I have done some work on this. I was going to contribute my work back to 
community when it was finished but I have not had the spare time reqired 
to finish. I don't currently run an IC shop though so it hasn't been a 
high priority.

Interchange has an interface for in Vend::Accounting.pm and 
Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger.pm that was introduced by Mike fairly early 
in the 4.9 releases. The problem is that it is only one way, basically 
Interchange does everything then posts a AR invoice to somerize the 
transaction. That means that your inventory is only maintained by 
interchage, it doesn't use any of SL's inventory features. Making 
difficult for your sales rep's/whoever to do sales orders/invoices from SL 
without first checking inventory in IC and it throws your finacial 
statments out onless you manually adjust your COGS and inventory accounts, 
if I can recall correctly.

Another problem is that Vend::Accounting::SQL_Ledger.pm only works with 
old versions of SQL Ledger and it needs direct online access to your 
accounting database.

I might be able to get back to working on this if there is enough intrest.
