OpenERP Installation Guide

2011-12-24T01:32:00.000-08:00

OpenERP Setup Tour! From Installation to Production. [Complete Details]

Using this blog you will be able to install the complete package of OpenERP thanks to my colleague Anup Chavda. (http://anupdchavda.blogspot.com/)

You can use the GTK client and also the Web client as well.

Installing OpenERP on Linux

Install all the python packages in the system. You can have the following packages installed manually by running all the commands manually on the terminal.

sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
sudo apt-get install python2.6-pyparsing
sudo apt-get install python2.6-imaging
sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2
sudo apt-get install python-libxslt1
sudo apt-get install python-libxml2
sudo apt-get install graphviz
sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4
sudo apt-get install pgadmin3
sudo apt-get install python-lxml
sudo apt-get install mx44
sudo apt-get install python-reportlab
sudo apt-get install python-pychart
sudo apt-get install python-tz
sudo apt-get install python-openssl
sudo apt-get install python-hippocanvas
sudo apt-get install python-yaml
sudo apt-get install python-pydot
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install bzr

2. Create a user of the sane name as your system user in the postgres database and rename the password with your desired password as you would need it to use it with the pgadmin Postgres graphincal interface.

- $sudo su postgres
- $createuser -d -S -R
- $psql
- # alter user with password
You can see the steps on the screen of the terminal as shown below.

3. Configure Pgadmin(Postgres GUI) to have the details of the tables for database created from OpenERP. Below picture shows the configuration for the postgres server in pgadmin.
This is the view of pgadmin3 after the configuration of server. It will display all the databases and related information for postgres.
4. Register yourself with Launchpad. Using the link https://launchpad.net
You can also use the link https://login.launchpad.net/Rgtn6TB32vss2cJQ/+new_account to create a new account on launchpad.
After Creating a new account you can view your profile by clicking your name from anypage and you'll be redirected to your profile. The profile would be as shown below.
5. Create an SSH key for your launchpad account from your system. You can create the SSH key with the help of the link https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

You would be able to see the whole process to create an SSH key on this link. According to the link create an ssh key following the given steps. Do not give any filename to the ssh key file when asked just press “Enter”. If you want to secure it you can use a password otherwise you can keep that also blank. The view of the help is displayed below. It consists of the following steps.

A. Install Open-SSH Client using the command,
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-client

B. Generate and SSH key pair(Public-Private).
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

You can see the procedure to create an ssh key shown in the image below.

The image shown below displays the public key.

D. Now you have to copy the contents and copy it in the launchpad to your ssh key and import the public key.

Download branches from the Launchpad.
You can use the following steps to download a branch in your system from launchpad.

OpenERP is available in many versions. 5.0, 6.0 and trunk(In development soon to be released as 6.1)

There are mainly 5 parts of OpenERP.
1. Server (Application Server)
2. GTK Client (Desktop Client/Thick Client)
3. Web Client(It includes Web Server as well)
4. Addons (The Certified Modules of OpenERP)
5. extra-addons (Uncertified Modules of OpenERP/Community Modules)
For example to download the server go to https://code.launchpad.net/openobject-server and you'll have all the versions listed as shown below.
Now as mentioned in the link if you want to download this branch(source code) you have to use the command 'bzr branch lp:openobject-server' on the terminal.

This will create a folder of the name openobject-server in the pwd. So if you want to rename the folder other then openobject-server you can have an alias by giving the following command.

“ $ bzr branch lp:openobject-server server “ this will create a folder of the name addons in the pwd.

Same way you can download clients and addons from the links as listed below.

GTK Client : https://code.launchpad.net/openobject-client
Web Client : https://code.launchpad.net/openobject-client-web
Addons & Extra Addons : https://code.launchpad.net/openobject-addons

The clients server or addons may or may not work with the different versions. It is advisbale to use the same family(version) to work with stability.

It is possible to have all the versions downloaded and used on linux. You have to follow the below given steps.

A. Create a directory called workspace/OpenERP in your home folder. Inside that folder create the directories for the versions. For e.g. Stable-5.0,Stable-6.0, trunk etc.

B. Go to the specific directory say for e.g. In Stable-5.0 and now download the source code(branch) in the specific directory.

It's not mandatory to download all the parts. Server is must to run OpenERP. You can use either of the client and you can use only addons ommitting the extra addons.

