Bug #: 49533
Summary: : Libreoffice needs double-entry accounting
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
Libreoffice is a wonderful office suite for most peoples office-needs. However,
for people who run their own businesses, Libreoffice lacks one crucial module:
accounting.
There are already some open source accounting applikations like Gnucash and
KMyMoney, but these are lacking in a lot of ways which makes it neccessary to
use other applications as well for invoicing and handling customers and
suppliers. Libreoffice is a great suite for handling a lot of things the
current accounting software don't do so well. In fact, accounting is pretty
much the only crucial thing lacking in Libreoffice to extend it from being a
mere office suite to being a business suit.
An accounting module would, in other words, make Libreoffice even better than
it is today and also a step to be a serious competitor to not only Microsofts
Office suite, but also all the different closed source software which are used
in businesses.
Wishlist of what it should do:
1. Conform to international bookkeeping standards (double-entry accounting
should be preferred because of this)
2. Be fully integrated with other Libreoffice modules. For example, customers
and suppliers could be handled in Base databases, invoices could use
spreadsheet templates from Calc etc.
3. Be easy enough to use for new businesses. Gnucash is great here in it's
optional use of typical accounting nomencalture, like debit and credit.
