But for what I understand the AR and AP applications contain alternative screens to the ones in the main "accounting" application. They are an effort to implement more focused/specific applications versus the more generic "accounting" application. So, the main "accounting" application should already contain both the AR/AP features, but some of its screens could serve both. I would be in favor of the removal if we can make sure that all the features that are removed are still available (even if in a more generic way) in the "accounting" application.
