It is very normal in FICO solutions to have as much as possible a
separation of concern implemented. This is applicable with regards to
inbound and outbound money flows (AR vs AP), and in and outbound flow of
goods (and the valueation thereof in FICO). For that (larger) companies
ensure that people involved in AR would not have access to functions in AP.
But in more sophisticated ERP solutions that also applicable with the
financial aspects of Asset Maint (that OFBiz has in the special purpose
application Asset Maint),stock movements, the wages,tax, pensions and soc
sec administration of personell , and liquid asset (cash, banks and cc-)
administration.
All these are normally handled in sub accounting solutions (as are AR and
AP, stock) where transactions are registered per identified item (ie the
customer, supplier, stock item) and consolidated in transactions entries in
the general part of FICO.
