+GNU Enterprise is not a Finance/ERP/Accounting software (yet). While the 
+original project goal was to create exactly that, the maintainers at that time 
+decided that as a first step, good development tools for database centered 
+applications should be created. The focus of development then was strongly on 
+these tools, and while they are to a certain extent usable to actually create 
+database applications, further development in the project has come to a halt 
+because most (all) developers shifted their energy to other projects.
+
+I hope this helps!