Once everything is downloaded. You can start with OpenERP as shown below.
1. Go to server/bin using the command “cd server/bin”.
2. Run the server using the command “./openerp-server.py –addons ../../addons”.
  When you run the server you need to give the path to your addons folder becuase the modules are fetched from the addons path specified. If it is not specified no modules will be
  listed other than base module in OpenERP.
3. Go to the GTK client using the command “cd client/bin

4. Run the GTK cllient using the command “./openerp-client.py”.

Now to use the OpenERP You'll have to create a new database as shown in the below image.
For Creating a database go to File-->Database--> New Database

Create a database entering the name of the database and the password they you need to keep for your admin user. By default the super admin password is 'admin' and the default user created would be 'admin' which will be having administrator rights.

Once you click ok you'll get a new popup wizard asking for configuration. You can directly use it or you can configure the OpenERP. Click on Start Configuration.

You'll get one more wizard asking for interface. You can choose either simple interface or extended interface according to that you'll be having the functionalities. Select Extended View so that you would be able to see all the functionalities.

The next window that will appear will be of Company Configuration where you can configure all the details of your company.

Then next popup window will be containing list of modules of OpenERP. You can select the modules that you require to install. Select the checkbox on the module(feature) you want to have and then click install.

As Accounting is installed it will also ask for chart of accounts that should be installed for the particular company. Chart of Accounts are very important entity for any company. In OpenERP Once chart of accounts are installed you can not change them. So before installing make sure which chart of accounts you want to install. Here you also need to configure the fiscal year and the periods in the fiscal year. Make sure you keep the fiscal year as per your financial year as that can also not be reconfigured. You can also not create a fiscal year that are overlapping. And periods should be created either monthly or quarterly(in the session of 3 months).

Once all the other configurations that are related to the installed module is done you will get the main view of OpenERP as shown below.

Similarly you can run the webclient.

For running the webclient first of all you'll have to install some more packages that are used by the webclient.
1. Go to web-client/lib
2. Install the file populate.sh using the command “./populate.sh”
Once all the packages are installed go to web-client. And run the webclient. Using the command “ ./openerp-web.py” as shown in the image below and the web-server would start.

Now go to the browser and open the link “localhost:80880” and it will open the following view.

Once you've logged in you'll see the main screen of the webclient. It is different than the one with GTK as it displays the iconic view of all the modules that are installed. Still the functionality would remain the same.

The web-client is attractive than GTK and it's look & feel is better than GTK. There are few advantages and disadvantages of both the clients. For example the web-client can not print “Print Screen” reports but in GTK you can. You can not see gantt charts on GTK client but you can see them on the webclient. You can use webclient from anywhere without installing it on the machine using any web-browser but to use GTK you'll have to install GTK client on the system.

Now Once the system is installed with your desired applications and you want to ad more application or modules you can also do that.

Once configured if you want to add more modules you can add it using the Administation rights. To install a module you need to follow the below given steps.

1. Go to Administration/Modules/Modules

2. A list of module will be displayed, search for the module name you want to install or select any module from the module list.

3. Click on Schedule for installation and then Click on the wizard shown on the right hand side saying “Apply Scheduled Upgrades”.

4. It will open a popup window having the list of modules to be installed and will ask for confirmation. Click on “Start Update”.

5. Your module will be installed in few minutes once installed the features in the modules will be added in your OpenERP system. Here we have installed project and as you can see a menu for project is added.

Hope this would help!

Importance of Resources and their efficient use!!!

2011-12-09T23:56:00.001-08:00

Today, I got a chance to discuss few policies with Manan Vora, Jay Vora, Hemkant Sharma, Julious, Nandu Masta, Rehman Munza, Nilesh Prajapati and Anand Trivedi.

You can always become better. - Tiger Woods

While deciding some policies, Our Chief Operational Officer Manan Vora (having a strong experience working in USA and now serving SerpentCS) spoke the words as below and all the members of board of directors gave standing ovation.

" It Doesn't Matter How Many Resources You Have. If You Don't Know How To Use Them, They Will Never Be Enough !!! "

It says a lot really. Rest of the things are simply hard to express in words.

Human Resource Management

Human Resource Management is the function within an organization that focuses on recruitment, management, and the direction of the people in the organization. Human Resources management is also performed by line managers.

Team Building

People in every workplace talk about building the team, working as a team and my team, but few understand how to create the experience of team work or how to develop an effective team. Here are twelve tips for building successful work teams: Context, Commitment and culture!

