oscommerce accounting

[Guest]

Hello,

 

has anyone come across an accounting add-on to oscommerce? All I could find are separate programs like turbocash and osfinancial that communicate with oscommerce, but I'm looking for something that is part of oscommerce.

 

Most of the information is already in oscommerce - customer names, address', qty and product purchased etc.. half of the inventory management is there, would it be difficult to add the other half - ordering from suppliers (ordered, received, back order) to run in conjunction with what I said above? and while looking at an inventory management why not add general expenses to have a complete accounting system part of oscommerce? I understand that every country is doing its thing with taxes but those calculations are already done for shipping purposes, why not do the same for vendor orders and general expenses?

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated and if anyone reading this thread thinks/feel that they could program this let me know i'm very much interested even at a cost.

 

Thanks

Pete

seriously, if you want something that is worth while for accounting, purchase QuickBooks Pro and add the Quick Books addon. That will automatically download all your osc info to your quick books.. It is the easiest program to learn and not to expensive inthe grand scheme of things.. AND, they have premier where you can buy industry specific versions

I used simply accounting long time ago, I had quick books Pro, I looked at turbocash and osfinacial, but you know what for a simple site that I have, the bells are whistles are too much. now I use excel to keep track, it's simple, it's quick and it gives me all the info I need. I don;t need the add-on to calculate asset depreciation and stock options and what have you, just simple sell to customer, buy from vendor and take care of my misc. expenses needed to run an online website....l

you still need to file taxes, retail, income, etc. I understand that you CAN use a spread sheet, but that seems MORE complicated than just getting the basic Quick Books.. That is just my opinion, and since i am a book keeper by trade, its somewhat slighted.. but still.. For $200 or so, you can get a basic QB and have everything automated and VERY simple.. If you get it at costco you can get it for even cheaper

I agree with you, but everything is going online, take google for example, so wouldn't it be nice if you could have at least the complete inventory online - accessible from anywhere, even supplier site??? and I don't think it would take much to do, unfortunately I'm not a programmer :-( so I can't do it myself.

I do think Quickbooks is your best bet. You can use 3rd party software to integrate your inventory and quickbooks synchronization.
