OERPScenario, the test suite for OpenERP

March 10th, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi!

On February 12, 2010, at the last IRC meeting between OpenERP SA and the Official Partners, OERPScenario has been accepted as the Official test suite for the version 5.0 of OpenERP. Camptocamp is very proud of this milestone since our team has spent a lot of energy in the development of this project, allowing OpenERP to become more stable and more reliable.

In order to scale up this project, we recently improved the usage and ease of the test launching by reviewing the tags.

We are also currently working to implement OERPScenario into the continuous integration server of OpenERP: http://test.openobject.com .  This will guarantee the use of the test suite in the development process, the resulting tests being run before every release.

Your contributions are essential to help us write scenarios ; for this purpose,  we created a documentation. This documentation concerns both technical and business individuals and will be soon included in the http://doc.openerp.com website. For now, you can have access to it by downloading the following pdf : http://dev.camptocamp.com/files/OERPScenario/documentation.pdf

Business individulas can easily write scenarios description using the Gherkin Syntax as explained into the documentation. Feel free to add your own as a blueprint on Launchpad :

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oerpscenario

Camptocamp will write them all as soon as possible, but developers are welcome to help us :)

Feel free to ask your questions in OERPScenario’s FAQ (https://answers.launchpad.net/oerpscenario ), we’ll be happy to help you understand, use and contribute to OERPScenario.

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

Customizing OpenERP to support international companies

March 2nd, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi,

I am proud to announce the integration of Camptocamp’s work in the future stable version of OpenERP. It took place a few days ago in the trunk branch! This work consisted of improving the management of the multi-company component in OpenERP. It is now possible to define, for each product and each company, the currency and the price field to assign to a specific product.

Our contribution resulted in the following improvements:

  • Use the new company defined price type (currency and field) for a product
  • Adapt stock accounting
  • Adapt analytic accounting and Timesheet
  • Factorize part of the code to ease the maintenance (mostly in analytic accounting)
  • Add the multi-currency fesature on analytic lines (therefore, making it similar to the financial accounting)
  • Correct the analytic indicators to take care of multi-currency entries
  • Keep the same default setting to ease the transition to the new feature

As a result, it is now possible for companies to  share the same product between them, eventhough they don’t use the same currency and/or same cost price. This applies to  manufacturing companies and services companies, as this improvement concerns both stock and analytic accounting.

We can manage one field per company on the product form to store the cost of a given price type (and so for a given company). This simplifies the price updating quite a lot.

Browsing the analytic account on the tree view now displays the right values according to each account currency!

We also back-port those modules on the current stable version, in the extra-addons branch with the following names:

  • c2c_multicost_base
  • c2c_multicost_expense
  • c2c_multicost_project_timesheet
  • c2c_multicost_stock
  • c2c_multicost_timesheet
  • c2c_multicost_timesheet_invoice
  • c2c_multicost_user_function

More news soon about our next contribution!

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

One Time Password on OpenERP by Camptocamp

February 22nd, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi,

Camptocamp is proud to announce the release of 2 new modules and a specific branch of the GTK client, providing OpenERP with OTP (One Time Password). The GTK client has been modified and now presents a third field on the login form, preventing overload on the OpenERP server.

The server part is composed of two modules:

  • The first one, supporting OTP in a generic way (handling session, …)
  • The second one, providing support for the Yubikey system (http://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey/).

You can download the GTK client here:

bzr clone bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~c2c/openobject-client/5.0-c2c-otp/

…and find the following server modules in the official extra-addons branch:

  • c2c_one_time_password_login
  • c2c_one_time_password_login_yubikey_provider

If you want to try it, buy a yubikey, download the client and install both modules. You just need to provide the Yubikey identifier on the required user. That’s it !

Feel free to make your comments or contributions to support another OTP system.

Enjoy !

Joël Grand-Guillaume
