Users - ledger accounts seed or demo?

[Hans Bakker-3]

An accounting system with no ledger accounts which can be assigned to a
company is not very usefull.

currently the file:
data/DemoGeneralChartOfAccounts.xml is 'demo' data, isn't it better to change
this to 'seed' data?

Just like ProductStores, ProdCatalogs, and so on the chart of account really should be customized per company, or used as a basis for an extension to OFBiz for an industry specific derivative work or something.

Also just as with the demo ProductStore and catalogs and products and such for smaller companies using it "out of the box" the best thing to do is start with the "working" demo data and make changes to it as needed.

Technically this isn't necessary to run OFBiz, just as a ProductStore is not necessary when not doing sales orders (for those who are so lucky...).

So, that's my opinion on it. It should be left as demo data.

hi Guys,

Which was the source for Chart of Accounts we see in the ofbiz demo file DemoGeneralChartOfAccounts.xml? Is it any standard accounts set? What I am looking for is the standard set of US accounts for ecommerce middle size company with sales/purchase activity.

I would love if someone could share it with me if have one ready in xml seed file to load. Thank you.

What is in SVN is a combination of various example charts of accounts.

As far as I'm aware there is no such things as a standard chart of  
accounts, not from any governing body, and only some example ones from  
different industry bodies. For mid-size ecommerce companies? I don't  
think there is any industry consortium or the like for that.

Usually these are very customized depending on the organization, often  
witwh the help of an accountant.

We would eventually like to get a bunch of these into OFBiz, ie a  
master superset of accounts and a number of sub-sets of those for  
different industries. Of course, even those will be starting points  
and will generally require customization.

Hi guys

I hope to find some hints here

I want to create a new order in the ofbiz through webservice?

Do I have to insert the order details into every Entity such as OrderHeader,
OrderItem or other entities respectively?

Or I could cite an integral method in the ofbiz

Thanks

[David E Jones]

The best way is to "stage" the order in the ShoppingCart and related  
objects, and then use that to call the storeOrder service.
