>Hi All!
>
>I am looking for a good/easy to use accounting package that I can integrate into a custom VFP module. Basically, here's the deal.
>
>I have a client that needs to do mail order processing. They get an order and build to suit the order. Not too different, say, from Gateway computers where you call up and say you want computer model X but you want a different hard drive, modem, etc.
>
>So, they need standard stuff (General Ledger, A/R, Inventory, A/P, Purchase Orders). They need Bill of Materials processing as well but the BOMP has to be modifiable at the sales order level.
>
>So, I need one of two things. If there is a package out there that you know of that does all of this, please holler. If I have to develop something, I would prefer to develop as little as possible and let the accounting system do as much as possible.
>
>So, why not use SBT? SBt is a possibility and I am looking into it. But I have to find an accounting package that is cheap (the program this company is having me write will be distributed to 50+ franchises at almost no cost to the franchise and they do not want to have a high bill for the accounting package for each franchise) that I can communicate with using VFP.
>
>One last point. Their top contender for the back end accounting program is QuickBooks. I mention this only to give you an idea of where their head is cost wise.
>
>I am open to any suggestions you have on this... please do not limit yourself by cost. If I have to, I will tell the client what is and is not possible. I just wanted to give you as much info as I can.
>
>Thank you in advance for your responses.
