I guess SQL-Ledger first designed to link bying and selling with goods.
Later on support for "virtual" goods was added - things like "support",
"Service" and "Consultancy" that is not stored in a room with the risk of
running low on amounts...

I looked it up and found the term "Cost of goods sold". in my danish
translation I made it something like "Sales expenses", but I think it
refers only to the loss of storing goods (non-virtual goods that is).

Debet or Credit transactions.

It is used in ca.pl, where I found this:

    $total += $ca->{balance};

    $drcr = " ";
    $balance = " ";
    if ($ca->{balance} > 0) {
      $balance = sprintf("%.2f", $ca->{balance});
      $drcr = $locale->text('CR');
    }
    if ($ca->{balance} < 0) {
      $balance = sprintf("%.2f", -$ca->{balance});
      $drcr = $locale->text('DR');
    }

In other words, you could translate it to "Debet" and "Credit" if those
are the terms used in the Netherlands (and Belgium).

(I'll correct this in the danish translation as well...)

Yeah, I think Dieter wanted a different wording of "payment" for selling
and buying...

I looked that up earlier, and this is my note for muyself:

gifi: General Index of Financial Information (Canadian way to collect
financial information in a codified format)
