It's been a while since I've spammed the list with my Compiere 
spiel.  :-)  Compiere is a MPL (Mozilla-style) licensed open source ERP 
system.  The kicker is, it currently runs only on Oracle.  However, 
$1,174.95 has been raised for the PostgreSQL porting effort.  You might at 
least evaluate it for your own needs and see if you can make any use of it.

HTH.
