Hi Jan-Marc.

I have also delved into these issues and have quite a bit of knowledge regarding them. I work at a spanish consulting company that gives accounting services for a big amount of customers.

As Craig states, Ledger is a pure command-line application.
It is absolutely agnostic to the concept of country-specific charts of accounts.

You can indeed use Ledger as the base for any kind of accounting, independent of the country.

I use Ledger for my own companies in Spain without any problems.

I come from the Python world, and know OpenERP also quite a bit.
And you are right, it can be quite overwhelming, especially for clients using it.

Please get in touch directly if you want any help. I'll be glad to help you out.

Regards, Stefan Tunsch

Ledger is purely command line driven. The input file is plain text and can handle Unicode account names, payees and arbitrary currencies (called commodities in ledger documentation. )

Multiple independent users would be driven using independent input files.

It sounds like you are looking for a web based accounting system ledger coyldcservecas the bass for one and some have done some work in that sea but that is not its focus

    Hi there.

    Im new to Ledger, but not to accounting. Here is our situation; we
    deliver services for homecare in the Netherlands. We have build an
    app that can handle all invoicing for that (RoR) and after the
    whole exercise we export all invoices to openERP. But what we have
    seen is that care providers still want to use their own
    accounting/Ledger system and secondly that openERP is not really
    user friendly.

    So we are doing research on what to do next, as I have an
    financial background and our company builds software (Java, js,
    HTML5, etc). Now we have the Dutch accounting scheme for homecare
    organisations and we know exactly how to set up the invoicing
    scheme. So that should not be too hard..:-).

    Just some questions:

     1. Is there already a Dutch implementation?
     2. Could we create multiple (user)accounts that all have their
        own instance and bookkeeping? In fact invoices for different
        providers (to the customer) are created from one central
        point. In this central point we in fact have re-sold turnover,
        and in each different account we create an invoice. If this is
        done correct we can have the payment flow quite easily
        afterwards..

    Hopefully my explanation is long enough to understand, any help is
    welcome!!

    Regards, Jan-Marc
