Here is the link: http://wiki.github.com/jwiegley/ledger/ I currently use it for personal finances, but I've done some cool things like connect my ledger system to my banks using OFX Direct Connect via external Python scripts. With some work it may meet your needs. While I don’t think it qualifies as a full ERP system, I use a double-entry accounting system simply called `ledger.’ Here is the link:

I'll take a look at Quasar. <p>Unfortunately, I don't think my scripts will help paying invoices. What I have is a bunch of postgres SQL that creates csv files from the Ledger SMB database and then a little module description that uses the native support to import a CSV file. So, unless you're doing a bulk data import it won't help much. Marking an invoice paid that way would be kind of tricky: there are a lot of things to get consistent.</p> Thanks.

I'm not migrating from Ledger SMB but it may be useful regardless. Especially I'm having trouble "paying" invoices, it's not that well documented. Thanks. Hi

I would be interested in seeing your scripts for OpenERP. I’m not migrating from Ledger SMB but it may be useful regardless. Especially I’m having trouble “paying” invoices, it’s not that well documented.

Thanks.

I wished you would have taken a look at that software in this article. The accounting package that I think is best for SMB is called Quasar (http://www.linuxcanada.com/).
