Eekboek
All boekhoud docs have been moved to the boekhouding projects doc page. This page has been stripped to be about eekboek only.
All bookkeeping actions are now done with digibtw, eekboek really can remain archived.
A Dutch commandline tool for Bookkeeping. What more do you want ?
Installation
Important
The description below runs into trouble with postgres installation, so it is probably wise to install eekboek and the -postgres addition via apt-get first, and than do the cpan install if a newer version is needed.
Mostly with cpan, but on a clean installation of debian i also had to install :
| preliminaries | |
|---|---|
And then start cpan and install eekboek
This should get you two commands, one textual (ebshell) on graphical(ebwxshell). I actually never really tried the graphical one. Without any files to start with you get into the wizard. By all means tryout the example.
| startup | |
|---|---|
Configuration
You should have a set of files to build upon or generate some new ones.
Tip
If you make an (intentional) error in the opening.eb file you get some interesting info text
usage
As of 2018 I manage 2 different bookkeeping's, to compare and to transition into the web bookkeeping : informer on-line. My account is very simple, but that does not mean the bookkeeping is. There are however some posts that are always in the same form and once I found out how to use them it's filling in from there on.
These posts are described below:
Costs
Simply all those expenses that are deductible from the profit, everything you need to perform work. Mostly this is payed directly, so every booking is one with two lines :
| costs | |
|---|---|
Eekboek will handle the vat automatically based on the dates. The VAT will be deducted in Q2 of 2016 and the rest will be deducted from total income.
Payments
That's more like it, luckily my invoices and payments are always for a complete month, so these also appear in two lines :
| payments | |
|---|---|
This time bank is positive since we receive it. Simply add two lines with the correct dates for each payment of the year.
