opentaps Quarterly Update

Click HERE to see the Quarterly update for opentaps open source ERP/CRM solution.

Technical (framework) changes include:

• Integrated hibernate search for indexing and searching data. We will be developing a user interface for search next.
• Replaced AspectJ with AspectWerkz as the library to support Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP)
• Upgraded to the new version of Jasper reports, so that it is now compatible with the new version of iReport (3.5.2) as well.
• Incorporate customer and sales analysis reports from opentaps analytics back into opentaps, accessible under opentaps CRM. In the future, opentaps analytics will work as a stand-alone application, or as a part of opentaps

Application changes include:

• New splash page.
• Converted invoices, orders, and quote PDF's to Jasper reports. These documents can now also be e-mailed with our Ajax browser email.
• Financial reports have been migrated to Jasper reports as well. This means trial balances, income statements, balance sheets, etc. can now be exported to PDF and Excel.
• New screens for creating and managing quotes.
• New screens for creating purchase orders.
• New Google Web Toolkit (GWT) grid for entering both invoices and orders.
• Support for keyboard shortcuts. For example, you can now configure keystrokes to perform tasks in opentaps, such as "F2" to create a new order.
• Supports calculating encumbrances from outstanding purchase orders, so you can use it as a budgeting tool.
