I'm writing this script in bash that I want to use to invoke functionality in LedgerSMB. Can I use curl and the webservices API to do that?
Yes you can. In order to do so, you must first create a valid session for your follow-up requests by authenticating:
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.
By far the fastest procedure for installing LedgerSMB is by using the published Docker images: Being an ERP, there are many dependencies to be installed and all of them are included in the images, with the exception of the required PostgreSQL database. There are two ways to provide the PostgreSQL functionality: by setting up a separate PostgreSQL server or by using a PostgreSQL-providing Docker container.
Getting all the development dependencies and a working copy for LedgerSMB can be time consuming and complex. However, using our Docker Compose infrastructure reduces this to four simple steps:
