Agreed. I don't have real user experience, but I kicked the tires a while back and thought an implemenation project would be similiar in scope to a mid-tier or even SAP ERP implemention. > and I know a lot of people that are using it but my new client > needs payroll and job costing and it looks like Quasar does not > have that.

I think many (most?) open-source ERP systems generally avoid payroll due to a myriad of confusing local requirements and gotcha's, preferring you export names and amounts into the payroll system of your choice. > > Recommendations please. Depending on your client's needs and wants (and their auditor's), webERP may be worth looking at. The project founder and lead developer is Phil Daintree, a New Zealand accountant. It's server-side PHP/MySQL ERP, with an install under 5 minutes. However, be warned that it's also a little rough compared to OpenERP, ERP5, etc. The code is not structured, there is no true engineering release cycle (install a "release" archive and then patch from head when a bug fix is announced on the mailing list), documentation is weak, and if you need interfaces to a shopping cart or CMS, you'll probably be coding it yourself. However, that being said, webERP is the best "simple" web-based ERP I've found. It has all the features needed for a basic manufacturing, sales, or services company, and is actively used world-wide. The mailing list has 10+ postings daily, and the community and developers are responsive and supportive. The original project is at http://www.werberp.org (repo: http://sourceforge.net/projects/web-erp/) with a loosely coupled fork at http://www.web-erp.org (repo: http://sourceforge.net/projects/weberp/). Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss webERP in more detail. Dale ----- Transparency with Trust http://www.dalescott.net
