Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-12918:
--------------------------------------
[~mleila],
There has been a discussion in ofbiz-dev to phase out the AR and AP
applications and integrate the unique elements of those into the accounting
application. IMO, the overviews of 'invoices past due' and 'invoices due soon'
in the main screen of those applications are the unique elements that
should/could be integrated in the accounting application, and the other
elements are are already available in the accounting application.
With regards to the AR aspect I have created OFBIZ-12966 (and Pull-Request #74)
as a starting point.

> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: accounting

>
> Customization is a key aspect of the OFBiz (Open For Business) platform,
> providing businesses with a robust and adaptable base to customize their
> enterprise software solutions according to their unique operational
> requirements.
> The *Menus.xml file of a component, essential for designing user interfaces
> that are both intuitive and tailored to the specific roles and tasks of its
> users, plays a significant role in this context, as referenced within screen
> widgets and Freemarker templates.
> However, as customizations and the project's source code evolve over time,
> the likelihood of encountering merge conflicts increases significantly,
> especially when attempting to incorporate customizations alongside ongoing
> bug fixes and enhancements from the project.
> To improve the appeal of OFbiz and the developer experience, it is
> recommended to shift from fixed menu locations to a parameterized approach in
> our components and plugins. This change would enable developers to more
> seamlessly incorporate a 'custom' menu, facilitating the integration of
> project updates.
