Here's an example of what I do: For assets: CompanyName:Assets:Checking CompanyName:Assets:AccountsReceivable:ClientName For liabilities: CompanyName:Liabilities:Loan CompanyName:Liabilities:Utilities For Clients: Clients:ClientName:Equity Clients:ClientName:Invoice:Labor Clients:ClientName:Invoice:Materials Clients:ClientName:Payments:PaymentMethod With the above setup, I can easily get a balance for each customer, and see my total assets/liabilities fairly easily. Before you ask, there is no good way in Ledger to track inventory - while it can do commodity pricing, if you were to purchase an identical item at different prices (for example, if you bought 5 items for $10/each, then 20 for $9/each) there's no way to differentiate between the items. It's really intended for securities. Does this help? - Zack
