this to have source code (like Gerald Dukes).
The modules I need are:

PR
P/O (not required, but would be nice)
Invoicing
Needs to be multi-user and multi-company.
Thanks for any suggestions. BTW, is Gerald Duke out of business, I couldn't
locate anything on him on the net.

I had purchased the Payroll module from KV Enterprise a couple of months
ago. Until now, they haven't even give me a program that is complete. All
the source sent by them to be cannot be compile into a complete program at
all.
They promised, promised, promised and finally disappeared. After that, I
have not receive any mail from them. I paid USD399, if I have not recall
wrongly.
My advice, do not purchase until they settle my module.
Thanks.

I had been selling Accounting Packages since 1988, and I myself is a Master
Degree in Accounting. Just in certain occassion when my lazy bone simply do
not want to work, hoping to pick up some good codes around, just modify it
and maintain it. But I might be wrong...
I did not press K V Enterprise very hard, as I understand the problems of
programming, I love to be a programmer, if only I do not need to meet all
this datelines (deadline??? Dead by then). Everyday, I simply keep my
fingers crossed, hoping that one fine day, they may complete the Payroll
module and send me a copy .
So far, I had experienced and deemed that as far as Clarion is concerned,
there are few vendors which you can trust and believe;
Capesoft

You are correct of course. Having a degree in business and accounting, and
having kept books for a number of companies, from the old manual ledgers to
computer accounting, I have no desire to delve into all the intricate
relationships of all the ledgers and supporting ledgers.
The only data I desire to export/import is the the invoice/payable data. My
program at the present has a form holding all the information, Bill To, Ship
To, Amount to bill,Carrier, Total to Carrier (the payable) etc.
It would be quite easy to have this app generate the invoice. Next step I
see is to export only this information to an accounting app without typing
it all over again.
Im my case, that is as far as I want to take it. I hate doing accounting

The worst thing in my mind (about this at least<g>) is keeping it up to date,
even if it is the most perfect CW accounting on the planet.
Every time GAAP, the IRS or some other fed or state yahoo changes something,
accounting packages have to change. I have my doubts that KV, Duke etc are
capable of keeping up with that. I know Im not.
Don Harvey
Yes, I am referring to Mike. I have both QuickBooks and MYOB. MYOB has
been a super accounting package for me and the reason I purchased QuickBooks
was because of its interface with TurboTax.
I haven't had the time to explore QuickBooks, but most of my clients use it
and like it. Should'nt be difficult to switch the accounting over and that
way will be in sync and know exactly what happens with live data.

