Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
I would personally strongly encourage people to make a little effort to report their experience with the implementation of OpenERP (problems and solutions). I have report my experience for one customer, and the only solution i found, is to migrate in Linux On Windows it take 3 more times to do the same things as Linux On Windows, only GTK Client works, OpenERP Server on Windows is a nightmare Sorry but it's just the reality Regards, Christophe Chauvet Directeur Technique/Technical Manager Sylëam / Gold Partner www.syleam.fr m2f -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=61108#61108 m2f ___ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users

[quote=pleandro]Hi, First of all, you should consider a Linux server setup for any serious production environment,[/quote] How can I use a GUI with Ubuntu server??? We are interested in using Ubuntu server instead of ubuntu desktop, but we are having some troubles to implement a GUI for Ubuntu Server And we think it is good to have a GUI in place for Posgresql, Kettle and other applications we will be using... Any recommendations? Thanks in advance for your comments.

[quote=RobB] ⢠Set initial Invoice Number In order to avoid using invoice numbers which have been used in the period prior to implementing OpenERP one can define the initial starting invoice number as follows: financial administration configuration sequences sequences, select account invoice out, padding 4, next number as appropriate, increment 1 [/quote] I would like to thank you for your post which helps me especially for this feature. It's been a pair of week I've been looking for an easy way to modify the invoice numbering when I found out you post today.

Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
A quick reply just before leaving for my holidays . (1) There is a difference between account type and internal type. For both entries you should specify the account type to be type 'view' and the internal type to be of the type 'other'. (N.B. your link in red doesn't seem to work). (2) I'm not sure your suggestion will work properly because I think it will influence the starting balance. Success with your implementation!

[quote=coolmanlg] Our situation is quite different in the sense that we record money owed us. Is it not possible to use the entries encoding to debit the partner?[/quote] You can insert your debtor and creditor balance directly in your starting balance by naming the partner into the partner field, using the correct debtor and creditor account with the corresponding value. Use the name/description field to reflect the invoice number. Do this for all outstanding invoices in the old system. That way you are able to have correct partner balances and can reconcile these entries. The suggestion to create new invoices for the outstanding invoices is technically possible, but does your government accept 2 invoices for the same? These are legal documents! Therewith reconciling will be painful as partner use the old invoice number as reference and you have to reconcile the new invoice in the new system. As a side effect, creating new invoices is more time consuming then creating a entry line in your journal.

Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
Thanks a lot for documenting your experience. ⢠Creating a Starting Balance Presetting balance items to reflect the proper starting position can be done as follows: - define a starting journal (configuration financial accounting financial accounts financial journals), type â situationâ and âcentralized counterpartâ - create two accounts called default credit account and default debit account and define the account numbers outside the range of numbers of the existing chart of accounts, account type âviewâ and internal type âothersâ Do you mean one of the account created will be of type view and the second one of type other? OR Is it something along this line: http://doc.openerp.com/book/3/3_9/entries_at_the_start_of_a_year.html ⢠Outstanding Debtors and Creditors Defining outstanding debtors and creditors to reflect the proper starting position can be done as follows: - add names and addresses of all debtors and creditors as a partner (relations relations) - make an invoice for every item related to an existing outstanding debtor or outstanding creditor Our situation is quite different in the sense that we record money owed us.

Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
Hi, First of all, you should consider a Linux server setup for any serious production environment, be it a physical server or a virtual machine. I've been using Ubuntu but any other good distribution should be right. I've been also using virtual machines for the effect (Sun Virtual Box). Second, I strongly suggest you take a look at this: http://opensourceconsulting.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/openerp-all-in-one-installer-update-for-dummies/ Feel free to contact me ;-) Regards, Paulo m2f -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=54617#54617 m2f ___ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
Hello everyone, first of all I think it is only fair to say THANK YOU to RobB, as he did what helps everyone to find into the system: Showing up problems and how to solve them. Of cause I can also assist Christophe and Paolo regarding the usage of the all-in-one installer, but I am unsure, if this is explicitly written on the download page. If it is not this important info should be added. I know MANY (especially small) companies who have ONLY windows servers running. Beside that I can't understand this from a personal point of view this is no argument anymore today, because everyone can install a Linux distribution in a virtual machine. From my point of view it would be a good idea to offer a VMWare and/or VirtualBox virtual machine and additionally a preconfigured Windows Client for download - this could make the all-in-one-installer obsolete and would enable one to build a production environment on the Demo. Just my 2Ct.

Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
Thanks to Ulrich for his positive reaction, which I quite appreciate (!) after the earlier reactions on this topic. I would personally strongly encourage people to make a little effort to report their experience with the implementation of OpenERP (problems and solutions). I am convinced that that would help many others in a similar starting position. There could even be a separate section in the forum for this, perhaps starting with an appealing message from the moderator. By the way, I can confirm that the system in Uganda was implemented in Linux on a virtual machine.

Re: [OpenERP-users] Potential pitfalls during the implementation of OpenERP
Hi ⢠Database Back-up / Restore procedure Initially the database back-up function did not work. The discussion in the userforum helped us to resolve this important issue (relevant details can be found on http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50802#50802). Adherence to a rigid procedure for database back-up / restore is strongly advised !! Seriously, you installed OpenERP with All in one on Window$ for production ? I think it's a Joke ! Hopefully our experience will benefit others who also plan to implement OpenERP. Even though the emphasis here is on issues and potential pitfalls, the system is in our opinion very powerful and flexible. All in one exists only to test OpenERP in windows, only Unix/Linux platform for production environment. Now you can't upgrade to a new version, because when uninstalled All in one, it remove all component (OpenERP Server, PostgreSQL). and reinstall new version can upgrade your database (previously backup) Regards, Christophe Chauvet Directeur Technique/Technical Manager Sylëam / Gold Partner www.syleam.fr m2f -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53420#53420 m2f ___ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