Work Dress Code

Your Company's objective in establishing a business casual dress code, is to allow our employees to work comfortably in the workplace. Yet, we still need our employees to project a professional image for our customers, potential employees, and visitors. All casual clothing is not suitable for the office. Business casual dress is the dress code standard

Employee Recognition Letters

A simple thank you letter, that recognizes specific employee contributions, goes a long way in helping employees feel recognized and rewarded. In fact, an employee recognition letter that accompanies a bonus check or a gift magnifies the recognition an employee experiences. Some employees experience such gratification that they post the thank you and recognition letter in their cubicle, office, or workstation for years.

Ways to Be Happy at Work

Working at Google sounds very cool. I'd be the first to tout Google as a motivating employer: free food, engineers who spend 20 percent of their time on their own projects ... Google and other Fortune magazine top 100 employers provide best workplaces. At the same time, perks that enable employees to spend all their time at work exploit people and destroy work - life balance. So, even the best employer may not be best for everyone. These are factors that will help you find happiness at work.

Difficult People

Difficult people do exist at work. Difficult people come in every variety and no workplace is without them. How difficult a person is for you to deal with depends on your self-esteem, your self-confidence and your professional courage. Dealing with difficult people is easier when the person is just generally obnoxious or when the behavior affects more than one person. Dealing with difficult people is much tougher when they are attacking you or undermining your professional contribution.

New Employee Welcome Letter

A welcome letter to a new employee who has accepted your job offer confirms the employee's decision to accept the position. The new employee welcome letter helps the new employee feel wanted and welcomed.

Develop an Employee Handbook

Prepare list of the policies, procedures, and professional behavioral expectations in an employee handbook. This sample employee handbook table of contents also covers pay, benefits, performance expectations and legal issues.

Job Analysis

A job analysis is the process used to collect information about the duties, responsibilities, necessary skills, outcomes, and work environment of a particular job. You need as much data as possible to put together a job description, which is the frequent outcome of the job analysis.

How to Develop a Policy

You want to have the necessary policies and procedures to ensure a safe, organized, convivial, empowering, nondiscriminatory work place. Yet, you do not want to write a policy for every exception to accepted and expected behavior. Policy development is for the many employees not for the few exceptions

Conflict Resolution

As an organization leader, manager or supervisor, you are responsible for creating a work environment that enables people to thrive. If turf wars, conflicts, disagreements and differences of opinion escalate into interpersonal conflict, you must intervene immediately. Conflict resolution, with you as mediator, is essential. Conflict resolution is an immediate priority for your organization.

Organizational Culture

People in every workplace talk about organization culture, the mysterious word that characterizes a work environment. One of the key questions when employers hire an employee explores whether the candidate is a good cultural fit. Culture is difficult to define, but you generally know when you have found an employee who appears to fit your organizational culture

Performance Improvement Plan

The Performance Improvement Plan (PDP) facilitates constructive discussion between a staff member and the supervisor and clarifies the work performance to improve. It is implemented, at the discretion of the supervisor, when it becomes necessary to help a staff member improve performance. The supervisor, with input from the affected employee, develops an improvement plan; the purpose of the activities outlined is to help the employee to attain the desired level of performance.

360 Degree Feedback

360 degree feedback is a method and a tool that provides each employee the opportunity to receive performance feedback from his or her supervisor and four to eight peers, reporting staff members, co-workers and customers.

Trust Rules

How important is trust in your organization? Without trust, you have nothing. Trust forms the foundation for effective communication, employee retention, and employee motivation and contribution of discretionary energy, the extra effort that people voluntarily invest in work. When trust is present, everything else is easier.

Nonverbal Communication

Is there ever any doubt in your mind as to the mood of a coworker upon their arrival at work? Nonverbal communication is the single most powerful form of communication. More than the voice or even words, nonverbal communication cues you in to what is on another person’s mind. The best communicators are sensitive to the power of the emotions and thoughts communicated nonverbally.

Make Meetings Work

People spend so much time in meetings that turning meeting time into sustained results is a priority for successful organizations. Actions that make meetings successful require management before, during, and after the meeting. If you neglect any one of these meeting management opportunities, your meetings will not bear the fruit you desire from the time you invest in meeting. Take these meeting management actions to guide meeting attendees to achieve expected, positive outcomes.

