Re: Crowdfunding campaign for manufacturing modules

 

Hi, Fabien,

Thank you very much for answering our questions. Indeed, v8 WMS is a huge
improvement to take in mind, so we will plan the development accordingly,
but we don't want to skip a version, because v7 lifecycle is still long I
think (at least until Q2 2014, and then, the migration window). The stock
handling part in OpenMRP v7 will be a minor adaptation of current v6.1, and
we will focus the improvements for this part for v8.

Regards.
