I'm not an accountant, how do I learn how to keep my books?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Quite a few users find some of the terminology and accounting processes a little confusing at first. Some of the more popular small business accounting packages tend to hide these aspects of book-keeping from users for simplicity, so with the current user interface there is often some new ideas to grasp.

First step is the manual - the LedgerSMB manual is free and highly recommended reading.

Submitted by Chris Travers on

What has been fixed (since 1.2.0):
1) Backups created from the user interface were sending out blank backups.
2) Sales tax was selecting the wrong acounts for invoices and printing.
3) Data entry screens were showing incorrect amounts for sales tax.
4) Logos were not printing.
5) Data update script was not using correct password.
6) Account deletion was giving a database error
7) Some 1.2.1 users were unable to log in after upgrading

All the above items have been corrected

Hi all;

I thought it might be a good time to send out the changelog for 1.2.0.

1.1.12 released

Submitted by Chris Travers on

This release fixes two serious bugs in 1.1.11:
1) Unable to generate sales orders from timecards
2) Installation overwriting user authentication data.

It is the preferred upgrade over 1.1.10.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
