There in't one!
I've asked this question since 1999 on countless lists, forums and 
channels including here. Oh sure there are FOS projects that can do 
*bits* but thats not good enough in the business world its one of my 
main arguments as to why most companies don't have a full implementation 
of Linux. Dave Goodwin mentioned one a few years ago (it'll be in the 
archives somewhere) but if I remember he said that even that was not 
brilliant. :-(

I know of a few applications that will do invoicing, stock control ect 
but I'm not going to waste your time by mentioning them as I understand 
exactly what you want and know full well that its not there. I think the 
only way we will get an alternative that runs natively on Linux is one 
that is not opensource and would probably cost a bob or two (old money 
for you young'uns).
