Liberu Accounting ERP

Production-ready accounting and ERP application for ledgers, banking, tax, expenses, approvals, and reporting.

Software · Hosting · Services · Liberu Group

Liberu Accounting ERP is the deployable accounting application built on the Liberu Laravel foundation. It combines ledger, invoicing, procurement, banking, tax, payroll, inventory, reconciliation, approvals, and reporting capabilities with Filament and Livewire surfaces.

Key features

• Double-entry general ledger, chart of accounts, journal entries, posting, period close, and reversals
• Invoices, bills, estimates, payments, sales orders, receipts, credits, and approval workflows
• Banking connections, reconciliation, exchange rates, multi-currency transactions, and financial statements
• Tax, payroll, HMRC integrations, fixed assets, inventory valuation, subscriptions, and recurring documents
• Filament admin and accounting panels with Livewire pages, tenancy, roles, permissions, audit trails, and settings
• API v1 endpoints, OpenAPI documentation, a typed PHP SDK, notifications, queues, backups, and observability
• Independently versioned modules installed into tracked /modules directories
• Independently versioned themes installed into tracked /themes directories with inheritance and safe fallback
• Architecture tests for manifests, dependency direction, package ownership, and presentation boundaries

Requirements

Dependency	Supported version
PHP	8.5
Laravel	13.x
Filament	5.x
Livewire	4.x
Composer	2.x
Node.js	Latest stable release
Database	A Laravel-supported SQL database

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/liberusoftware/accounting-erp-laravel.git
cd accounting-erp-laravel
composer install
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
npm install
npm run build
php artisan migrate
php artisan serve

Review .env before migrating. Use php artisan migrate --seed only when example data is wanted. The optional interactive install.sh supports local, Docker, and Kubernetes-oriented setup.

Composable package architecture

Each runtime capability is an independent liberu-module Composer package with its own GitHub repository, release lifecycle, manifest, provider, documentation, and tests. Each visual package is an independent liberu-theme. Shared contract packages and the custom installer are normal Composer dependencies under /vendor.

Application composition
├── modules/       # Composer-installed module releases, tracked in Git
├── themes/        # Composer-installed theme releases, tracked in Git
├── app/           # Host-only composition and integration
├── config/        # Enabled modules and application policy
└── tests/         # Cross-package and application tests

Composer is the source of installation and version truth:

# Update all dependencies, including modules and themes
composer update --with-all-dependencies

# Update one capability from its tagged GitHub repository
composer update liberusoftware/search --with-dependencies

The trusted liberusoftware/composer-installer places packages according to type:

Composer type	Install path	Repository convention
liberu-module	/modules/{installer-name}	liberusoftware/module-{installer-name}
liberu-theme	/themes/{installer-name}	liberusoftware/theme-{installer-name}
Contract/library	/vendor	Package-specific repository

modules/ and themes/ are intentionally kept out of .gitignore. Their reproduced contents are committed so deployments and reviews can see the exact installed code, while composer.lock pins each release and source commit. Do not edit an installed module only in this host: contribute the generic change to its package repository, release it, and update the Composer dependency here.

Installation, runtime enablement, authorisation, and commercial entitlement are separate concerns. config/modules.php selects the enabled capability graph; the module manager validates dependencies and orders providers without scanning application classes manually.

Every module also publishes a validated feature catalog in module.json. Hosts can inspect the complete catalog or search it without loading module internals:

php artisan module:features
php artisan module:features health
php artisan module:status search

Module and theme development

A module owns one cohesive capability and communicates through public contracts, actions, events, registries, or stable identifiers. Domain modules do not depend on Filament or themes; optional *-filament, *-api, and *-livewire packages provide presentation adapters.

Every module contains:

composer.json
module.json
README.md
LICENSE.md
CHANGELOG.md
src/
database/ or resources/ when required
tests/

Themes contain composer.json, theme.json, source assets, compatibility metadata, accessibility/fallback expectations, tests, documentation, and asset licensing information. See the module development guide and theme architecture.

Testing, coverage, and quality

composer validate --strict
vendor/bin/pest
vendor/bin/pint --test
npm run build

The test suite exercises application behaviour, API boundaries, Filament pages, Livewire flows, and every installed module provider. Package architecture tests verify metadata, declared dependencies, host isolation, UI boundaries, and Composer ownership.

Coverage is generated as Clover XML and enforced in CI for the host application:

php artisan test --coverage --coverage-clover=coverage.xml --min=100

The complete release gate is available as scripts/verify-release (or composer verify). It fails when coverage, static analysis, dependency audits, asset builds, Docker Compose, or Kubernetes validation cannot be completed.

The live coverage report is published to Codecov. Package coverage is measured by each package's own test workflow.

Publishing the component repositories

The package fleet derives repository names from directory names, using module- for entries in modules/ and theme- for entries in themes/. The host application remains accounting-erp-laravel and is not submitted as a Composer package.

# Inspect the independently released repositories
scripts/fleet status

# Clone any missing component repositories into the fleet workspace
scripts/fleet clone

# Run a package command across the fleet
scripts/fleet run 'vendor/bin/pest'

Fleet operations require authenticated git access to the organisation. Package repositories are the source of truth; the host application is deliberately not mirrored into them.

After the repositories are public, register every Composer package on Packagist:

# Verify all package-to-repository mappings without submitting
php scripts/submit-packagist.php --dry-run

# Obtain the MAIN API token from packagist.org/profile, then refresh the packages
export PACKAGIST_USERNAME='your-packagist-username'
export PACKAGIST_API_TOKEN='your-packagist-api-token'
php scripts/submit-packagist.php
unset PACKAGIST_API_TOKEN

The submitter skips packages that are already registered and reports individual API failures without printing the configured token.
