hi Guys,

Which was the source for Chart of Accounts we see in the ofbiz demo file DemoGeneralChartOfAccounts.xml? Is it any standard accounts set? What I am looking for is the standard set of US accounts for ecommerce middle size
company with sales/purchase activity.

I would love if someone could share it with me if have one ready in xml seed
file to load. Thank you.

What is in SVN is a combination of various example charts of accounts.

As far as I'm aware there is no such things as a standard chart of accounts, not from any governing body, and only some example ones from different industry bodies. For mid-size ecommerce companies? I don't think there is any industry consortium or the like for that.

Usually these are very customized depending on the organization, often witwh the help of an accountant.

We would eventually like to get a bunch of these into OFBiz, ie a master superset of accounts and a number of sub-sets of those for different industries. Of course, even those will be starting points and will generally require customization.

An accounting system with no ledger accounts which can be assigned to a
company is not very usefull.

currently the file:
data/DemoGeneralChartOfAccounts.xml is 'demo' data, isn't it better to
change
this to 'seed' data?
