The gtk-client are excelent and inmany cases will always be superior to a web client. In version 6.0 anf 6.1 the ambition has loosen the edge regarding to improve the client, there are some features that is not implemented from the web client.

Dropping the gtk-client or not improve it in the same phase as openerp in general will make openerp less competitive and less compelling fore some target users.

The possibility to export the content of accounting's official reports in .csv files.

-> To use it externally: other reporting, analysis, etc.

OpenERP should have a feature which provide writable/readonly attributes on a field by groupwise.

Request-system has been removed from clients between version 6.0 and 6.1. The res.request-model remains for now in the database, but is for less use for us who thought it was a good function. Its easy to build some views for it but it is much harder do bring it in to the client again for a local installation.

Use request as an error option, when an error uccurs that needs someone to do something create a request, not just a log. Logs are more just for information. Requests have a more powerful role.

Please make it easier to deploy, but more productive is more advance and more flexible to use. I hope there's more modules for industrial or manufacturing company.

I love the granularity of the installation process (install just only what I need). However, it would be nice if there were installation templates for various industries that would install the basic packages needed for that industry along with some suggested packages. For example, we are a manufacturing plant. It would be nice to choose a MANUFACTURING TEMPLATE and it automatically choose for installation the various sales, warehouse, mrp, etc. It could also allow for the adding on of additional modules to the template before beginning the installation (e.g., HR).

Now is very difficult to find some good documentation for almost modules, I think will be good for all to explain datailed how to work with every module, and with examples

We recently installed OpenERP and I probably have to put the project on hold since there is no easy way to use mutliple currencies. I just want to select dollar in a purchase order at the top and be done with it. Pricelists are to vague and for some reason, I can't even find them in OpenERP 6 (checked the modules and it should be there). Too hard to simply use an simple feature that should be default.

There are deb-files built at a daily basis to http://nightly.openerp.com/6.1/nightly/deb/ . If the build service that comes with launchpad.net was used instead, several advantages will ensue. First, the build service builds packages individually for more target operating systems - and if there is a problem with one its self marked. Second, its possible to copy and test a recent version with another PPA which makes distribution in an operational environment much easier.

it would be convenient if the invoice amount can be 0

Provide stable core integration with the most popular shopping carts (ie Magento, Presta etc) instead of having to use 3rd Party extensions in Alpha / Beta releases.

Openerp whould use a better nameing convention that includes base version and permit install of several versions in parallell. For example, if the name of openerp-client was openerp-client61 och openerp-client70 it would be much easier to handle an upgrade phase. The same for server-side, if version was part of name of config-files, install catalogs, start scripts etc management would be more professional.

Drupal has this nameing convention, for each new generation of Drupal since version 5. The package is named drupal[5678], installation is done in /usr/share/drupal[5678], configuration in /etc/drupal/[5678]/sites etc.

To add a pdf on a report, we purpose to implement a new tag like includepdf or something like that in the rml file.

Today, if we use the view that sorts modules by date, we got a list with modules that have changed. Even small changes like launguage changes will update change-date. Popular modules gets small changes every day so brand new modules are hidden.

With an additional view that consists on newly added modules makes it more easy to pick up exciting news.

OpenERP's online version is a great solution for every-mom-and-pop retailer (on- or off-line), but it is missing one critically important functionality. PRODUCT VARIANTS.

There is a module that exists, but seems that it needs to be cleaned up and/or properly rewritten.

I doubt I'm the only potential taker for such functionality within the SAAS Online version - but I let the votes decide

The user interface can be better. Using a clean and modern look will make the system more user friendly and easier to navigate.

Hi Guys, i am preparing a class on ERP systems and really love your openErp demo environment. Now i can delete the baan-slides from the presentation i inherited.
If anyone has a real actual powerpoint and maybe exercises to the demo-environment as an intro to ERP you'd be more then welcom. Students at dutch HBO level (university for applied sciences / polytechnic)
