Accounting Features in 9.04 and Trunk

[Koon Sang]

Hello,

We are customizing OFBIZ for a customer.  We started with OFBIZ 9.04 and have done quite a fair bit of customization.  We realized that there are quite some enhancements  in Trunk for accounting application and now we are weighing whether to switch to the Trunk version to take advantage of the enhancements in accounting application.  Of course, that will mean we have to re-do the customization in the Trunk version, not to mention about the time that we may need to spend in fixing minor bugs/problems with the Trunk version.  Anyone can let us know how much enhancements are done in the Trunk version as compared to 9.04 or perhaps how mature is the accounting application in 9.04 such as covering 60% or 70% of the accounting needs?

Really need your help and advice in this.  Thank you very much.

Jacopo is the most knowledgeable about this.
if you have followed best practices in modifying code, you should be
able to copy and paste you code to any version.
part of the trunk upgrade was to move to big decimal and java ver 1.6
this makes a lot of code in the trunk not able to move back to 1.5
you should be able to run 9.04 with java 1.6, though.

you can go through the commit mail list since 9.04 was released and find
all the commits to applications/accounting, to review what can be added
to 9.04

The BigDecimal conversion was done prior to the 9.04 release branch.
