The ZAP Bookkeeping Module consists of a Google Sheet File Template and a Google Script Project file that are connected to each other to create the "software" solution. The user gets copies of both files individually from this website, adds them to their personal google drive, and then connects them to each other to create their own private "bookkeeping software" that is ready for configuration and use or education. These two files have no programmatic calls that leave your own google drive so they are fully private once on your drive. The Google Sheet Template can be converted to an Excel template and all the basic functionality should either be intact or require minor modification.The advanced functionality found in the scripts will no longer work but you could rebuild that with Excel's programming back-end if so inclined. The "benefits" of this solution center around the transparent cloud spreadsheet infrastructure itself and it's privacy vs a stand alone or cloud based database infrastructure which brings both a lack of privacy and far more complex obfuscation . Accounting fits "spreadsheets" perfectly. Accounting does NOT fit databases well, contrary to decades of misunderstanding. |
