Hi guys, I’m Chanaka De Silva and I’m from Sri Lanka. (A small island in Indian ocean).  
I’m more focused on accounting package of the system. I used the demo version and I have some questions.

1. Does this support double entry accounting ?
2. I’m unable to add Banks and Accounts. What is the reason for that ?
3. Is there any user manual for Tryton?
4. Where we can use Ledger reports? And also add new incomes and expenses ?

I know this is lot to ask form you guys. If anyone and support me, it would be a great assistance to me.

Thank you.

Yes, tryton accounting model is based on double entry accounting.

You should be from a special group to add bank accounts for the party. Probably your user does not have enought privileges to do so.

@pokoli Thank you so much for your support. You are so helpful.  
I think Tryton will be the best solution for me.  
Apart from the [https://docs.tryton.org](https://docs.tryton.org), do you have a getting started guide? Something guide a new user how to start the application? How to add a new bank? A simple getting started guide.

The main reason is there are no Tryton dealers here in Sri Lanka and also I have some software knowledge and I think I an setup this with some guidance.