I have been away from computers for the last few days and therefore have not
jumped into this fray yet. <g> I want to address the thread as a whole so
this is not meant just for you Don.
I see nothing wrong with Dukes Accounting. However, please note that most
of his stuff is *NOT* accounting. Accounting is G/L *period*. All the rest
is either RECORDKEEPING OR BOOKKEEPING. Some of it is even SALES
MANAGEMENT. And in other cases it is BUSINESS MANAGEMENT of some kind. You
know, those Business Rules they talk about once in a while. Manufacturing,
Warehousing, Services, etc.....
Accounting is the same same same from business to business, although the
"setup" for the Chart Of Accounts usually is different for various
businesses.
You want two ACCOUNTING reports from the G/L, Financial (Position and
Change) Statement and Profit and Loss (Income and Expense - P&L) Statement.
That's it!!! All the rest are bookkeeping, recordkeeping, business and
sales management reports and not accounting reports.
As for recordkeeping and bookkeeping, they can vary all over the place from
business to business and even between two different businesses of the same
"kind". And if you are cheating on your taxes, they are even *more*
different. <g>
So what the inexperienced "business owner and/or developer" says when they
look at someone else's "Accounting Package" is.... "It's no good. Won't
work for my business."
I've heard it a thousand times. <g>
That may very well be true but let's put the blame where it really belongs.
Many times IMHO, the blame belongs with the business owner because they do
not know how to read a financial statement but usually do (but not always
<g>) know to read an income and expense report.
In Dukes case, he has written stuff that is generic enough so that most
anyone *THAT CAN FIGURE OUT HOW* can very easily modify it to do *their
unique job* with minimum difficulty. It probably will not fit "anyone's"
situation when one first get's Duke's stuff BECAUSE it was MEANT to be
modified to fit a unique situation. So in that fashion, Duke's stuff was
"meant" to be "incomplete" and the developer needs to be savvy enough to
*make* it complete. In many cases that's a really easy job. <grinnnnn>
Someone talked about changing screens. Hey.... I don't like some of his
screens either, but if you get 50 developers doing it you are going to get
50 different screen layouts.
However, if all one wants is a very generic system, Dukes stuff will work
just fine the way it is. <grinnnnnn>
But then, one needs to know how to setup the chart of accounts. <g>
Another thing that crops up in my mind about now is that this thread proves
a point I made elsewhere about the difference between Developers,
Programmers and Coders.
IMHO, a Developer will take Dukes stuff and go to town with it. A
Programmer will usually say what's being said in this thread. A (tricky)
Coder will refuse to even look at it because he/she will want to do their
own tricky code version. <grinnnn>
So I say to Ken Knight, go for Dukes stuff and if you have questions, what
the hey, ask me privately if you want. You will also learn how to write
apps using Clarion without 3rd party addin's.
and my .02 too...

That is done in the setup of the chart of accounts and needs to be dealt
with by the businesses Accountant on an individual basis. Accounting is
accounting is accounting so it makes no difference what "GAAP system" is
used and the difference is in how one uses the system. If the tax laws
change, you change the chart of accounts and the way they are used in making
the P&L and Income Statement to fit the new tax law change.

I agree to a point. All accounting starts from the very basic equation of
Asset = Liability + Capital (except in the case of government). From that
point on it can get as sophiscated as one wants it to be.
If I just needed to develop accounting for this business, the source from
Duke and others may well be a good place to start. But I am not. This app
is sold to mainly smaller brokers with revenue between 1 and 3 million.
What about keeping up with tax tables for 48 states? Generating a myriad of
reports for the government. All this comes into play no matter the term
accounting, record keeping, bookkeeping, etc.
MYOB, Peach Tree, QuickBooks all do an excellent job. The problem, as you
most correctly stated, lies with the business owner that does not understand
the basics of accounting.
For example, I get calls all the time from these small brokerages that
invariably tell me "Well, MYOB or whatever won't work here because we have
to bill Number of Miles X Rate Per Mile, and we have to bill Extra Drops,
Layover, Tarp Charges, Fuel Surcharges, etc. and these packages insist on
selling products and keeping inventory."
And I reply, oh really, have you every thought about going into inventory
and set up a non inventoried item to sell and name one Miles, give a
description Product delivered per attached B/L. Set another item named
Layover and so forth.
And the reply always is, "Oh, I never thought about that". A basic flaw of
not thinking and using a nifty little accounting package to the best
possible advantage.
So, no thanks to developing accounting <g> I will stick with the big boys
that always have current tax tables, etc. and "think" about how to link
just a few items to avoid duplicate keying of information.
Mike, hurry up with those templates <g>.

True, but neither myself nor my clients are coherent enough to do this for
them each year (and I dont have time to do it). The last thing I want to issue
is individualized accounting advice. While this sounds stupid (I think it
does), many people substitute "QuickBooks" for "my accountant". You know what
happens then.
If the accounting code is "mine", then they expect accounting answers from me.
This has been proven historically in this clientele. Its not right, but its
what happens. I deal with clients whose annual revenue is anywhere from 50k to
10MM. I dont get accounting advice hassles from the big guys, of course (they
just want integration). I get them from the little ones. They want to know
what the difference is between cash and accrual. Why they should be accrual
instead of cash (because 99% of them take deposits MONTHS in advance) and so
on. Not my job to be their accountant, especially for free<g>
Someday, I intend to have a CPA on staff to provide a turnkey solution like
these people need (but not for free). That someday is not today<g>

This is not true. I've been developing and maintaining accounting systems
for years. I maintain systems for CPAs, public companies and others.
Sometimes, a change in GAAP will require the presentation of a report to
change.
If you hard code your financial statements (which all the CW ones I've seen
do) then yes, it's a pain to maintain.
I don't hardcode reports. The last major change in reporting was regarding
the statement of cash flows which required adding some capabilities to the
financial statement processors.

