Ed, I have a huge expenses setup for Ledger.
The workflow is straightforward: - Spend money & collect receipts - Scan receipts (I use Shoeboxed.com) - Download CSV from my credit card - Use CSV2Ledger to import CC data into Ledger format - Tag expenses with project code and receipt - Generate an expense report from Ledger data via Perl script into Latex for PDF publishing - Distribute the PDF Ledger works GREAT at this, and I heavily abuse metadata to allow me to do project cost accounting. On the other hand, it's still a pretty manual process. My biggest issue is consistency, a data entry widget to enforce metadata and ledger formatting would go a long way. Come hang out on IRC sometime and ask more. Maybe we can find a way to make a "skeleton" workflow to share. Thanks.
