Hi Grant,
I would strongly suggest to consider the adoption of the official OFBiz
accounting component and *not* the third party versions, especially you
plan to deploy OFBiz (and not one of its forks/variants... but in my
opinion OFBiz is the best choice).
That said, yes the financial features are still young (but
growing/maturing quickly) and right now the feature set is comparable to
the ones of the counterparts.
As regards the documentation about financial setup, yes at the moment
there is not a lot around, but if you, or anyone else, are willing to
help write down some notes (for example in the OFBiz wiki), I'm sure
that we can help to guide you in your research/tests... it is not very
difficult to perform an initial setup.
As a starting point, I'd suggest to have a look at the financial demo
settings provided for the "Company" party:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/trunk/applications/accounting/data/DemoGlSetupData.xml
this should give you an idea of the data structure (that you can create
also by the application's user interface).

Dear Grant,
The financial management in ofbiz is work in progress you would not get a
complete documentation on it.
If you are looking for something already done then its better u look at ofbiz
based product like http://www.opentaps.org or http://www.neogia.org/
Both have some financial management system although not sophisticated but ok
for general accounting.
Regards,
Vikrant

Subject: Accounting documentation
Hi
I am looking for a non technical guide to the OFBiz accounting component.
Something that I can give to an accountant that explains what the OFBiz
account component can do and more or less how to go about setting it up.
Regards
Grant Edwards
