I'm willing to help out as and when time allows, but I have to get lsmb working first. I also have an ecommerce package that needs to be updated, and this has an admin panel that does everything needed for sales and payment operations, but nothing on purchases. I do plan to add that, and probably integrate your module, but it's never going to be compliant enough with accounting practices to satisfy an audit. So, assuming that lsmb is compliant for the UK (I haven't seen this stated) then I will be wanting to use that. I'm personally hopeless at accounting, so need something that will do it right for me. Currently lsmb is throwing internal server errors (possibly due to an unblessed reference) and refusing my login, but I hope to get this working sometime this week and will then look at how VAT might be extracted.
