I cant give you many details, but the last place i was the sysadmin at was a 40/60 joint Japanese/American venture, and had a similar problem.
They used EMS, and it seemed to work for them. Beacuse it was hosted by the American sides' corporate, i had little interaction with it., but it did seem to do the job, even though they tossed it out due to corporate pressure to move to Oracle financials ( what a big, stupid, time-consuming, and expensive fiasco ). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph" < To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 2:30 AM Subject: Re: [SL] what people would like to see; was (no subject) > [snip] > > > > Before people go off on a developers' list, I'd like to see discussion _here_ > > about what people are thinking about doing, what people would like to see > > done and so on. > > > > Not all of the people who might be able to contribute to such a discussion > > will want to join a developers' list. > > > > -- > > Cheers > > John Summerfield > > One thing I would like to see is truly multi-currency accounting system. > > We do business internationally and I was not able to find a single > accounting system that would be flexible enough to accommodate our > multi-currency requirement. > > I'll try to be as short as possible. > We sell our products Internationally, so our preference is to keep > prices in USD.
