[Phpgroupware-developers] CK-Ledger v.0.6.1 released

[C K Wu]

Hello, folks,

I have posted a new major release, v.0.6.1, of CK-Ledger, at
SourceForge.Net.

New features include a Payroll module, background Dr/Cr balance check,
additional validation check on email delivery, staff self-lodged
expense/allowance claim.  Other enhancements and bug fixes are also
included.

Since payroll and salary calculation varies greatly depending on
individual legal and corporate requirements, I have designed the Payroll
module to provide a framework that is flexible enough to handle most
situations.  Specifically, I have chosen to implement PRC's individual
income tax and Hong Kong's Mandatory Provident Fund contribution.  The
former is a pay-as-you-earn type of payroll tax with progressive higher
tax rates.  The latter requires combined employer and employee
contribution to a pension fund.  These should provide a model for other
types of staff medical insurance, pension plan, etc or other legally
required deduction from staff salary.  If you have problem implementing
payroll requirements in your local region, please send a email to
address@hidden describing your local
requirements.  If these are generally required features,   I'll try to
add enhancements in future releases to cover these requirements.

CK-Ledger (with 15 modules, Ledger Admin, Ledger, Bank Reconciliation,
Inventory, Service, AP, AR, PO, SO, Quotation, POS for Cashier, POS for
Manager, HR, Staff Self Service, Payroll) is modeled on an Open Source
accounting software and runs on top of phpGroupWare.  Operating platform
can either be LAMP or LAPP.  It provides accounting and back office
functionalities to SMEs and utilizes phpgw to administer
accounts/groups.  Demo site is located at
http://ck-ledger.sourceforge.net .   Installation Manual and Features
List are also available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-ledger .
Please report error and suggestion to the mailing list,

development of CK-Ledger is available at the mailing list's Archive.
