We are getting ready to go live with our ofBiz/Opentaps implimentation. The
largest concern of our accounting person is that she does not have a
reference/contact that she can exchange issues, ideas, and experiences with.

Is there anyone who can forward me an accounting person reference how is or has
undergone an installation. Especially things like keeping two set of books and
reconciling them.

I know privacy is an issue for many people, but she feels very alone in this
process and *really* needs someone who can relate to using the system from a
perspective other than a developer's perspective.

Thanks a ton if you can help.

Hi Walter,

In this regard I would suggest you please sign a small support program from opensource strategies or hotwax media. Opensource stratgies have developed a very good financial application on ofbiz and are very good with financials.

Other way round you can also contact David E. Jones Hotwax media for support if they provide financials support.

In my view it would pay you in the long run to have a good support from any of these company for your financial person.

We have faced the same issue in our company since Finance person would not like to talk technical but financials like cost centers, receivables, payables, vendor balance, customer balance with related manuals available. We in turn contacted some of the core developers and in the process of getting their help.

Regards,
Vikrant

I don't know that we at Hotwax could help a lot with this. We have had a few clients ask about using accounting with OFBiz, but most of our clients prefer an external solution with a light integration anyway. Part of the reason for that is the only real option right now for automated posting and financial reporting is the Open Source Strategies financials module that is part of the opentaps package as well.

So, yeah, the best source of information is probably OSS directory or maybe the opentaps mailing list because I'm not sure how many core OFBiz users actually use the financials package or any major accounting (automated general ledger) on top of the main OFBiz code base (yet anyway... I do know there are a few efforts moving in that direction and even toward implementing automated posting and financial reporting that will go back into OFBiz).
