RE: [Phpgroupware-users] CK-Ledger v.0.3.1 released

[Bob Crandell]

Hi,

One of the things that bother me about SQL-Ledger is it won't reconcile bank
statements yet.  It is on his todo list.  Does CK-Ledger?

I'm not an accountant and all I know about it is debits are closest to the
window.  I'm in the position of needing someone else to tell me if it's what I
want/need.  What's SME?

Thanks.
