I'll eventually translate this from from old code I am porting, but it's real low on the priority list. Don't expect to get to it till the middle of next year. Writing the reports is the easy part. The hard part is getting the data into a transaction file and then into the GL.

Here is my reply to him: ============================ I wish... As far as I know there is no funding anywhere for this so it is being done as different people and teams contributing to OFBiz have the free time. There are lots of ways you could help. An these basic financial statements are fairly straightforward, but also only a small part of the reports people usually like to see. We could use a lot of help with writing up specs for the reports based on the OFBiz data model. If that's beyond what you're interested in we could really use your help once the reports are written to test and review them. ============================ What fascinates me is how many people have replied about this on and off list... and how nothing has happened for years on this because no one has wanted to fund and contribute in this area (just a few individuals working on it in free time). The notable semi-exception is the OSS financials module, but I say semi-exception because that isn't part of OFBiz and isn't the sort of foundation that a community can gather around and build and maintain going forward. In any case, there is no big news, no big change, it is as it has always been: no end-user client sponsoring the effort, just individuals working on it in their own free time. At Hotwax we have a list of a number of these items we'd like to have our people working on, but this is a VERY new situation so we don't know when we'll have free people and how things will go when we do. We're attempting to group resources so we can take on larger contracts and get OFBiz into places it hasn't been before because of a lack of available service providers of a certain category. In short, this is one of various things on a list we have, and most of which I've mentioned in other emails. I hope that clears things up. I also hope the excitement I've seen about this will translate into something productive... -David On Nov 20, 2007, at 1:57 PM, Scott. wrote: > > This is great news David.
