Double-Entry Trade ERP

An ERP rebuilt around the plaintext-accounting model, extending double-entry accounting to double-entry trade between parties. It includes a textual DSL for modeling business scenarios (e.g., a sale spanning multiple invoices across countries and currencies) plus intermediate steps like transportation and manufacturing, and aims to collapse typical ERP complications with a simplified price engine that avoids dynamic calculations for most cases.

    “Rebuilding my ERP to work more like the model of https://plaintextaccounting.org, where I expanded the idea of `double entry accounting` to `double entry trade between parties`, plus several other ideas for what I see a way to collapse a lot of complications that are typically for ERP systems.”