Say Thank You at Work

You can cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your workplace by thanking employees and coworkers frequently for their contributions. Saying thank you is one of the easiest and best forms of employee recognition.

Leadership Values

Leaders know what they value. They also recognize the importance of ethical behavior. The best leaders exhibit both their values and their ethics in their leadership style and actions. Your leadership ethics and values should be visible because you live them in your actions every single day.

Identify and Live Your Personal Values

Values are traits or qualities that are considered worthwhile; they represent your highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. When you are part of any organization, you bring your deeply held values and beliefs to the organization. There they co-mingle with those of the other members to create an organization or family culture.

Sample Paid Time Off Policy

The purpose of this Paid Time Off (PTO) policy is to provide staff with the opportunity to take paid time away from work that can be used for such needs as vacation, personal illness, family member illness, personal time, doctor appointments, school or philanthropic volunteerism, and other activities of the employee's choice. The company's goal, in providing PTO, is to reduce unscheduled absenteeism, reduce the need for supervisory oversight, and provide employees with flexible time off.

Sample Attendance Policy

Excellent attendance is an expectation of all employees of Your Company. Daily attendance is especially important for hourly employees whose customers and coworkers have the expectation of on-time product shipping and delivery. Emergency personal time is made available to employees for such unscheduled events as personal illness, immediate family member illness, and doctor appointments.

Severance Pay

Severance pay is money that an employer might want to provide for an employee who is leaving their employ. Normal circumstances that might warrant severance pay include layoffs, job elimination, and mutual agreement to part ways for whatever reason. Severance pay usually amounts to a week or two of pay for each year of service to the company. In some instances, a severance package might include extended benefits and outplacement assistance.

Bad Bosses

You're weary. You're frustrated. You're unhappy. You're demotivated. Your interaction with your boss leaves you cold. He's a bully, intrusive, controlling, picky and petty. He takes credit for your work, never provides positive feedback and misses each meeting he schedules with you. He's a bad boss, bad to the bone. Dealing with less than effective managers, or just plain bad managers and bad bosses, is a challenge too many employees face

Motivation: Wants From Work

Some people work for personal fulfillment; others work for love of what they do. Motivation is different for different people. Some people work to accomplish goals and to feel as if they are contributing to something larger than themselves. The bottom line is that we all work for money and for motivation reasons too individual to assign similarities to all workers

Demonstrate Respect

Ask anyone in your workplace what treatment they most want at work. They will likely top their list with the desire to be treated with dignity and respect. You can demonstrate respect with simple, yet powerful actions. These ideas will help you avoid needless, insensitive, unmeant disrespect, too.

What Employees Want

Every person has different reasons for working. The reasons for working are as individual as the person. But, we all work because we obtain something that we need from work. The something obtained from work impacts morale, employee motivation, and the quality of life. To create positive employee motivation, treat employees as if they matter - because employees matter. These ideas will help you fulfill what people want from work and create employee motivation.

Behavioral Interview

Want to know the best way to identify whether a candidate's characteristics and motivations match the behaviors needed for your job? A behavioral interview is the best tool you have to identify candidates who have the behavioral traits and characteristics you believe are essential for success in your open job. Find out more about how to prepare for and conduct a behavioral interview.

Leadership Success Secrets

Key leadership success secrets set great leaders apart from so-so leaders in organizations. Leadership style is learned from mentors, learned in seminars and exists as part of a person's innate personal leadership skill set developed over years, and existing, possibly from birth. Nature or nurture is a question often asked about leadership. I answer, "yes," because I believe the combination of natural leadership skills and nurture through leadership development defines leadership style.

Reward, Recognition, Award,...

Look for convenient, appreciated, reasonably cost-conscious ways to provide rewards and recognition, demonstrate your appreciation and say 'thank you' for contributions that people make at work.

Employee Motivation

Employee motivation is a continuing challenge at work. Particularly in work environments that don’t emphasize employee satisfaction as part of an embraced and supported overall business strategy, supervisors and managers walk a tough road. On the one hand, they recognize their power in drawing forth the best employees have to offer; on the other, they feel unsupported, rewarded or recognized themselves. My word to managers? Get over it. Employee motivation is always possible.

Paid Vacation Days Policy

Paid vacation days are time off work provided to employees as a benefit. Paid vacation days are generally accrued by employees based on years of service to the organization.

