Hi.
I have been looking at tryton to be used for our invoicing,.. needs.
Currently we are just using LibreOffice documents (calc) to write invoices.
It seems that it relies on me entering all articles / invoice items as
seperate "items".
The problem with that for me/us is, that we mostly have individual orders
every time. It seems to be overkill to create "inventory" (i don'T know
what it is called right now) items for each of those as it usually is like
one line which includes things like material used, small parts and the time
to do it.
I was wondering if it is really feasible to use tryton for situations like
this, where we don't really have an inventory of things and prices need to
be calculated nearly every time (and usually not put on the invoice as
individual parts).
Here's an example i just made up (omitting the header and footer):
1 Box according to supplied drawing, soldered, 1.4301 2mm (the
material) .... XX €
3 angle bracket (i think i translated that right duno) 1.4301 1,5mm
brushed YY €
2 NC-Laser setup-costs (per material & thickness)
ZZZ €
Total
Tax
Total incl. Tax
in any case this is just a very simple example, but it shows that the
invoice item "name" is rather irrelevant most of the time and we wouldn't
want all of those listed as items somewhere as probably around 80% are
one-off orders and will never be needed again.
What would be useful is the ability to search this again later maybe.
It seems to me that tryton is more geared towards (re-)sellers who have the
same item for sale more often instead of lots of custom orders. Am I
right, or am I doing something wrong and what I need can be easily
acchieved with tryton?
