I cannot load the page. If you have other links to docs about how ERP works I could use them. I have some basic questions I am trying to answer for example:
1) The account structure is a tree: Assets *BankAccount **Account0001 Asset:BankAccount:Account0001 is a leaf. Can one transfer to/from leafs only or also to/from parents? I think leaf only. 2) changes in the leafs propagate up for example: Assets, 0 *BankAccount, 0 **Account0001, 0 posting $5 in Asset:BankAccount:Account0001 results in Assets, $5 *BankAccount, $5 **Account0001, $5 and this is ok. If now have two accounts, one in $ and one in €: Assets, $5, €7 *BankAccount, $5, €7 **Account0001, $5 **Account0002, €7 this is also fine but the wallet of parents accounts now contain more than one currency. The same happens for stocks. This is how beancount works and how pacioli works too. So what if my business is a trading company and owns thousands of different stocks and they all propagate up? Suddenly each pare account contains thousands of different securities. How to deal with that? reporting seems impossible. 3) Basically the problem as above but related to inventory. Inventory stuff are assets. Assets *Inventory **Product0001 ... **Product9999 the different product quantities should propagate up but they cannot be added because correspond to different products (5 apples + 6 products != 12). Product0001 does not have the same value as Product0002, therefore the value cannot be converted to $ because its value changes with time. How should it be reported? Perhaps when 5 apples propagate up they should be converted to $ at current price and when one apple is sold or disposed the negative previous value should propagate up and the different between current price and previous price should be in capital gain(loss). Yet this is immensely complicated because for each different apple the equivalence depends on when the product was manufactured. These may be naive questions but these are the problems that I am stuck with at the moment? massimo On Friday, 22 February 2013 21:38:33 UTC-6, 黄祥 wrote: > > very nice, i'm interesting in it, i am trying to built an simple erp in > web2py too, but don't know how to do it. i learned the erp mechanism like > in https://www.erpag.com, hope can be built it on web2py. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
