Package: eekboek (2.04-1)

Bookkeeping software for small and medium-size businesses

EekBoek is a bookkeeping package for Dutch users; it creates reports such as a balance sheet ("Balans"), a general journal ("Journaal"), a general ledger ("Grootboek") and a VAT report ("BTW-aangifte").

Unlike other accounting software, EekBoek has a command-line interface: The EekBoek Shell (with tab completion). It uses a database as back end: either PostgreSQL (using the eekboek-db-postgresql package) or SQLite. Interoperability is a key feature of EekBoek: editable text dumps of all your data are possible at any time. EekBoek can generate an "XML Auditfile Financieel" (XAF) as used by Dutch tax office. Furthermore, it has a complete Perl API to create your own custom applications.

The EekBoek documentation is available in Dutch only.

If you'd like to use EekBoek with a PostgreSQL back end (instead of the default SQLite), install the package eekboek-db-postgresql. If you'd like to use the Eekboek GUI, install the suggested package eekboek-gui.
