Although OpenERP has the Open Office based report writer, I think its main usefulness is for company documents like invoices etc and simple reports. Also the cube functionality is wonderful, but for serious report generation a 3rd party tool is required.
Has anyone had any experience using 3rd party report tools (eg Crystal Reports, Jasper reports, LogiXML...) with the OpenErp Postgres database? After looking at the DB schema, I think it may be possible to use 3rd party tools to generate good sales analysis reports (after doing a substantial SQL join), but some reports would be impossible due to the nature of the ORM mapping, eg nested hierarchies such as customer or stock item product groups etc. However, for sales analysis reporting I think it would be possible. Any comments, previous experience, suggestions or "gotcha's" would be appreciated. -------------------- m2f -------------------- -- http://www.openobject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=43198#43198 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ Tinyerp-users mailing list http://tiny.be/mailman2/listinfo/tinyerp-users
