Warehouse Management System

Warehouse Management System

[Esben Stien]

Does org-mode have some kind of warehouse management system?

Like how many items foo and how many items bar and when you remove x
amount of item bar, where did it go?

One way to hack it would be to use a heading for each item, then use
clock-in and clock-out, like +1 and -1;) to somehow track taking stuff
out of the warehouse and putting something in there;)

..or some org-invoice hack..

This is probably doable, but does org-mode have some other way to do this?

You might look at ledger, a pretty awesome accounting system. I think
people have hacked together some cross-support between ledger and org --
ie org link ids on ledger transactions, etc. It looks like worg has a
couple of pages on using them together.

Hmm, I got curious about this, and googled a bit, and found your thread
on the ledger list asking about org links in ledger files. So I guess
I'm not telling you anything you don't already know :)
