Hi Ashish. Most ERP systems have a system configurator which is essential for system setup and initialization. It is part of the core system.
I do not know if you ever tried to setup an ofbiz system starting from seed data, that is pretty difficult. With this component you can go with an empty system directly to a customer and demonstrate an empty system. Load the seed data, create an admin user and setup the system with this webapp entering the company data, productstore, catalog, category and product. enter the first customer and you can demonstrate the sale order entry, even the glaccounts will be loaded from a external file and the invoice will be properly generated. This can be done in less then 5 minutes. We are creating new documents and help screens to support this. regards, Hans On Thu, 2009-09-17 at 13:52 +0530, Ashish Vijaywargiya wrote: > Hans, > > Any specific reason for keeping this new component inside "commonext"? > Shouldn't we keep it inside specialpurpose folder? > > -- > Ashish > > > [email protected] wrote: > > Author: hansbak > > Date: Thu Sep 17 07:43:05 2009 > > New Revision: 816083 > > > > URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=816083&view=rev > > Log: > > added a 'setup' component to create a system from seed data only.
