A big thank to Dhara and Sofia for their great work on DM.
It's been a long time since my last entry. This is in part because of the commitment to write in two languages and also because this end of year is very, very active.
We have been working on the spanish localization for version 5.0 and I'm glad to say that on my system almost everything is working alright. Some of the functionalities provided by the former localization project (creation of the chart of accounts, with any number of digits based on a template) is now provided by default, so some of the work just means keeping on track with the new developments.
I'm also writing a review of the account_asset module to be published here, but I got stuck in the middle. I hope to finish it soon and also a new account_renumber module that will be very helpful on some countries for the end of the year treatments.
If this doesn't sound enough, I'm also glad to announce our first Technical Training to be held on our offices in Pamplona (northern Spain). You can contact me here for more info if you are interested. There are a few places available.
Han pasado unos cuantos días desde mi última entrada. La exigencia de escribir en dos idiomas es algo que da cierta pereza, además de la cantidad de trabajo que se nos está acumulando a final de año.
Hemos estado trabajando en la localización española para la versión 5.0 y estoy muy satisfecho porque en mi sistema funciona prácticamente todo sin problemas. Todavía hay que validar algunas cuestiones pero esperamos liberar todo en breve. Algunas funcionalidades aportadas por la anterior localización (como la creación del plan de cuentas con un número de dígitos determinado) están ahora presentes por defecto, de modo que parte del trabajo sencillamente consiste en mantener el código al día.
Estoy escribiendo también un artículo sobre el módulo de gestión de activos 'account_asset', pero lo tengo a medias. También hemos estado trabajando en un módulo de renumeración de asientos contables que será de utilidad para muchas empresas de cara al cierre de ejercicio.
Si todo lo anterior no parece mucho, me congratulo en anunciar nuestro primer curso de Formación Técnica sobre OpenERP, que tendrá lugar en Pamplona entre los días 24 y 28 de Noviembre. Si alguien está interesado todavía quedan algunas plazas. Me podeis contactar aquí mismo.

Here is a small screencast that shows the improved CRM features of Open ERP 5.0. The CRM module comes with a configuration wizards that allows you to pre-configure the system automatically, asking you some questions so that it fits perfectly your needs.
As an example, the above screencast shows the use of the leads and opportunities. It start by showing a lead definition and creating a partner from this lead. From this partner, we schedule a meeting in the calendar.
After this, we come back to leads and generate an opportunity based on a lead. The wizard helps you to convert the lead and assign sales informations like the expected revenues. Then, we use the process management system to describe the flow of the selected opportunity.
After this, I connect through FTP to the document management system of Open ERP. The DMS has been connected to partners, so that I can browse partners by categories from the FTP access. You can browse any document of your system using this FTP connection. That's very useful to provide limited accesses to your customers to some documents of the system. It's automatically configured if you install the portal modules.
I finished by showing our new calendar synchronisation system that can be integrated with your mobile phone, outlook or any calendar system. In this example, I connected my meetings with Sunbird, the calendar of the Mozilla project.
This will be great feature for the OpenERP, for sending automatic email based on the business process, very easy to configuration OpenERP for sending an automatic email just after confirmation the Invoice.
Here is an Video that explain how we can configure the server action for sending email.
We are happy to announce that we have added new partners in OpenERP community. They are very much experts in their core technical areas. Now we have joined hands with them.
Since we published last week the development of Medical, we have received many emails asking us about the module. We are very happy about the interest of the medical community even at this early stage !
This entry summarizes the main aspects of the module:
Medical is an EMR (Electronic Medical Record) module for OpenERP. It has most of the functionality to run in a doctor's office or institution.
Medical aims to be a 100% paperless way of practicing medicine.
The main functionality covers :
- Patient Administration (creation, history, follow-ups) - Doctor Administration - Lab Administration - Medicine / Drugs information (vademécum) - Medical stock and supply chain management ( including pharmaceuticals and drugs ) - Demographics and other statistical reports - Financial Administration (Invoicing, ...).
The data model is designed in such a way that centralizes the information, so no duplication occurs.
On the other hand, medical optimizes collaboration and communication between health professionals. For example, a doctor may request an specific lab test for a patient, this is processed by the pathologist which diagnoses it and inputs the result on the system. The doctor now has all the analysis information linked to the patient chart.
Medical allows to attach documents (X-rays, Biopsy results, ... ) to the Patient chart.
Security : It will follow the access control and security model of OpenERP 5.0
Internationalization : The main language will be English, but it can be easily translated to any other language using OpenERP 5.0 module translation. The Spanish version will exist concurrently with the english version. Medical will also allow different units of measures (UoMs) of an specific country, but it focus on industry standards.
Collaboration: In the developmen of "medical", we are working side-by-side with doctors, so they provide their real life experience to make "Medical" the best EMR system. Of course, the more feedback and input we get from the medical community, the more complete the system will be, so please send us your suggestions to medical@thymbra.com .
Availability: An alpha version should be available with the upcoming stable version of OpenERP 5.0
License: "Medical" is free software. It's licensed under GPL (GNU General Public License)
So as promised, this is the second post to give you some glimpse of one the most exciting new feature of upcoming version 5.0 of the web client, the View Editor. Which lets you change the view of any resource easily.
Let's see the view designer in action...
You can see, how easy it is to customize objects and their views. The changes made with the view editor will be saved for all users.
Additionally, in this upcoming major release, you will see some RAD tools included with the web client like Object Designer and Workflow Designer. With these tools, you can customize the OpenERP without writing a single line of code (more on this later)...ter

At Thymbra we are proud to announce the development of an Electronic Medical Record - EMR - for OpenERP.
"medical" combines the versatility of OpenERP with the power of EMR.
Electronic Medical Record is a paperless way of keeping track of all the patients encounters / visits to the doctor. This way, any doctor can have the latest information about a patient, including Rx, allergies, current medications, surgeries, etc...
The medical module will include a Vademecum to update, which will allow the doctor to prescribe a specific medication to the patient from a current list.
Lastly, the medical module can also be used at hospitals and clinics. It will be able to invoice, make room reservations, inventory control, etc...
If you are interested, please send us an email to medical@thymbra.com
We are celebrating the first anniversary of the Thymbra OpenERP Academy in Latin America.
During this year, in Thymbra we have had people from all over Latin America. From Argentina and Uruguay to Spain, Ecuador and Venezuela.
The number of students is growing exponentially, proportionally to the interest and involvement of the Latin America community in OpenERP.
Since we started our partnership with Tiny in 2005, the number implementations and students just keeps growing.
This proves our slogan
"Three decades of [r]evolution : GNU (1980s ) -> Linux (1990s) -> OpenERP (2000)"
The OpenERP academy in Latin America is the only one who has the certification from Belgium Tiny SPRL in Spain and Latin America.
Last but not least, thank you very much to all of you who have trusted us in the implementations and in the academy. Retailers, service companies, universities, manufacturers.... This is just the beginning ....
Thymbra is committed to bring the best in localization, implementation and educational services to all the companies, in Spain and Latin America.
Last week, we went to the meeting Solutions ERP in Paris (CNIT, La Defense). It's the biggest meeting related to enterprise management software in France. It was a very big success, where we got about 200 customers requests in three days.
It was quite funny because the Open ERP booth was just near the SAP and the Cegid one. The following photo explains well the situation: during these three days, SAP salesman saw the back of the visitors, while they were looking at Open ERP :)
Open ERP on the left - SAP on the right.
I thanks our partners that were present with us: Network Assistance, Axelor, Smile and Syleam. You can get more photos here.
PS: We are working on a SorrySAP.com campaign, any suggestion is welcome. Send them to me by email.
