Hi everyone,

Looking over the very impressive 4.0 release, I've noticed a handful of missing 
features that I would think some of you who use OFBIZ in production have 
probably solved.  For those of you who actually use OFBIZ in production, to 
what extent do you make use of the provided out-of-the-box functionality?  Do 
you use OFBIZ to satisfy some, most, or all of your company needs?  Do you use 
OFBIZ more for its framework components, for the applications it provides, or 
both?

Two areas of particular interest to me are Accounting Reports and Payroll.  I 
know that the OpenTaps variant claims to have more work done in the area of 
accounting, but for those of you who use OFBIZ itself and need these missing 
features, how have you met your need?  Do many of you use some other 
application to do the missing work?  Do you export transactions to Quickbooks 
or something and use that application to handle your reporting?

Sorry if these questions have been asked before, maybe I'm just looking for 
more up-to-date answers.  I am also not complaining that OFBIZ is deficient in 
any way.  I really like OFBIZ.  I'm just curious to understand how some of you 
manage to put it into production even though it "appears" to be missing a few 
pieces to make it a "basically" complete solution.  I know that since OFBIZ is 
an open-source project and that features do not get included until someone 
provides it.  Has anyone been working on these features?  Does anyone know of 
any people, proposals, or timelines relating to these features?

So in summary:  What do OFBIZ uses do to handle Payroll and Accounting Reports 
in production?
