parts with one Account per Part Number to track stock
levels. This WILL grow with time.
Chris,
There’s no limit to the number of accounts and no software constraints on file
size, but you should be aware that GnuCash loads *everything* into memory at
the beginning of a session, even when using MySQL or Postgresql as a backend.
That might impose a performance limit on how big your data file or database
gets.
However GnuCash is just a basic accounting program. It has no inventory
management facility and only basic business facilities and a very simple lot
manager. As long as you can live with those limitations you’ll be OK, but a
proper ERP system would make your life much easier as your business scales up.
Regards,
John Ralls
