LedgerSMB
is a software solution developed for small-to-medium business owners and entrepreneurs, aiming to simplify their work by providing them with a financial management system.
Installing the utility requires a few components beforehand: the
Apache
web server, the
PostgreSQL
database server and also
Perl
, along with its dependencies. The web server must be able to access the ledgersmb directory, a company database must be created and valid credentials must be provided after installation to access the program as intended.
The application helps users store and manage data for each company they work with by separating entries in separate databases so that data is not accidentally deleted or overwritten. It is recommended that a standard user account with fewer permissions should be created so that it cannot be used to do permanent damage accidentally (such as deleting or overwriting databases or other sensitive data)to the system.
LedgerSMB can help users organize data including multiple addresses (for various contacts, including customers, employees or vendors), contact information (such as phone number, messenger or email addresses), bank accounts and notes. It is possible to handle data regarding account balances, transactions, taxes, sales, currency, audits, departments, warehouses, goods, services, labor, manufacturing and receipts.
