Maybe you are right, greno. Maybe I just got frustrated, and posted too soon.
> No one on the forum is going to be able to respond to a "How do I get > started?" question. Get started with what? The example I gave in my original post: "let's suppose I want to add an item to my inventory, how do I do that?" That seems like a specific enough question, to me. But what I would really prefer is adequate documentation so that I would not even have to ask the question. As it is, I install and run the product, and I am looking at a blank screen, I have no idea what to do. I go to the online documentation, and that does help either. So I turn to the community, and I am not getting any real help here either. Can you understand my frustration? > When you install the OpenERP the modules that are included have been vetted > by a quality team. When I installed the all-in-one, I could not find any modules that would actually do anything useful. I tried to install some modules, but they would not install. Somebody posted that the all-in-one install was 4.2, and the modules are supposed to work with 4.3, or something like that. How am I supposed to know which modules work with which versions? > But you have to realize that there are so many combinations that it would not > be physically possible to test every module with every combination of every > other module/modules. Then please document the version for which the module has been tested. And document which other modules are needed for a particular module to work. And document known issues. Please do not force your users to play a pointless hit-or-miss guessing game with hundreds of modules. > To become a craftsman you are going to either have to spend a good deal of > time yourself in learning about it.

But, before I even think about becoming a craftsman, I would like to know if this is a viable product for me. I would like to evaluate the product. Actually, I thought the purpose of the all-in-one install was to do just that - i.e. an easy way to evaluate the product. Instead, I found the all-in-one install pointless - I could install openerp, but I could not do anything once it was installed. > Otherwise, if you just need something like a simple accounting app then maybe > that's what you should be seeking. I think an erp would be great. I also thought that OpenERP looked promising. Unfortunately, my attempts to evaluate the product have been frustrating experiences. Also, I do not think I am the first person to complain about inadequate documentation, or broken modules. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openerp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=25044#25044 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman/listinfo/tinyerp-users
