We have 3 offices in our company and currently use 3 copies of
QuickBooks.  What is the best way to use LedgerSMB in our situation?  We
would like to be able to use the same master inventory list so updates
only have to happen once for all 3 locations.  But, we would like each
of the 3 locations to have separate accounts.  Also, we would need to be
able to transfer inventory between the 3 offices.

Can a single installation handle this or would we need to install 3
local copies and write a script to sync the inventory between the 3
databases?

The easiest thing to do is to set up one instance, have each location
be a "department" and a "warehouse."  Then you can run reports based
on department.  Note that each department will need to be a profit
center if they want to be able to sell things.

Hope this helps.
