We are happy to announce the availability of sort and filter options for function fields in our branch, which enhances

the user experience greatly :

https://code.launchpad.net/~c2c/openobject-server/6.0-c2c-official

Neither sort nor filter of function fields have created prohibitive performance issues so far in our tests. Our idea is to

provide the basic functionality for all function fields out of the box and fix performance bottlenecks for specific function

fields if necessary.

Please note that you have to add the following lines in the server config file.

———–

[orm]

fallback_search = True

———–

According to the policy of OpenERP SA this enhanced functionality will not be available in the official OpenERP 6.0

distributions as the lack of sorting and filtering of function fields is not considered as bug and hence will not be fixed.

We plan to provide a similar solution for 6.1 and hope that a merge proposal will be accepted for 6.2

I personally want to thanks Ferdinand Gassauer and Panos Christeas for their great work on this topic : well done !

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

Camptocamp était représentée en nombre avec une délégation de 6 personnes pour couvrir des thèmes aussi variés que: MapFish, OpenLayers mobile, GeoExt et PGRouting, la 3D (tant pour la partie serveur de processing des données que de la partie cliente en WebGL), GeoBi, le module GeoEngine d’OpenERP, etc.

Cette manifestation a vu le board OSGeo prononcer la graduation officielle du projet MapFish dans la communauté des logiciels labelisés OSGeo. Tous nos remerciements pour la confiance accordée au projet MapFish ainsi qu’à la communauté qui participe à ce succès.

Lors des conférences, nous avons pu découvrir des projets intéressants tels que MapMint, vérifier de nos propre yeux la vitalité du projet TinyOWS initié il y a quelques années par Camptocamp et qui est en train de rejoindre le giron de Mapserver. De  même, l’ETL GeoKettle est en train de prendre son essort avec une interface très soignée.

J’ai aussi pu assister à la conférence donnée par ESRI détaillant les motivations qui ont poussé cette entreprise propriétaire à publier leur geoCatalogue sous licence libre : les appels d’offre pour la refonte de l’Infrastructure Nationale Géographique Américaine émis dans le cadre de la démarche Open Government demandaient exclusivement de l’Open Source.

Nous avons porté un focus particulier aux technologies 3D qui éclosent et avons organisé un BOF afin de réunir autour d’une table tous les protagonistes. Le WebGL fait ses preuves au travers de multiples prototypes et ce BOF s’est conclu avec l’envie de fédérer dans une librairie cliente majeure tous ces développements pour fournir à la communauté le projet de référence pour ce qui touche au rendu 3D.

FOSS4G s’est achevé selon la tradition par le concours de performance des serveurs WMS (WMS Shoutout). Ce concours a vu Mapserver et Mapnik devancer de loin les autres protagonistes. A noter que cette compétition a pour but de faire progresser l’ensemble des serveurs WMS si bien que de nombreux conseils ont été échangés entre les projets. L’Open Source sous son meilleur angle: faire progresser les logiciels en partageant ses connaissances.

Samedi a eu lieu le code sprint auquel participaient 3 développeurs de Camptocamp. Cette journée a bénéficié entre autre aux projets OpenLayers, GeoExt, PGRouting et GeoNetwork.

La prochaine édition de FOSS4G se déroulera à Beijing. 2012 est aussi l’année qui devrait voir éclore des FOSS4G régionaux (Amérique du Nord, Europe, etc). Restez attentifs à ces magnifiques opportunités de rencontrer la communauté et d’approfondir vos connaissances dans ces logiciels!

• General ledger
• Partner ledger
• Trial balance
• Partner balance

…and smaller -but handy- reports which are accessible from the Journal entries menu or from the invoices list menu:

• print screen of selected entries
• print screen of selected invoices

Where to get this module?

You can download it from OpenERP Apps or from our launchpad branch : lp:c2c-financial-addons/6.0

Why a new module on financial reports?

Camptocamp Business Solutions team consists of technicians having both IT and/or finance backgrounds; we consequently had all the required internal competencies to develop such a module. Nevertheless, we also requested the validation of our work by two chartered accountants, both in France and in Switzerland.

In addition, we really have invested the necessary time to get reports with the following characteristics:

• Reliable: complex use cases tested over several fiscal years (closed or unclosed), partially paid invoices, multi-currency…

• Fast: 14min for 100′000 entry lines / 2′143 pages in pdf. This performance is reached with a simple PC (dual core; 4Gb RAM); getting the same report from a server is even better. We added that no extra dedicated server was necessary; a simple Webkit library (called ‘wkhtmltopdf’) added!

• Generic: these reports can be used in any country by any business

• Durable: Camptocamp would really like to see these reports become the most used reports in OpenERP because:
  - we have back-ported this module to v5
  - we will maintain these reports for all future OpenERP versions…unless OpenERP accept to use them as standard financial reports, which would be even better of course

A final question: why use Webkit?

At Camptocamp, we really do believe that Webkit is the best possible render engine for OpenERP for many reasons including these ones:

- It is Open Source
- It is already in the core of OpenERP
- It is used with success by well-known Web browsers such as Safari or Chrome
- it gives much more possibilities than RML: column auto-scaling, WYSIWYG, inheritance from others reports…
- it gives better performance without adding extra servers but a simple library.

