Re: Odoo Vs Apache OFBiz

[Bahaa Alamood]

All,

Having used both Odoo and Ofbiz, I can tell you that one of the major 
reasons we have switched from Odoo to Ofbiz is the process of upgrading 
the software version as there is no built in process for upgrading from 
one version to another in Odoo. You would have to purchase such service 
from Odoo (quite expensive) to get that upgrade and keep your data. 
Quite the opposite in Ofbiz as you. can move from one version to the 
newer one in very simple way and almost transparent to the user.

Hi Divesh  ,

Ofbiz is a generic framework backed by a very solid data model which is
generic
and exhaustive enough to accommodate many any business processes and
environments.

1000's of Ofbiz functions are exposed by web services that allows easy
integration
with other systems. This allows to bank upon the the data model utilizing
software
developed in any platform using language neutral interfaces like XML RPC.

in spite of being a modular framework it comes out of the box (OOTB) with a
very
functional web based interface.

Cons: The learning curve and packaging may be bit more challenging than
others
   but we have a very supportive community that welcomes new comers.

Re: Order Entry: Anonymous Orders?

[Bahaa Alamood]

Hello,

you  can if you  create a customer and name it cash for example. We use 
this way for all customers and suppliers that we deal cash or we do not 
have name for them, like taxi or meal or small item purchased by us or 
from us.

Hi,
  
I'm looking at the sample data, and it appears that the app is designed to enter a customer name before an order. However, in a retail store at the cash register, many people use cash and do not want to create accounts. What would be the correct way to handle anonymous in-person cash transactions? Do you create a customer named "cash"?
  
Thanks!

Hi Pierre,

Thanks for the tips, I use centos 7  for this server, do you have a 
startup script for this or hints on how to create one?

Hi Bahaaldin,

Here are some (other) tips to optimize your production environment for
performance:

- remove all components that you don't intend to use
- remove all 3rd party solution integrations that you don't use
(payment/shipment/etc)
- don't use gradle to start up, but use java - jar ofbiz.jar
- set 'check-on-start' to false
- set 'add-missing-on-start' to false
- set 'check-inidices-on-start' to false

Hi Bahaa,

you can record them with manually entered accounting transactions.
The screen to use is the following:

https://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/accounting/control/newAcctgTrans?
organizationPartyId=Company

Enter the information for the header (you can leave most of the fields
blank) and then hit the "create" button; in the next screen you will create
Debit and Credit entries for the accounts you want to post to: you will
probably want to use one liability account for the Credit (to represent the
amount your company owe to the investor) and a cash/bank account for the
Debit (to represent the money received from the investor).

I hope it helps,

I'm attempting to setup a new Ofbiz as an ERP.

In the General Ledger, I'm struggling to find the substance of it.

Key areas that I can't locate

* Entering an actual ledger journal - create a new GL direct transaction

* Ledger Account balance enquiry

* Active ledger tree - clickable nested tree of accounts with balances
by period

* Ledger transactions display by account

It looks close in

Accounting Manager / Global GL Settings / Chart of Accounts / Navigate
Accounts

Nice tree, but show me the money, and with a period selector.

This area seems 'setup' focused, not user focused.

Accounting Manager / Main is filled with list and show options, but none
GL related.

Documentation doesn't give any hints either...

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide#ApacheOFBizBusinessSetupGuide-accountingSetup


 Creating ledger transactions.(to be completed)

And no mention at all of loading initial GL opening balances, which
would have to be second step after chart setup. Is this not possible?

Or do I need to write GL entry / view screens myself?  The data model
seems complete, the back end UI not really.

Am I missing something here? Or is OfBiz more web commerce with light
back end, ready for further customisation prior to actual use?

I'm totally committed to open source, need to deploy an ERP &
Accounting, and keep coming back to re-evaluate OfBiz  because it has
good community, stable Apache ownership, good database schema, good web
engine.  Just seems not ready for every day back end use by my
accounting team.

Comments anyone?

Re: database replication

Dear All,

thanks for all the replies, yes, I tested it and it works. I am 
deploying it now on 2 machines and my set up is like the:


server A is a VPS with OpenVPN server (this server has a Public IP) 
which will be used for all people that are not local to the remote office


server B is a VM machine with  OpenVPN client that will be located in 
the remote office and using the delegator sequence-id_prefix to avoid 
the collisions in the primary keys.


The two machines use the bdr extension from 2nd quadrant with Postgresql 
9.4 with bdr enabled in both machines.


I will keep testing and report back.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the advice :), but this is not the point here. The point is  
having such a solution will provide you  with the clustered environment 
that will make your important business data always stored in more than 
one machine (I think you  know how important that is) We can forget 
about the remote office scenario and think cloud or vps type situation 
where you  need this redundancy, you  will see that this scenario is 
very  valuable. Another way to think about this when this remote office 
is located in parts of the world where a Mbps cost over 300 USD a month 
then this option is a valuable option, is it not?

How expensive would it be to just upgrade the office’s internet connectivity? 
With my business hat on, that will almost always be MUCH cheaper than investing 
in a corner case of development that the rest of the community isn’t using 
anyway.

Take a look at the new generation of microwave data links available - you can 
now securely link sites at 1gbps+ point-to-point over 5-10 miles with 99.999% 
uptime with modest hardware investments (which against are always cheaper than 
trying to re-architect OFBiz).

Hi Jaques,

thanks for the tip, I have seen this post before. I tried it today and it seems 
to do the trick for the sequences. I think I do not need the rest of the setup 
in the post because I want to use the brd which sync the database.

I have a questions regarding the sync. So i have a scenario  as an example 
where one user on one server changes a record and I have another user on 
another server changed the same record. would the system be able to handle this 
when they sync? will I see both changes as history?

Hello All,

We have a situation that we need to have more than 2 servers of ofbiz running, 
server A, B, and C. The scenario is like this

1. Server A is the main server and it is online all the time with its own 
database. some people do connect to that and make changes to the data (create, 
delete, modify)

2. Server B is a server in one office (own database) and they do not have a 
reliable internet connection so it goes offline some times while the users in 
this office continue to use their local ofbiz

3. Server C is the same as server B with its own database as well

I have been looking at the bdr from 2nd Quadrant 
https://2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/bdr/ to do the data replicationamong the 
servers. I realize that this could create conflicts in the primary keys of many 
things in the system. So I looked at SequenceUtil.java and I can see if I 
change the stagger in getNextSeqId  from 1 to 2 in one of the systems I can 
avoid this conflict in two of them, but what about the third one? also in the 
above scenario what else I need to look out for other than the sequences that 
might create conflicts?

All,

How can I change the PDF template design for invoices and quotes, etc?

PDF generation with non English charactors

[Bahaa Alamood]

Hello,

I have a running ofbiz 16 and everything seems to be fine, but when I 
generate PDF of any thing with characters from a language other than 
English I get  . I have looked at this post:


http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Multi-language-Support-in-PDF-Generation-Localization-in-fo-ftl-files-td4695361.html#a4701002
and 
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Cannot-print-generate-pdfs-with-INR-currency-td4668043.html#a4677150


 there was mention of 2 solutions, but really I did not find anything 
on how to use these solutions to solve this problem. The first one I can 
see the fonts are installed with ofbiz by default but still producing 
the # when the PDF is generated. The second solution I do know 
know how I can use the PDFBOX lib in my installation.


Can any one help please?
