Hell in point of sale


  1.   def test_paid(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):     
  2.         """ Test all amount is paid for this order
  3.        @return: True
  4.        """
  5.         for order in self.browse(cr, uid, ids, context=context):
  6.             if order.lines and not order.amount_total:
  7.                 return True
  8.             if (not order.lines) or (not order.statement_ids) or \
  9.                 Decimal(str(order.amount_total)) != Decimal(str(order.amount_paid)):
  10.                 return False
  11.         return True

    Coming from the point_of_sale module in addons, find the hell!

    I help you, this code bugs the point of sale when we change the price accuracy of OpenERP

Tryton vs OpenERP: From internet Part 1

If you are going for the other direction (other than Django)I would really recommend tryton and keep the hell away of openerp. Tryton is really open source. openerp is just like compiere, openbenbravo and many others: "Was truly open source" than, came the money!!
We made the change a while ago. I took a lot of work. Spare yourself this trouble. Go Tryton!

Annoying bug: XML/RPC should return integer faultcodes

from https://bugs.launchpad.net/openerp/+bug/257581

OpenERP doesn't respect the XML-RPC standards, returning a string as faultcodes, this breaks a lot of Java applications integrations according to the bug.


at www.xmlrpc.com :
"The <methodResponse> could also contain a <fault> which contains a <value> which is a <struct> containing two elements, one named <faultCode>, an <int> and one named <faultString>, a <string>."
Tiny Erp return a string and not an int. It's not very clear on the xmlrpc website but for exemple the apache java xmlrpc client understand only integers

The OpenERP effect: Richard's Success, are you kidding?

http://www.scribd.com/doc/13773120/Richards-Success

Just take a look,

First, when you integrate a new application in a company, employees are happy if it is like before but faster but changing nothing in OpenERP because the slides don't talk about developments then employees are totally unhappy if you are using standards OpenERP views. They don't want to change they way they work.

If you integrate OpenERP like in the slide 26, you need to have a bridge with the other applications (then there is a cost)

BI module? Where do you have a nice BI module in OpenERP? This is just an unfinished buggy module

Can you do in OpenERP what you do with Outlook? Where? Why does OpenERP creates an Outlook plugin then?

Replacing Isabel? How?

These slides are just commercial but not showing real life, just post your comments about them...

Tryton vs OpenERP: Which is the best? Better modules or more modules?


I post the difference between Tryton and OpenERP, simply because I'm looking at Tryton for the moment to see how different it is from OpenERP and if it is better coded and easier for developers. Well for the moment I'm really surprised by the excellent quality of the code. Here is a VS sheet coming from Wikipedia.
