Hello all, Thank you for creating LedgerSMB. FOSS accounting software is a very rare and, for most people, un-sexy project. I am glad to see someone taking up the challenge and taking LedgerSMB in a better direction than its predecessor. I especially look forward to the stabilization of an API so I can integrate other parts of my business with the accounting system. I have recently started using LedgerSMB in my small business. I have a few basic beginner's questions. I have read the LedgerSMB pdf manual which is a very good start but far from comprehensive. When adding a customer how is one supposed to know what customer number to use? Seems like it should auto-fill the field and auto-increment based on existing customer numbers. I accidentally just created two customers with the same customer number. Glad I caught it or it could have caused serious confusion later. I do not understand how to set up the linking of accounts. Currently the only accounts available for an AR transaction are: Sales/General, Sales/Aftermarket parts, and Consulting. I have added accounts that better correspond with the types of services I sell but do not see how to get them to appear in the Account dropdown when making an AR transaction. Not so much a question but a comment: It would be nice if it didn't use frames and had a more ReSTful URL structure. I often, out of habit, use the forward/back arrows and things get really confused. It is also a bit hard to know exactly where I am in the app since the url never changes making navigation somewhat unintuitive. Thanks! -- Tracy Reed
