The
Linux General Ledger is a state of the art
business application developed for use in small businesses
either by in-house bookkeepers or outside accountants. It
functions either as a complete, stand-alone, after-the-fact
bookkeeping and write-up system or, as a General Ledger interfaced
to locally developed Subsidiary Ledgers (e.g., AR, AP, PR,
Inventory/Order Entry, Billing, etc..) The user has complete
control over creation of the Chart of Accounts, Custom Report
Creation, Journal Entries, and opening and closing of each
accounting period. An interface for file transfer to Postgres
is included as a standard feature.
The Linux General Ledger operates as either client or server,
remotely via telnet or other terminal emulation, or as a stand-alone
system. Remote access is available from any terminal supported
by Linux. All screens are activated and deactivated by quick
function key use for speed and ease of entry. Most input can
be managed from the 10-key pad alone. There's no wasting time
positioning and repositioning a mouse for entries. This makes
data entry and moving around in the program much faster than
mouse based systems.
For
the ISV, VAR, and Developer the Linux General Ledger (LGL)
includes Open Source to all files needed for interfacing to,
and posting from, locally developed applications, as well
as a utility for file dump into Postgres. And, with the Open
Source file structure of the LGL it is a simple task to build
a transfer protocol from Postgres to the LGL. Thus, by using
the Linux General Ledger there is no need to waste time, effort,
and money developing another general ledger locally. Whether
you're developing with a programming language or with a database,
such as Postgres, just write your custom accounting application
and then dump the results into the Linux General Ledger (Why
re-invent the wheel? Use your valuable time and knowledge
where it's most profitable).
Source
Code is available for the Linux General Ledger
when local customization is required. A source license with
binary resale rights is also available. The entire package
is written in C/C++ and uses the ncurses library functions
so it is easily integrated with other locally developed applications
- especially when using our GENSCREEN C code generator, which
is included at no charge with source to the LGL. A special
Open Source Class type for "MONEY" is also included
with the distribution. Using this class (moncls.h) eliminates
the problems of dealing with C types such as float or double
when accounting for money amounts. To obtain a free copy of
the "MONEY" C++ source file click here and save
the source file.
All OPEN SOURCE included with
the Linux General Ledger is covered by the GNU General Public
License.
