MultiCompany Configuration in OpenERP !

OpenERP Version 7 supports multi-company environment. We have created 3 companies to explain the feature. Go to Settings> Companies> Companies. See the image below.

Here, ‘Serpent Consulting Services’ is set as a parent company, ‘Sub Company 1’ and ‘Sub Company 2’ are set as children companies. You may see the structure of the companies as > follows:

Now, we have to configure chart of accounts for each company. To do that, go to Settings> Configuration> Invoicing. You have to select the company and you have to select Chart of Account Template. You have to click on ‘Install more chart template’ to see the list of country specific chart of account. You may select from the list. See the following image:

After configuring  chart of accounts for each company, you have to configure warehouse locations. For that, go to Warehouse> Configuration> Locations. If you are not able to see the option Locations, go to Settings> Configuration> Warehouse. In ‘Location and Warehouse’ there is a checkbox ‘Manage multiple locations and warehouses’. Check it and click on apply. See the image below.

After that, go to Warehouse> Configuration> Locations. Configure locations for each companies. In the form view, there is a ‘Company’ field.  Enter the name of respective company when you create Locations. Refer the image below.

Now, for Warehouse configuration, go to Warehouse> Configuration> Warehouses. Create separate warehouses for separate companies. For each warehouse you have to define Location Input, Location Stock and Location Output. And for each warehouse you have to enter the name of respective company. Image below is the list view of the Warehouses.

After warehouse, you have to configure Shop. You will find shop at Sales> Configuration> Shop. Create shop for each company. Each shop is integrated with one warehouse. While creating a shop, select correct warehouse for corresponding company. In the following image you can see 3 shops in the list view.

Next is the configuration of the products. You may configure any product as a global product or as a product specific to a company. You will see products in Sales, Purchase and Warehouse. Go to Warehouse> Products> Products.

In the Product form view, there is a field ‘Company’ in the third tab ‘Inventory’.

To make a product global, keep the company field blank. ‘demo product’ is a global product. ‘demo SCS product’ is a product belonged to Serpent Consulting Services company. ‘demo sub product 1’ is belonged to Sub Company 1 and ‘demo sub product 2’ is belonged to Sub Product 2. Admin use can see all products.

Now, you can configure users for different companies. To configure user, go to Settings> Users> Users. Click on ‘Create’ to create a new user. In the form view, you can enter the details like User’s name, Login name, password etc. You will also see ‘Company’ field. Here, 4 users are created. One is Admin user, ‘serpentcs’ user belongs to ‘Serpent Consulting Services’ company, user ‘Sub user 1’ belongs to ‘Sub Company 1’ and user ‘Sub user 2’ belongs to ‘Sub Company 2’. Users can only be assigned to the companies specified in the list of ‘Allowed Companies’ (It can be found at user’s form second tab). Check the following image of user form view.

Multi-Company configuration of OpenERP is done now. You can also configure Partners separately for different companies when you multi-company environment.

Now, in multi-company, sharing of information is done such as the user can see the products configured for child company and the parent company. But the user cannot see the products configured for another child company. Suppose the user of Sub Company 1, ssu1, logs in, user can see the products of Sub Company 1 and Serpent Consulting Services. See the following image.

Similarly, when the user who belonged to Sub Company 2 logged in, the user can see the product configured for the child company Sub Company 2 and parent company Serpent Consulting Services. See the image below.

When the user of parent company Serpent Consulting Services logs in, the user can see products of Parent Company and the children companies.

Now, Login as user of Sub Company 1. Create a Quotation. When you select product to create order lines, you will see the list of products as below.

You may also configure child company as a parent company for a company. You will have 3 tier structure of Companies in single database.

Attrs in OpenERP Explained!

As an OpenERP Developer, you might come across such a situation where you would like to make one or some fields readonly or mandatory or hide (‘invisible’ in OpenERP terminology) based on the values of other fields.

Well, then you are getting OpenERP Training just by reading this as the solutions here are explained by well versed OpenERP Trainers.

The solution here to your situation is ‘attrs’.

The attrs is an element in OpenERP which is responsible to alter the attributes of a field, not the value. The ‘attrs’ attribute can be used to dynamically change the attributes of view components based on the value of other fields. Buttons in OpenERP use states attribute for dynamic visibility, they too can be used with attrs. It can be used on field, page, group, button and notebook tags. Remember, there is no RPC call ever made because this is a pure client side attribute at view level.