Valentine Special tips.

2011-02-14T03:39:00.000-08:00

Some truth about love, What I think about Love:

If you love someone, Don't love her good things only, love her bad things too.

Make your lover your best friend. Share everything with her, love forever.

Don't compare your love with anyone.

Love has no reason, Love her for no reason.

Love her badly, Do anything to make her smile.

Today on lunch break me any my friends left for lunch at 1:15 pm.

We have seen lots of couples on road side, giving gifts to each other, flowers, kissing, hugging and love in the air.

I felt that most of them have no idea about how to propose how to offer a gift.

we have seen :

offering gifts and flower with carry bag. (You should give gift not a carry bag too)

roadside is not the place to propose. sit on knee on road will not give you atmosphere to make proposal and feeling of love.

The perfect atmosphere to propose is:

Soft instrumental music, candle lights, soft toys, balloons.

have some dance with your partner. propose her red flowers gifts and then propose your love.

20 Things Every CIO Should Know Before Starting an ERP Implementation

2011-01-06T03:07:00.000-08:00

1. ERP is about your business, not the technology.
2. ERP initiatives are very challenging.
3. Selecting the right software is the first step in a successful ERP implementation.
4. No ERP software is perfect. All have their strengths, weaknesses, and tradeoffs.
5. A business blueprint is the second step to an effective ERP implementation.
6. Business process re-engineering should happen before, not after, you implement your ERP software.
7. ERP software best practices and pre-configured solutions do not solve all the challenges of ERP.

change_default attribute

2011-01-06T02:16:00.001-08:00

Use of change_default attribute.

Example.
'zip': fields.char('Zip', change_default=True, size=24),

By default value of change_default is False, If change_default=True then while setting default value on any field we can make that field dependent on value of the other field of the same object which has change_default=True.

Here is the video to explain the functionality.

Enterprise Resource Planning

2010-12-24T04:12:00.000-08:00

ERP

ERP stands for Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP is a way to integrate the data and processes of an organization into one single system. Usually ERP systems will have many components including hardware and software, in order to achieve integration, most ERP systems use a unified database to store data for various functions found throughout the organization.

The term ERP originally referred to how a large organization planned to use organizational wide resources. In the past, ERP systems were used in larger more industrial types of companies. However, the use of ERP has changed and is extremely comprehensive, today the term can refer to any type of company, no matter what industry it falls in. In fact, ERP systems are used in almost any type of organization - large or small.

In order for a software system to be considered ERP, it must provide an organization with functionality for two or more systems. While some ERP packages exist that only cover two functions for an organization (QuickBooks: payroll & accounting), most ERP systems cover several functions.

Today's ERP systems can cover a wide range of functions and integrate them into one unified database. For instance, functions such as Human Resources, Supply Chain Management, Customer Relations Management, Financials, Manufacturing functions and Warehouse Management functions were all once stand alone software applications, usually housed with their own database and network, today, they can all fit under one umbrella - the ERP system.

Integration is Key to ERP's

Integration is an extremely important part to ERP's. ERP's main goal is to integrate data and processes from all areas of an organization and unify it for easy access and work flow. ERP's usually accomplish integration by creating one single database that employs multiple software modules providing different areas of an organization with various business functions.

Although the ideal configuration would be one ERP system for an entire organization, many larger organizations usually create and ERP system and then build upon the system and external interface for other stand alone systems which might be more powerful and perform better in fulfilling an organizations needs. Usually this type of configuration can be time consuming and does require lots of labor hours.

The Ideal ERP System

An ideal ERP system is when a single database is utilized and contains all data for various software modules. These software modules can include:

Manufacturing: Some of the functions include; engineering, capacity, workflow management, quality control, bills of material, manufacturing process, etc.

Financials: Accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, general ledger and cash management, etc.

Human Resources: Benefits, training, payroll, time and attendance, etc

Supply Chain Management: Inventory, supply chain planning, supplier scheduling, claim processing, order entry, purchasing, etc.

Projects: Costing, billing, activity management, time and expense, etc.

Customer Relationship Management: sales and marketing, service, commissions, customer contact, calls center support, etc.

Data Warehouse: Usually this is a module that can be accessed by an organizations customers, suppliers and employees.

