Thanks,

this is good - if you are a accounting rookie. But if you are trying to
move a software from one
context to another, ie from one accounting standard to another, from one
language to another, from one line of business to another. You need
something else.
The key is correct conception and use of terms. A "reference" whould be
helpful to understand the concepts and then how to move SQL-Ledger to a
new context and an existing knowlage.

What is COGS? Is it equivalent to the swedish term "KSV", Kostnad f=F6r
f=F6rS=E5ld Vara? What is SKU? etc. If the term COGS where defined some
where as Cost of Goods Sold it would be a much easier task to understand
this piece of software. In most dictionaries for accountants "Cost of
goods sold" is indexed but not COGS.
