That's the thing about any business.  The hard part of working for anyone
has never been learning the tech they need; it's always been learning their
particular business, and how to cater to it.

Even "AR/AP" is -not- something that's entirely generic.  I have an
accountant friend down in Texas, and she specialises in oil and gas.
Doing -big- things for other clients is a major undertaking, because the
business needs of even the accounting are specialised.  Inventory is going
to be even worse, because there's no standard [of which I am aware?] for
inventory like GAAP for accounting.

If generic did the job, people wouldn't have been on custom filePro, dBase,
Magic, and Paradox applications in the first place.  Even if they started
stock, they were tuned up and tailored for specifics in almost every case.

Stock engines, sure.  Stock applications, notsomuch.  Even word procecssors
have different templates for different purposes.  Ditto video editors,
DAWs, etc.
