This Ruby gem provides a double entry accounting system for use in any Rails application. It stores all the data via ActiveRecord in the SQL database.
- Journal entries with two or more postings follow the Double Entry principle
- Accounts (including subaccounts and groups)
- Taxes
- Cost centers
- Balance sheets
- Profit and loss statements
- DATEV exports
- Ruby 3.0+
- Rails 6.1+ (including Rails 7.1)
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'keepr'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install keepr
After installation run the following:
rails g keepr:migration
rails db:migrate
This will create the database migration files and add new models.
All accounting entries are stored inside "accounts", per standard accounting principles. To create an account, use the following format:
Keepr::Account.create!(number: 27, name: 'Software', kind: :asset)
"kind" is one of following values:
[asset liability revenue expense forward debtor creditor]
Accounts can have "child" accounts. All entries posted in a child account will be shown in the "parent" account as well. To create a child account:
account_1400 = Keepr::Account.create!(number: 1400, name: 'Software', kind: :expense)
account_14001 = Keepr::Account.create!(number: 14001, name: 'Rails', parent: account_1400 , kind: :expense)
Accounts can be organised inside of groups:
group = Keepr::Group.create!(is_result: true, target: :liability, name: 'foo')
Keepr::Account.create!(number: 100, name: 'Trade payable', kind: :liability, keepr_group: group)
Groups also allow a parent/child hierarchy:
parent_group = Keepr::Group.create!(is_result: true, target: :liability, name: 'foo')
child_group = parent_group.children.create! name: 'Bar'
Simple journal:
simple_journal = Keepr::Journal.create keepr_postings_attributes: [
{ keepr_account: account_1000, amount: 100.99, side: 'debit' },
{ keepr_account: account_1200, amount: 100.99, side: 'credit' }
]
Complex journal:
complex_journal = Keepr::Journal.create keepr_postings_attributes: [
{ keepr_account: account_4920, amount: 8.40, side: 'debit' },
{ keepr_account: account_1576, amount: 1.60, side: 'debit' },
{ keepr_account: account_1600, amount: 10.00, side: 'credit' }
]
Entries can be locked for changing data:
simple_journal.update! permanent: true
We can get an account balance as follows:
account_1000.balance
account_1000.balance(Date.today)
account_1000.balance(Date.yesterday...Date.today)
// Create Tax account
Keepr::Account.create! number: 1776, name: 'Umsatzsteuer 19%', kind: :asset
tax = Keepr::Tax.create! name: 'USt19',
description: 'Umsatzsteuer 19%',
value: 19.0,
keepr_account: tax_account
// Create a sale account that links to the tax account
account = Keepr::Account.new number: 8400,
name: 'Erlöse 19% USt',
kind: :revenue,
keepr_tax: tax
