I'm in the process of trying to find an open-source accounting/ERP package for my client, which I will then send accounting information to from my Rails POS app. It will also be hit up by a large PHP app, FWIW.
OpenERP looked like a good candidate, but it is very complex, and its API poorly documented. It needs to be a reasonably sophisticated accounting package. In particular, it should support sub-accounts, so we can do accounting on behalf of multiple large organizations, and they can have their own sub-organizations, and they can do their accounting just on their content, but my client's accountant can do reporting and other accounting black arts across the whole business. The major candidates I can find are written in Python, Java, C++ and (in the case of Postbooks), Postgres stored procedures. Does anyone here have experience with such things, and care to offer a suggestion? -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
