Does LedgerSMB support "sub-accounts"?

Submitted by ehu on

Yes. LedgerSMB has a mechanism called "Account headings". The headings are the opposite of what Intuit explains about Quickbooks for their subaccount support: Quickbooks splits an account into multiple and aggregates those new accounts into the old one for reporting. To achieve the same in LedgerSMB, you create multiple accounts and one or more headings. LedgerSMB then aggregates the totals of the accounts per heading. The system used by LedgerSMB closely resembles what MYOB describes about their accounts and headers.

Yes.

Upgrade to LedgerSMB 1.8

Submitted by ehu on

Overview

Company database upgrades are supported all the way back from 1.4 directly to 1.8, using the 1.8 software. Company database upgrades from 1.3 and 1.2 are also supported, but due to the different nature of the upgrade process are called "migrations". The important difference being that when doing a migration, a copy of the data is being created in the 1.8 structure, while upgrades adjust the existing structure for 1.8.

I want to switch to LedgerSMB, but I have unpaid invoices. What to do?

Submitted by ehu on

The general approach is to migrate invoices first, creating them as they exist in the current accounting solution. Then, differences with the intended balance can be calculated and the remainder posted at-once. For more comprehensive explanation see How do I migrate my existing books to LedgerSMB?