General ledger

What can I now select from the wizard?

Tab 2 (click on the image to enlarge):

What does it look like?

What are the added functionalities?

• Filter by account: no need to go to the ‘Chart of account’ menu any longer. On top, you have the possibility to filter by view account, the report will then print all children accounts; hence, you can easily select only all P&L accounts at once.

• Only usefull accounts are listed: the report will now print only accounts with movements OR with a balance > 0. No more endless reports with accounts without data or with missing account because they were not used during the current fiscal year; now reports include accounts with a balance to carry forward (consequently, the field ‘display account’ is hidden on the wizard).

• Calculated opening balance: if you have not created your opening entries yet, the report will simply calculate the opening balance for you (it remains important to post opening entries if you do not want to loose performance over the years).

* You can filter, for example from 02/2011 to 06/2011 with an opening balance that will include not only previous years data but also data from the beginning of the fiscal year until the start period of your filter; so you will always match with your trial balance.

Note that no opening balance will be calculated when using the filter by date (correct balances are based on periods only).

• Account centralization: thanks to a new check-box in account set-up form, you have the possibility to centralize any accounts you like (for instance, you do not want to see all entries posted under the account ‘VAT on sales’); you will only see aggregated amounts by periods. This option can save hundreds of useless pages. See the screen shot below (click on the picture to enlarge):

• Layout improvement: with a better design and to ease your analysis, reports now show new columns such as Cumulative balances, Reconcile code, User name added on foot page (+ date, time, page), Counterpart accounts displayed for each transaction (3 accounts max.).

• Better wizard ergonomics: important information at the top, filters in the middle, options at the bottom, more specific filtering on a different tab. No more unique wizard layout for all financial reports (ex: we have removed the journal tab which was useless for the GL report).

• Better rendering technology: Webkit (used by Web browsers such as Safari or Chrome) allows an intelligent scalability of column size, WYSIWYG, and better performance.

• OpenERP reports existing functionalities remaining:
  - Filter on Chart of account (if you use several)
  - Filters on period or date (improved with opening balance)
  - Printing options: possibility to add currencies columns (improved with cumulative balance)

Partner ledger

What can I now select on the wizard?

What does it look like?

Please click on the image to enlarge

What are the added functionalities?

This report is, if you look closer, a TRIPLE report :

- You can only print unreconciled entries (see ‘print open invoices list’ below)
- You can make forecast to a later date (see ‘report date’ below)
- You can simply print all entries

• Filter by partner: now possible

• Print open invoices list: at any date in the past; possibility to print only unreconciled transactions at any date in the past (thanks to the brand-new field: last_rec_date which calculated the last move line reconciled date).

• Subtotals by accounts: now you can see accounts then Partner with subtotals for each account, allowing you to check your data with trial balance and partner balance for instance. Also, accounts are ordered in the same way than in the Chart of account.

• Layout improvement: better design, column ‘period’ added, reconciliation code, cumulative balances, user name added on foot page (+ date, time, page)…

• Opening balance calculation: for each partner (will not be based on opening entry anymore due to a defective design) and whatever the filter by period.

* Note that if you print the report ‘excluding reconciled entries’, the opening balance will be decreased by the previous year reconciled entries (ordered); no doing so will lead to have an ending balance that does not match the trial balance (or partner balance).

* Note that no opening balance will be calculated when using the filter by date (correct balances are based on period only).

• Report date: a new field called ‘report date’ in the wizard gives now the possibility to print open invoices as if you were positioning yourself at a later date. Example: you can print 2011 open invoices considered as open on the 31/03/2012. This financial tool (which is unfortunately not that often provided) is usually used for the closing process (example: to estimate your provision on receivables).

• Only useful accounts/partners listed: the report will now print only account / partner ‘with movements OR with a balance not null’.

• Better wizard ergonomics: (similar approach to GL report)

• Better rendering technology: (see comments for GL report)

• OpenERP reports existing functionalities remaining:
  - Filter by type of partner (receivables, payables or both)
  - Filter on Chart of account (if you use several)
  - Filters on period or date
  - Printing options: possibility to add currencies columns (improved)

This module is already providing users with the two main (and complex) reports. We are currently developing the other ones…Our target is to develop all reports by the end of October 2011. Be patient and please send us you feedback (openerp@camptocamp.com)!

For Camptocamp,

Frédéric Clementi

I wanted to let you know that Camptocamp has made some changes in the organisation of their branches on Launchpad. As apps.openerp.com will become the central portal to browse the community developments, we have then decided to move some of our contributions from extra-addons to the following projects:

• https://launchpad.net/c2c-addons : all our generic modules for OpenERP.
• https://launchpad.net/c2c-financial-addons : all our generic modules for OpenERP in relation to financial management.
• https://launchpad.net/c2c-specific-addons : all of our customers specific addons for OpenERP.
• https://launchpad.net/c2c-rd-addons : all of our R&D and work in progress for OpenERP.

All work made by our team will now be committed in these new branches (starting on version 6.0). The process has already been started and more will come very soon. We also decided to publish all specific work made for our customers; we thought you might be interested in taking a look.

Moreover, we just created the GeoEngine project on Launchpad! You’ll find there all developments made by our team to bring the spatial dimension into OpenERP:

Keep in touch!
