PostBooks is an open source erp, accounting and CRM business system geared toward small to medium sized businesses. It is released under a CPAL license and is thus free software. PostBooks is maintained as an open source project on SourceForge.net but is based on the commercially licensed OpenMFG ERP system created by xTuple, a private software company based in Norfolk, VA. The name PostBooks is derived from three aspects of the project. First "Post" alludes to the common concept of posting journals in accounting. Second, the name refers to the project's technological roots as it runs exclusively on the PostgreSQL database. Finally, the name suggests PostBooks as a logical step of progression for businesses that have outgrown the popular QuickBooks small business accounting product by Intuit.  [edit]  Less