Hmmm. When I took the CPA exam they sure had alot a bookkeeping on it
then.<g>
I see what you are trying to say (I think) and that is.......
In reality there is only the G/L. They rest are SUBLEDGERS intended to
summarize activity for the General Ledger. Every entry made in a subledger
affects the G/L. When an entry is made to record a sale and it records an
increase in a/r, sales tax payable, reduced WIP or determines COGS according
to a GAAP method, it's accounting. It may be automated, but it's
accounting.

I guess this is directed at my previous comments about Duke/Rad/Kve not
being up to par.
My "inexperience" (Degree in accounting, Public Practice for 10 years,
private practice for 10, 15 years of maintaining and modifying accounting
systems for CPA, F100s, etc) tells me that the underlying structure design
is not open enough to handle a wide variety of situations I would need to
make it a good investment of my time.

Well I think you have the Developer and Programmer mixed up.
Developers usually evaluate things before they include them in a project.
I know you use Duke's stuff for your own products. It may work for you in
your vertical.
My perspective is bent because of my background.
My reporting requirements are probably much more complex.
None of the packages I've seen to date are up to MY par in what I expect in
an accounting system.

I do not know accounting, as one man's meal is another man poison.
As far as I know, accounting is very very basic, it is simply debits and
credits, 50 vs 50, nothing much simpler than this. But... the operational
part is the headache..
Just think that it is never prudent to compare apples and oranges, no doubt
that they are both fruits..

Thats the kind of stuff Im talking about. I dont have the time to monitor the
accounting trades or Federal Register or whatever you monitor to keep a
handle on this sort of thing. The code changes are probably the smallest

package. I have no opinion one way or the other as to any accounting source
shells available for Clarion. You seem to be a somewhat experienced
individual with modifying accounting systems. And this thread has made me
somewhat curious.
Some questions:
1) What do you use for an accounting/bookeeping package?
2) What ---exactly--- is not open enough in structure in what you have seen?
3) What is the base package of design/features that you are using for
comparison?
4) What is your basic design criteria and set of features for an accounting
package?
5) What ---specific--- industries are you dealing with in the customized
parts?
6) What size (in revenue) are the individual companies you are dealing with?
7) Would you create a basic design DCT with all the necessary file
structures and post here?
8) Would you consider selling your accounting package as an accounting
shell?

Surely SUBLEDGERS don't summarize activity from the General Ledger?
They record the detail & only the summary goes into the General Ledger?
What was called bookkeeping above is simply using separate sub systems
to hold in more detail, & with more ability to interrogate, but essentially the
same information.
Excuse my limited knowledge of american terminology, but the Accounts
Payable sub system is merely a detailed database of what is held in
the General ledger Account called Accounts Payable Control Account.
Ditto for Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Payroll etc. All of these sub
systems hold info that definitely is part of your General Ledger, just in
more detail.

Packages like MYOB etc are great for small business's or non accounting
people. My personal favorite is Accpac from Computer Associates. Not
easy to come to grips with, and expensive, but never not been able to
achieve what I wanted to using it. The crappiest big system I have used
is SAP. Like MS, the worst systems often become the most popular.

however, I like others must deal with clients who must have accounting. I
saw a mention of a Clarion interface with Quick Books. Is it real DDE with
Quick Books, or just export/import files to Quick Books. I am very
interested in finding an interface to Quick Books to get away from
export/import.
