School project, chart of accounts
Tomorrow is the first day of my senior year in high school and we are
required to do a sort of exam-project. I'm studying science with emphasis on
computer science. Some of my friends study social science with an emphasis
on economy. We have discussed a joint effort involving OFBiz.
The only problems we have right now is to implement the standard chart of
account used in Sweden. I understand that messing with the
ChartOfAccount.xml would lead to a copious amount of work. That is why I
would like to ask the community what I should expect and keep in mind.
Regards
Carl

David,
I've searched the resources for GlAccountId and explained it to my friends.
Seems like the types and classes are pretty tied up. However, we are pretty
confident that we could make the chart of account if we just translate the
entity labels and go thru them. Soon we will also consult our teacher on
whether we can use the account classes available.

Apache OFBiz is a pretty large project and the result of hundreds of
thousands of man-hours of effort done by lots of people with lots of
experience.
For any project like this I'd recommend that you keep your scope
extremely small, unless you're really planning to invest a lot of
time into this. In essence, if at first glance what you're trying
seems really easy then that's a good way to go as it will take a lot
more time that you might think to understand related parts of the
system and such.
The main thing for the chart of accounts is to understand all of the
related entities. Try searching all of the seed data files for
something like "glAccountId" to see all of the data related to the
GlAccount.
