I am about to use Dolibarr with the accounting module here in Denmark and do not know if it is approval here. I would like it to be so, I need some info.
Is the Dolibarr/Accounting approved in France ?
Here is the main tree rules for bookeeping in Denmark ,
I think Doli is fits the bill, all thought not the digital e-invoice in/out (yet).
The Bookkeeping Act sets a number of requirements for digital standard bookkeeping systems, they are listed in the tabs as so-called main requirements:
§ 15, no. 1
Support a continuous registration of the company’s transactions with the indication of appendices for each registration and safe storage of registrations and appendices for five years.
§ 15, no. 2
Meet recognised standards for IT security, including for user and access management, and ensure automatic backup of records and appendixes.
§ 15, no. 3
Support the automatisation of administrative processes, including the automatic sending and receiving of e-invoices and the possibility of entering in accordance with a public standard chart of accounts in registered accounting systems.
I have thought about the same, but since we are a non profit forening I don’t think the same rules applies to us.
§ 15, no. 1
I think this requirement is fulfilled.
Transactions are recorded, at least those I have looked it, but I also don’t yet import bank statements into Dolibarr, I only use it for membership registration, for dance class and event registration, for expense reports, for vendor orders - both incl approvement.
If you enable “Unalterable Archives” then it is clearly so.
“safe storage” a database administrator can most likely change, delete, edit and/or modify the data in the database - but a regular user can not
§ 15, no. 2
User and access management yes, that is covered, different users have different permissions.
You can make a dump of the database and copy all the files uploaded to Dolibarr, but Dolibarr itself does not have an option to backup this.
I have a OIOUBL module cooking and right now it can do invoice/credit out and I think it would be possible.
And there is a bank import module from ATM working so almost there.
But I wonder if there is any on writing about a France or other approval ?
Dolibarr does have a section in “Admin Tools” for Backups (both for the database and physical files)
Dolibarr also has a “Scheduled Jobs” section where you can schedule these backups to be performed every x time (I do a database dump EVERY HOUR)
Obviously, other types of backups are recommended. In my case, I use “borg” for compressed, deduplicated, and incremental backup to a remote server, every hour. But that’s already each person’s choice.
By the way, it’s unlikely that backup management would be effectively handled by the same software you’re trying to backup
The most sensible, useful, flexible, and powerful approach is to use a specific backup tool.
I want to take this opportunity to promote the opensource software borgbackup, which is simply fabulous… almost too good to be true!
I’ve been using it for almost two years, and it’s simply amazing. I have a 1TB StorageBox from Hetzner (Germany) where I store incremental copies of hundreds of websites and Dolibarrs, hour by hour, and they don’t even take up 10% of the StorageBox space!!!
The magic doesn’t just come from compression, but from the fact that they’re incremental copies, and best of all: DE-DUPLICATION!!
In short: files are segmented into small chunks, which are indexed so that the same chunk isn’t stored twice, but rather just a symbolic link! This means that if you have backups of dozens of Dolibarr instances (or any other CMS), common files are only stored once in the repository. This is brutally effective.
In short, I can only recommend it. It has brought me much joy, when with just one Linux terminal command, I can check the copies of a repository and recover just ONE DIRECTORY or ONE FILE from one of those copies in seconds. It’s wonderful.
I will apply Danish “Erhverstyrelsen” for approval of Dolibarr in Denmark.
There is one other platform that is opensource but there lack of support and has no really future because there code sucks and dated !!
