Further thoughts on small business features

[Al Snell]

1) Accruals and prepayments could be modelled with a depreciation system,
without needing much extra code (just a UI for setting up accruals and
prepayments, probably).

My year's rental of a rack could be modelled, instead of an expense, as a
transfer of cash into an asset representing the service owed to me, but
with depreciation set up such that that asset's balance will have been
transferred (in monthly/weekly/dialy/whatever installments) into a
nominated expense account. Likewise with people paying me money for
services.

2) The idea of providing "tax types" on transactions to automatically
transfer a part of the transaction value to a tax expense account could,
if the way in which taxes are specified is flexible enough, be used to
model bank transaction charges and the like too - which are often subject
to minimum/maximum charges, nonlinear percentages of the transaction value
(such as different rates for diferent price ranges), etc...
