Every once in a while it comes up that ledger's commodity system isn't suited for managing an inventory of items, for example, widgets being sold at a retail store, as there's no unique tracking of individual items in the system or ways to keep track of which items were purchased at what price, which would sometimes be needed.
That said, does anyone know of a a tool that would work with Ledger to manage a physical inventory - say, manage a list of similar items, track their purchase/sale price, other information (serial numbers, where purchased from, etc.), do FIFO or LIFO queuing of items upon sale, and generate appropriate ledger files when items move in and out of the system? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if something like this already exists. Thanks, Zack