ERP's Improve Productivity

Before ERP systems, each department in an organization would most likely have their own computer system, data and database. Unfortunately, many of these systems would not be able to communicate with one another or need to store or rewrite data to make it possible for cross computer system communication. For instance, the financials of a company were on a separate computer system than the HR system, making it more intensive and complicated to process certain functions.

Once an ERP system is in place, usually all aspects of an organization can work in harmony instead of every single system needing to be compatible with each other. For large organizations, increased productivity and less types of software are a result.

Implementation of an ERP System

Implementing an ERP system is not an easy task to achieve, in fact it takes lots of planning, consulting and in most cases 3 months to 1 year +. ERP systems are extraordinary wide in scope and for many larger organizations can be extremely complex. Implementing an ERP system will ultimately require significant changes on staff and work practices. While it may seem reasonable for an in house IT staff to head the project, it is widely advised that ERP implementation consultants be used, due to the fact that consultants are usually more cost effective and are specifically trained in implementing these types of systems.

One of the most important traits that an organization should have when implementing an ERP system is ownership of the project. Because so many changes take place and its broad effect on almost every individual in the organization, it is important to make sure that everyone is on board and will help make the project and using the new ERP system a success.

Usually organizations use ERP vendors or consulting companies to implement their customized ERP system. There are three types of professional services that are provided when implementing an ERP system, they are Consulting, Customization and Support.

Consulting Services - usually consulting services are responsible for the initial stages of ERP implementation, they help an organization go live with their new system, with product training, workflow, improve ERP's use in the specific organization, etc.

Customization Services - Customization services work by extending the use of the new ERP system or changing its use by creating customized interfaces and/or underlying application code. While ERP systems are made for many core routines, there are still some needs that need to be built or customized for an organization. Support Services- Support services include both support and maintenance of ERP systems. For instance, trouble shooting and assistance with ERP issues.

Advantages of ERP Systems

There are many advantages of implementing an EPR system; here are a few of them:

A totally integrated system
The ability to streamline different processes and workflows
The ability to easily share data across various departments in an organization
Improved efficiency and productivity levels
Better tracking and forecasting
Lower costs
Improved customer service

Disadvantages of ERP Systems

While advantages usually outweigh disadvantages for most organizations implementing an ERP system, here are some of the most common obstacles experienced:

Usually many obstacles can be prevented if adequate investment is made and adequate training is involved, however, success does depend on skills and the experience of the workforce to quickly adapt to the new system.

Customization in many situations is limited
The need to reengineer business processes
ERP systems can be cost prohibitive to install and run
Technical support can be shoddy
ERP's may be too rigid for specific organizations that are either new or want to move in a new direction in the near future.

Dating Tips

2010-12-24T03:19:00.000-08:00

First dates create first impressions, so it is important to be creative in the planning process. Very often, first dates are an opportunity for a man and woman can express their true selves in creative and exciting ways. There are many creative and romantic things a couple can do on their first date. Some men like to keep everything a surprise from their date until they actually go out, while others like to plan with their partner. It is really a personal decision as to how you approach this. The important thing is that you find yourselves having fun and exploring your romantic potential together.

If you are looking for a neutral place to have a first date, where you both would feel comfortable to meet and talk, a coffee shop is an ideal spot. Coffee shops generally have a very relaxed atmosphere which allows people to sit and talk and that can be the best thing to do on a first date sometimes.

On the other hand if a person goes to a movie on a first date, they basically sit next to each other for almost 2 hours and don’t have an opportunity to talk and get to know each other. If a person does go to a movie on a first date though, it is a good idea to meet for coffee first or even after so that you both have a chance to talk together and get to know each other.

Other first date options may be to go to a dinner ,a museum, a concert, a walk in the park or even go on a picnic together. One of the most romantic things to do on a first date is to surprise a girl with something that you know she will like. Flowers and chocolates generally appeal to most women for instance.

You can learn a lot about a person on a first date with them. If you decide to go out for coffee, make sure to be a good listener and observer and ask lots of questions too. If the coffee talk goes well, plan to extend the evening and do something you both enjoy like go for a walk or go dancing. The important thing about first dates is that you are open to learning about the person you are with and sharing all the things that you are with them. A first date is a mutual journey to discover each other in many ways.

Enjoy yourself and be creative!

