I was thinking of Vtiger when this thread started. When last I looked in on them, there was a major effort to add these features (which appears to have been followed through on), but at the time there was no clear sense of where to draw the line as a stop against becoming an accounting system. I viewed it as a cautionary tale, that once a toe is dipped into either CRM or Accounting duties, the expectations rapidly snowball to go all the way down the feature path. I'd be content if LedgerSMB's customer -> contact entities avoided adding a single field that wasn't used for calculations or intended for printing to transaction documents, and instead there was a clear consensus and documentation for integrators to add their own schema, and a hook for their add-on form to render those fields. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
