[Erp5-users] Grasping the general idea of ERP5

[Sebastian Ware]

Have I understood ERP5 correctly?


 >>MODULES
-Modules are used to specify categories of objects such as:
  - Products
  - Orders
  - Customers
  - Invoices

  Each Module contains a number of Views and have both associated 
actions and workflows.

(A Portal Type and a Module are associated)
(An ERP5 Product such as described in "Rapid Application Development 
with ERP5" is the same as Module)
   http://www.erp5.org/workspaces/project/guide/rad

  Some Modules, such as Customer, Order and Products, would be mandatory 
for a trading company. Wheras Invoice might be solved with an external 
solution.

 >>WORKFLOWS
-Workflows are used to specify what different users can do with the 
objects in each module and how it is done.

 >>CUSTOM LISTBOXES
-Custom listboxes are used for easy data entry.


 >>USERS
-Add users to control access


 >>IMPLEMENTATION
By defining the Modules (including views and actions) and Workflows you 
customise your ERP5-solution.
