Sure?

yeah... you are right, a lot of them indeed!
But I hear what you're saying. ERP is a complex beast, no doubt.
yes, this is what I meant... in order to implement an ERP system you
need a lot of background knowledge/study.
But if
people fail with the basics, which is to me:
- Installing the software
- Creating user accounts for the people working in the company
- Creating financial accounts
- Start capturing prospects and customers
- Records sales, printing invoices and doing accouts receivable
you will never arrive at what you're talking about.
I agree with you about the idea of providing a manual with basic
concepts to start with.
However the 'fundamental' features needed are very diverse and
subjective and I'm pretty sure that many of my customers, if asked to
write down such a list, would start with a totally different set of
features from the one you have provided above.
By the way, I'd really love to see better open source manuals about
OFBiz since I totally believe in the OSS model, I just wanted to share
my past experiences about (some) users expectations about documentation
and ERP systems.
