Hi, folks,

I have posted a new release, v.0.24.1, of CK-ERP, at SourceForge.Net, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-erp .

New features include,

a connector for LegalCase and updated connectors for ClearHealth, OpenEMR and osCommerce, facilities to convert sales order to purchase order and/or material/service requisition so as to procure the required material/service after a sale is concluded, addition of a sample law office chart of accounts and a sample medical practice chart of accounts, addition of Australian GST tax rate and updating of Canadian GST tax rate, addition of narrow/wide display option for the various case handling screens, addition of customer, vendor, employee contact lists, and, addition of German translation for the Quotation module.

Special thank is due to David Epperson of Dallas for permission to make use of the "Law Firm Chart of Accounts" (located at http://www/txethics.org/TCLEPCOURSE2005/omlp/sec11.1.pdf) while generating the sample law office chart of accounts. The effort by Stefan Kemper of Switzerland in producing the new German translations is also gratefully acknowledged.

[Please note that the sample medical practice chart of accounts is designed for countries/regions where medical doctors are allowed to dispense prescription drugs within their medical practices. If the relevant medical practice is operating within a jurisdiction where doctors are prohibited from dispensing drugs, then it may be a prudent measure to delete all the drug sale, COGS – drugs, inventory – drugs and related accounts to avoid a presumption that in-practice drug sale had been planned.]
