Ledger Invoicing

[Russell Adams]

I've put together a tentative method for creating invoices from
billable hours. Included are a quick howto, chart of accounts, and a
shell script that generates nice PDF invoices via latex using ledger
data. A sample PDF is included.

Not yet a project, just a branch:

http://code.launchpad.net/~rladams/+junk/LedgerInvoicingExample

This is way alpha, but I'll be tweaking it to use in my business in
the coming months. If there is additional interest I'll see about
rolling it into a proper project.

I had some comments on IRC, yes the output is totally
customizable. The shell script supports new headers, logos, etc. The
output can be completely customized in latex.

Feedback is welcome.

Thanks.

...some time passes...

Hey, this is a really nice complete example of one way to generate invoices. Definitely worth updating (-s obsolete ?) and presenting it nicely somewhere it'll be found.

Could be cool to see this updated to a beta version, and maybe added to
contrib?

Cool, I've been thinking that ledger is the perfect format for invoices. You can send one in an email, and it's both human readable, and can be copied and pasted into the machine.
