For the 5 time, the French company Open-DSI, launch a collaborative financing for Accounting module.
The goal is to have collaborative financing to enhance the Accounting core module of Dolibarr.
All the development financed will be posted on the core (on GitHub) and being open-source.
This development is foreseen to be integrated in 2022, and will be part of Dolibarr V16.
Like every year (but the first time on the English forum ), we need more of you to go higher and further!
As the previous edition (2019), it happens on the platform kiss kiss bank
Kiss Kiss Bank Bank Platform
We are sorry for the English readers because the project description is in French and the platform doesn’t allow multi-language content.
Here is a quick list of features planned to date that will evolve thanks to you :
The 1st step is the redesign of the lettering system.
The 2nd step is about fixed assets.
The 3rd step on the automation of the generation of accounting
…and then, a vote will be organized for the higher levels !
We count on you to follow the link above to participate and contribute to the improvement of your favorite tool!
The first step is almost already secured (2300 € / 2400 €) !
If we have somes questions because all the content is in french, I can give reponses. Don’t hesitate !
And thanks in advance for all the future contributor.
For the next levels, a poll is ongoing to decide, what should be done :
“Annual closing”: In order to finance the completion of this part, to get closer and closer to an accounting software within your favorite tool.
This concerns the automatic generation of an a-new entry to open the new accounting year, closing of previous accounts and blocking of entries on closed years (requires checking the dates of entries of operations on all modules writing in accounting.
“Status Invoice”: To finalize this functionality and make it available to all users.
This hidden functionality, for the moment, allowing to carry out invoices of situation (Invoice BTP of progress of building sites in particular) must be redeveloped with tests of integration pushed following a bad integration (Method of recording in data base with the progress rather than by difference).
Why propose it on a participative financing accounting? Accounting is directly impacted because it affects the invoice module. This module is the basis for the generation of many accounting entries.

“API development” : You can now connect third party tools to Dolibarr by reading information or by inserting data (Woo-commerce sync for example). However this part is totally missing on the accounting module!
You want to make Dolibarr accounting communicate with a third party tool? You are at the right place, press this feature to enter for example accounting operations in Dolibarr from a payroll software knowing how to communicate by API.
The company that is launching this initiative is a French one, and historically this initiative was launched since several years, on Dolibarr French Community, that’s why the development description is in French.
