I'll have to look into this further real soon (especially considering we're having a series of meetings about ERP systems complete with demos and sales pitches). I've bookmarked it. (Gotta love this list and the Lan's on it :) ) I was finally able to install and do some evaluation of Compiere a couple months ago. It looked like it would do the job. Unfortunately the company did not want to spend the paltry $50 for the manual so I could get a real handle on the system. I installed the version that uses MySQL MAX (SAP R3 Certified version of MySQL) with complete source code. Like the web site above says, systems that meet your exact business needs are difficult to come by. Customized solutions lock you in to the vendor for life. One of our issues is that the system used *MUST* work with our embedded software loading system which is written in Java and uses MySQL. It not only uses the database to figure out what to load (flash) into our embedded systems, but also for tracking production yields, failure data, etc. Any system selected will require development time in order to support this part of our business.