Body Language on First Date:

If you really enjoy meeting people but tend to get nervous in social settings, there are a few things you can do to improve your situation. Above all, you must generate a positive attitude about it. If you think of socializing as stressful and difficult, others will sense that and be reluctant to approach you. Transmit confidence with positive body language and facial expressions. Stand up straight-don’t slouch. Make brief eye contact (not a blatant stare) instead of turning away or looking at the floor. If you get nervous, encourage contact and conversation by carrying a prop such as a book or magazine or an eye-catching accessory. Such an item will give others with common interests a reason to come over and talk to you.

Nervous people tend to sag their shoulders, lock their arms tightly around their bodies, stand rigidly, and stare at the ground or dart their eyes around. Confident people have an open stance, make eye contact, and lean toward the person they’re talking to. If close enough, they often show interest by lightly brushing your arm or shoulder to make a point.

Another way to be approachable, even if your heart is pounding with anxiety, is just to breathe deeply and smile. It’s hard to feel negative when there’s a smile on your face. The smile is a universal symbol of friendship and it draws people to you. Smile often and (as the old song says) the whole world will smile with you!

Body language can turn people away but it can also invites them to approach you. Some “do’s” and “don’ts”.

Don’ts:

Lack of eye contact
Continual throat-clearing
Covering mouth with hands
Tugging at clothes
Jingling things in pockets
Fidgeting with accessories or clothes
Hand-wringing
Frowning or grimacing
Stepping backward or away

Do’s

Steady eye contact
Smiling
Leaning toward a person
Sitting on the edge of a chair
Periodic hand-to-face gestures
Moistening or licking lips
Watching someone else’s mouth as he talks
Arms at sides, as opposed to crossed
Brief physical contact (nonsexual)
Pointing arms, legs, or feet or all of the body toward a person

Anglo Saxon Accounting method module.

2009-08-12T02:32:00.000-07:00

This module will support the Anglo-Saxons accounting methodology by changing the accounting logic with stock transactions. The difference between the Anglo-Saxon accounting countries and the Rhine or also called Continental accounting countries is the moment of taking the Cost of Goods sold versus Cost of Sales.
Anglo-Saxons accounting does take the cost when sales invoice is created, Continental accounting will take the cost at the moment the goods are shipped.
This module will add this functionality by using a interim account, to store the value of shipped goods and will contra book this interim account when the invoice is created to transfer this amount to the debtor or creditor account.

Second goal is to allow creating automatic analytic entries when writing general entries manually through: Finance > Entries > By Journal.
For example, the analytic structure:

Projects

Project 1

SubProj 1.1

SubProj 1.2

Project 2

Salesman

Eric
Fabien

Here, we can have two plans: Projects and Salesman. An invoice line will write analytic entries in the 2 plans: SubProj 1.1 and Fabien. The amount will also be splitted,

example:

Plan1:
SubProject 1.1 : 50%
SubProject 1.2 : 50%
Plan2:
Eric: 100%

So when this line of invoice will be confirmed it will generate 3 analytic lines.

sale_analytic_plans

This module will add analytic_distribution field into sale order line, So that from sale order line we can create multiple analytic lines according to defined analytic plan.

purchase_analytic_plans

This module will add analytic_distribution field into purchase order line, So that from purchase order line we can create multiple analytic lines according to defined analytic plan.

sales_purchase_seq

2008-02-15T21:08:00.000-08:00

sales_purchase_seq is a module to manage sales and purchase sequence. Now when we open sales or purchases order and just close it without creating sales or purchase orders, it will automatically increase the sequence of a particular order.
This module avoid such holes between the sequence, so that when you create a new order it will increase the sequence otherwise the sequence will not be increased.

mrp_operations Module Introduction

2008-02-08T05:27:00.000-08:00

This module adds state, date_start,date_stop and delay in production order operation lines (in the "Workcenters" tab)
State: draft, confirm, done, cancel
When finishing/confirming,canceling production orders set all state lines to the according state.
Create menus:
Production Management > All Operations
Production Management > All Operations >Production Orders to Do (State=Confirm)
Production Management > All Operations >Waiting Production Orders (state=Draft)
Which is a view on "Workcenters" lines in production order,editable tree

Add buttons in the form view of production order under workcenter tab:
* start (set state to confirm), set date_start
* done (set state to done), set date_stop
* set to draft (set state to draft)
* cancel set state to cancel

When the production order becomes "ready to produce", operations must become 'confirmed'. When the production order is done, all operations must become done.

The field delay is the delay(stop date - start date).
So that we can compare the theoretic delay and real delay.