The structure of ‘attrs‘ is a dictionary carrying the key as the client attribute and value as a set of domain(s),the keys could be:

• readonly
• invisible
• required

Structure : attrs=”{‘attribute’:Domain which is if true, the element will wear the new property ‘attribute’}”

Syntax of attrs : 

attrs=

”{‘readonly’:[('value','=','balance')],  ‘invisible’: ['|',('service','in',['OpenERP Support','OpenERP Training']),(‘company’,'=’,'SerpentCS’)]}”

/>

Result : If the domains are satisfied, the field ‘value_amount’ will be readonly in 1st case and will be hidden on 2nd case.

attrs=”{‘required’: [('parent_id', '=', False)]}”

/>
You can use any domains here but make sure there will be no server side calls made. So better to be limited at view level.

Attrs is reflected at view level per record, and hence that can never be applied at List view/ Tree view level.

Hope this makes you hungry to learn more about the beauty of OpenObject Framework. You can take the advantages of learning this greatly with us by attending our trainings.

Thanks,
Serpent Consulting Services

He was none other than "Priyesh Solanki"! Got him in the chat immediately and started talking in some rhythm. In 7 minutes or so, there was poem on this priyam Priyesh!

Though this is not the best yet, is surely good to enjoy. Will edit the one soon.

How to Boost Your Confidence at Work !

Dear Reader,

I know you are curious to improve your productivity, read following lines and achieve it! Having a great amount of confidence separates you from crowd, Just like a confident Tiger is everywhere saluted and respected.

You’re probably already aware that confidence plays an enormous role in success. When you exude confidence, you naturally attract others. People listen to you, follow you, and even buy products from you. Displaying confidence assures people that you know what you’re doing.

Even people with the highest levels of self-esteem feel unsure of themselves at times. Consider how difficult it is to be confident when you first start a new job and you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, you don’t feel fully comfortable with the routine, and you haven’t developed strong relationships with your co-workers yet. You probably don’t appear very confident.

There are a few simple tricks though that can help you boost your confidence at work, even when it’s down in the dumps. Whether you’re new to a job or just suffering a momentary fit of self-doubt, give these tips a try:

Fake it till you make it

Remember that confidence is all about perception. Acting confident is the first step to feeling confident. In the process of convincing others, you may actually convince yourself. Have you ever felt really down but you had to pretend like nothing was wrong? What happened?
Most of the time, you’ll find that demonstrating a positive attitude (whether or not you really feel it inside) will actually help lead you to feeling the same way. Project the confidence you want to feel and it will come to you. It’s all about your thought patterns. See yourself as a self-assured, outgoing, successful professional and eventually that is exactly what you will be.

Soak up knowledge and don’t be afraid to ask questions

No Question is ever silly, only the answers are. I believe confidence comes very naturally when you have a great deal of knowledge. Some of the best sales people are those who know their product inside and out. They feel secure with even the tiniest details. Soak up knowledge and don’t be afraid of showing others that you’re doing it. Don’t be shy about asking questions & you’ll usually find that others respect your inquisitiveness. It shows that you’re thinking, not just going through the motions.

Delete negative self talk

Nothing brings you down quite like an inner monologue that says “you’re not good enough”. Take a moment to listen to that voice and see if you’re guilty of negative self talk. When you’re faced with a challenge, do you hear yourself saying, “There’s no way you can do that”? When you make a mistake, do you hear yourself chide, “There you go again, you dummy”?
If so, you need to reprogram your brain. And lucky you;  you are human and can do it. It takes a lot of time and some dedicated, thoughtful activity, but the first step is to recognize what’s happening in your head. Go ahead and listen to the voices; take not of negativity and stop yourself. You and your brain are in this together and don’t let your inner critic run the show.

Avoid saying “I can’t”

Just saying these words makes you that much closer to failing. These words scream; “I don’t believe in myself! I see my limitations! I am afraid of failing!” Those are not the words of a confident person.
Confident people look a challenge in the eye and say; “I can.” Just saying “I can” makes you that much closer to success. These words scream; “I believe in my abilities! I am capable of achieving anything! I am not afraid!” Remember that failure is not a crime, but not trying is. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Again, mindset is half the battle. In the famous word of William Ward; “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”

Look the part

This is a fundamental rule of confidence. When you dress for success, you feel much stronger, more powerful. Also, how you present yourself has a big impact on how people perceive you. When you feel confident about the image you are projecting, you automatically project that confidence with it. It’s not vain to take pride in your appearance; it’s just good sense.
