Re: accounting requirements

 

Hi Everybody,

I am not agree that OpenERP is unusable for accounting purpose => we have
implemented lot of projects and it works fine. Of course we have invested a
lot of time and money to developp a real localisation (l10n_ch etc..) but
now we can say that it work fine.

Sure there are some features that is missing. That exactly why I suggested
months ago to have these community days => it is really more simple to
discuss together about new features if we can show us.

Concerning this point, I will have the honnor to manage (like last year) the
"Finance and accounting workshop" during the next community days => I will
send an email in a few hours to have a list (blueprints) of all things that
you consider important to ask and decide during the community days => the
agenda of the workshop will be sent some days before the meeting.

Regads
