Hello,

So with my current software I have not been able to consider "alterations/modification out of the box is what you get.

I have been pounding away at trying to learn FA and understand mySQL for a few months now and have it pretty much under control and am ready to give FA a true test run.

I did a search and found a post about sharing a database between companies and while it was informative I only understood about a third of it and it did not really address my need.

I consult with several Independent Representatives of the same company and while I do want to keep their data separate they do utilize the same inventory list.

So is there a way to create a database of just the inventory ( items, cost, price, supplier, maybe GL accounting info) and then when there is an addition or deletion I could update all the company databases with like a sync command rather than editing each company by hand?

Any way I have converted my wife's accounting from QB and I am trying to "stress" FA as best I can for my purposes and seems to be exactly what is needed for my purpose.

Thanks,
Bill

I do not mean to be brash but...1 year later and no response to the question.
I believe that frontaccounting may be the best thing on the market but it is not user friendly. the instructions for importing inventory is about as clear as mud. I my old program I have a spreadsheet that has...Item number, supplier id, category, description quantity, cost, price...everything you would need to create a purchase order and or an invoice. I see no clear way of adding inventory. The items screen does not allow for supplier, cost, price, quantity...
I just added a product and then tried to create an invoice. what is up with the price after taxes?.. I have to do the calculation?
I would love to have a chat with some one who actually uses this program.

Joshua,

The project I am working on for which I am studying FrontAccounting has me a bit confused. I believe you could shed some light on the subject. Would you please contact me off this forum at whtemple1959@gmail.com?

Thanks,
Bill

Hello,
I have no programming knowledge but I know that when you get this module up and running it will be well recieved by all users. Has anybody from FrontAccounting been assisting you?

I look forward to seeing some movement in this direction. I have been using quickbooks and versacheck to print my checks on blank stock. The capability of FrontAccounting to preform this operation will be most attractive to users.
