New But it won't work off-the-shelf
Accounting programs track dollars. All the screens/forms will assume that there's only one unit of measure in use. Inventory needs multiple units.

I also don't think most accounting programs are set up for the type of availability scheduling he needs. I'm sure there are inventory apps that already handle this. It's just a question of how much they cost.

I have a phone that doesn't ring, a line that doesn't sting, a letter never sent... I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall... HA! THAT DON'T PAY THE RENT!
