Looking For Simple Accounting/Inventory Management System - Was OpenERP

[Mark Phillips]

Stephen,

Thanks for your replay. I have been reading and playing with it, and it
seems that it might be over kill for what I need. I should have started this
thread with what I need to get some suggestions, so I will hijack my own
thread and start again....

I have the following requirements to track the business operations for my
non-profit company:
1. track donors and donations by donor. Don't need a complex relationship
management application - just track how much each person has donated for end
of the year reports.
2. inventory - small, maybe 100 items at most
3. sales
4. a/r
5 a/p
6. asset tracking - we run on a cash basis, so everything is expensed when
purchased. I just need a way to know which volunteer has which asset to keep
track of them. No depreciation or write-offs. Could probably do this in the
inventory.
7. generate an end of the year income statement and balance sheet for the
IRS.
8. reconcile against my bank statements

I have been doing all this with spreadsheets, but it is cumbersome. I have
tried gnucash, but it does not have inventory management. Also, I have
several times messed up my debits and credits, so I am spending too much
time learning accounting fundamentals for it to be useful.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Thanks,

Mark
