Website outdated infos - Want to check it out regardless!
Hey, I just stumbled upon your software as we are looking to streamline our accounting away from Excel. I also saw you have invoicing, for which we have been using InvoiceNinja the last years but we keep stumbling upon silly limitations.
So I wanted to check out LedgerSMB but the Demo subpage is 10 years old and links to a non-working cloud provider. So I guess I need to set it up to try, which is also not that big of a deal...
What I am curious about is German law compliance - is there an option to make a DATEV-compatible accounting export to deliver the tax? Can it handle expenses by employees? Are the invoice templates in a format that fits the letterhead nicely into a letter window? (that trivial polish has been missing in Ninja and nobody bothers!)
We are actively working on improving the installation process.
While not totally debugged and ready for release, you try the instructions at https://get.ledgersmb.org. Please report any problems with this method. We are making improvements daily and it is a very high priority to get released.
The current recommended way to install, not using the above, is to use a docker container. See https://github.com/ledgersmb/ledgersmb-docker.
If you need more specific help, please add an issue here, or contact us on Matrix
Sorry, I do not know answer to the question about German law.

In the past, I searched for documentation of what DATEV is and what requirements they have. In principle, the answer is "Yes", because all templates receive the entire balance sheet: the PDF output, HTML output and CSV output are all based on the same input. However, to know if this addresses your requirements entirely, a closer check will be required. If it's not covered and the differences are small, I guess the project is happy to serve you and add what it is that is missing.
Can it handle expenses by employees?
Not at the moment; this was recently discussed as a nice addition.
Are the invoice templates in a format that fits the letterhead nicely into a letter window? (that trivial polish has been missing in Ninja and nobody bothers!)
The PDF invoices can be defined in LaTeX/TeX or in HTML. Both allow quite exact positioning of content in the PDF output. Therefore I'm inclined to say "yes".

@xeruf , @Anonymo : While not the demo, I can provide you with a sandbox environment to play with, if you are interested.
yeah open for a sandbox :) if this project serves us well we are very happy to contribute long-term
https://demo.cloud.efficito.com/erp/1.5/ is still a bad gateway, any updates here? :)
