Bug #: 49533 Summary: : Libreoffice needs double-entry accounting Classification: Unclassified Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Status Whiteboard: BSA Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Libreoffice AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: mintl...@hotmail.com Problem description: Libreoffice is a wonderful office suite for most peoples office-needs. However, for people who run their own businesses, Libreoffice lacks one crucial module: accounting. There are already some open source accounting applikations like Gnucash and KMyMoney, but these are lacking in a lot of ways which makes it neccessary to use other applications as well for invoicing and handling customers and suppliers. Libreoffice is a great suite for handling a lot of things the current accounting software don't do so well. In fact, accounting is pretty much the only crucial thing lacking in Libreoffice to extend it from being a mere office suite to being a business suit. An accounting module would, in other words, make Libreoffice even better than it is today and also a step to be a serious competitor to not only Microsofts Office suite, but also all the different closed source software which are used in businesses. Wishlist of what it should do: 1. Conform to international bookkeeping standards (double-entry accounting should be preferred because of this) 2. Be fully integrated with other Libreoffice modules. For example, customers and suppliers could be handled in Base databases, invoices could use spreadsheet templates from Calc etc. 3. Be easy enough to use for new businesses. Gnucash is great here in it's optional use of typical accounting nomencalture, like debit and credit. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
