Ok, then this is not an option.  (Basically it means generating Perl code
which  creates the invoice object and posts it.)  This will get a *lot*
easier in 1.4.


I've tried, using phppgAdmin, to create am invoice to load the stock

Yes, that would be incorrect.

Here are a few pointers to help.  Use PgAdmin III  or *better yet* psql
since you can actually take advantage of transactions that way :-)

2)  Load your data into a new table.  Then use insert ... select ... queries
to populate the other tables as necessary.

3)  Use a generic vendor for your invoice.

4)  If you need paid support, just ask-- it is not a big job if you know
what you are doing and if your data is well structured.

If you can get your data into a spreadsheet, I would be happy to help you.
Without seeing the spreadsheet, I could not give you a quote, however.  I
would not expect it to be too much however.
