Hi,
I need an invoicing system that will work with open office. I don't know
how to program and have downloaded a bunch of invoice templates. But I
don't know what to do with them nor how to connect them to a database or an
ini. file which includes the inventory/fees. I was using a program called
QuickInvoice but would like something more customizable. It has my
inventory locked in a .ini file, which i have no idea how to convert.
Does anyone have or know of a way to make a basic invoice "program" that can
do the following?:
-easily add clients and inventory from a database
-increment the invoice number per saved invoice
-total the bill
convert .ini files to something usable with openoffice
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Well - a number of people have setup invoicing systems using the Base
module within OpenOffice.org, at the moment I don't know of any that
have offered their work for download by others.
(Note there is a Membership database available from the extensions
repository that does include invoicing functionality however)
I took the liberty to download and install the QuickInvoice application
you mention. The developers of that application opted to use ini files
as the data storage mechanism for that application. Not that common, but
certainly not unheard of. I suppose the up side to that is - if someone
put together an invoicing system in OpenOffice.org then exchanging data
with that application would be very straight forward, but it would have
to be done using some custom coding in OOoBasic or any of the other
supported scripting languages.
Before suggesting that you could most likely do this yourself, with some
help, let me ask - What customizations would you be looking to do?
Thanks
Drew
