Debian Lex Accounting packages

LedgerSMB is a full featured double-entry financial accounting and Enterprise Resource Planning system accessed via a web browser (Perl/JS with a PostgreSQL backend) which offers "Accounts Receivable", "Accounts Payable" and "General Ledger" tracking as well as inventory control and fixed assets handling. The LedgerSMB client can be a web browser or a programmed API call. The goal of the LedgerSMB project is to bring high quality ERP and accounting capabilities to Small and Midsize Businesses.

 Features:
 - Sales (Invoices, Orders, Quotations)
 - Receivables & Payables
 - General ledger
 - Inventory management
 - Fixed asset accounting & depreciation
 - Profit & cost centers, departments, projects
 - Output documents in PDF, HTML, CSV, and Office formats
 - Mail documents (e.g. invoices) from within the application
 - Translatable to your language (comes with 45 languages)

The application now defaults to being made available locally on port 5762 and being run directly by Starman instead of by Apache. If other access is needed, a Reverse Proxy can be configured locally using Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, or Varnish.

Accounting data is stored in an SQL Server, for the display any text or GUI browser can be used. The entire system is linked through a chart of accounts. Each item in inventory is linked to revenue, expense, inventory and tax accounts. When you sell and purchase goods and services the accounts are automatically updated.

With the assembly feature you can build manufactured goods from parts, services and assemblies. When you sell assemblies all the accounts linked to the individual parts, services and assemblies are updated and stock levels adjusted accordingly. If any item belonging to an assembly is changed all assemblies are updated as well.

Invoices, Packing List, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Sales and Purchase Order, Statements, Receipts and Checks are generated from templates and may be changed to suit your needs. Templates are provided in html and tex format. The tex templates are processed with LaTeX to produce postscript and PDF documents and can be sent to a printer, displayed in a PDF viewer or sent out via email ...

NOTE: This package does not benefit from serious security support and you should use it only in a trusted environment. It's known to be affected by multiple SQL injections and similar problems. See the README.Debian file for more information.
