I think Russell Adams gives a hint at the problem: > I'm faced with needing the ability to integrate it into some business > workflows (ie: expense reporting, invoicing cycles, tax reporting, > etc) which I'll have to write all of the logic myself. I can use > Ledger for the data, but I have to code the workflows I require. With the introduction of org-invoice, I can begin to see my way through this muddled mess. Ideally, when I generate an invoice, I could verify that all was correct and invoke some sort of “send-to-client” function that would make an entry in ledger's “Accounts Receivable” as well as emailing the invoice to the client (or updating FreshBooks, or what have you). Another idea is budgeting: Org and its tables seems like natural fit for this. If I could easily tie org to ledger accounts, maybe I could see when I'm spending more than is budgeted. Or if I keep track of a “TO BUY” list in org and need to save money for some big ticket item, maybe I could have Org query ledger to see how much money I have saved. Pie-in-the-sky ideas, and my use of ledger as-yet is non-existent, but this would really help.
