2009-01-15 00:02 <panthera> has anyone tried to use the openerp webfrontend with tryton already?
2009-01-15 00:41 -!- udono(n=udono@dynamic-unidsl-85-197-23-76.westend.de) has joined #tryton
2009-01-15 01:28 <vengfulsquirrel> Is there any functionality to do record versioning in tryton?
2009-01-15 01:30 <vengfulsquirrel> *Or some code where that design-pattern is implemented
2009-01-15 02:08 <X0d_of_N0d> vengfulsquirrel: for bom revisioning?
2009-01-15 02:11 <vengfulsquirrel> X0d_of_N0d: Yeah I'm just not sure how to go about doing that in a reliable way, wanted to look at an example.
2009-01-15 02:11 <X0d_of_N0d> hum...
2009-01-15 02:13 <vengfulsquirrel> I'm not sure how critical that feature is but I wanted to see if it was easy. I'm kind of worried that the planning might get all f'ed up if the bom's are writable.
2009-01-15 02:13 <X0d_of_N0d> hum...
2009-01-15 02:13 <X0d_of_N0d> well...
2009-01-15 02:13 <X0d_of_N0d> are you trying to impliment some testing code?
2009-01-15 02:15 <vengfulsquirrel> No I implemented something yesterday but it wasn't related to production at all. I'm still just planning but its starting to get a little more specific.
2009-01-15 02:15 <X0d_of_N0d> There are a couple of ways I've seen revisions implimented...
2009-01-15 02:16 <X0d_of_N0d> the first way is to just dump everything into one database and have a revision field. Each time a bom is changed you change the rev
2009-01-15 02:17 <X0d_of_N0d> When a work order is actually issued that is linked to a bom AND a rev, so once a bom is created it's essentially immutable
2009-01-15 02:17 <X0d_of_N0d> ACTION thinks... hum... created it's immutable, that's repeditive huh...
2009-01-15 02:18 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah I was thinking something like that
2009-01-15 02:19 <X0d_of_N0d> tinyerp does it a different way
2009-01-15 02:19 <vengfulsquirrel> Is a work order essentially a request to produce some product ?
2009-01-15 02:19 <X0d_of_N0d> ACTION looks through the code
2009-01-15 02:19 <X0d_of_N0d> I should have said production order
2009-01-15 02:20 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah well I was thinking Purchase Request,Purchase would parallel Production Requestion, Production Run.
2009-01-15 02:20 <X0d_of_N0d> a work order is more along the lines of something that would be created for each stop in the route
2009-01-15 02:21 <vengfulsquirrel> Hmm
2009-01-15 02:21 <X0d_of_N0d> sounds right
2009-01-15 02:22 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah so for a routing with 3 workcenters you'd have 3 work orders?
2009-01-15 02:22 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah, because if they were all essentially the same you'd just have one work order that said "move this to these three places"
2009-01-15 02:23 <X0d_of_N0d> hum... maybe
2009-01-15 02:24 <vengfulsquirrel> So does a Production Request/Production Run sort of parallel a Route-Stop/Work Order but the first is super high level compared to the second one.
2009-01-15 02:25 <vengfulsquirrel> A production run would be scheduled by using the routing to send work orders to each workcenter all to which would satisfy a production request.
2009-01-15 02:25 <X0d_of_N0d> vengfulsquirrel: production request=make something, work order=do this step in the process
2009-01-15 02:25 <X0d_of_N0d> vengfulsquirrel: so yeah, as far as I know that seems right...
2009-01-15 02:25 <X0d_of_N0d> right
2009-01-15 02:25 <vengfulsquirrel> So this approach works well will the two phase implementation for the most part but there are some glaring problems.
2009-01-15 02:26 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah?
2009-01-15 02:27 <vengfulsquirrel> A production schedule consists of a fixed-width periods, basic scheduling would use lead times on each bom to place production requests into each period based on some product demand. That's pretty much MRP I.
2009-01-15 02:28 <vengfulsquirrel> Then production runs could be created to satisfy those production requests as each scheduling period comes up.
2009-01-15 02:28 <X0d_of_N0d> well... workcenters can also have lead times and breakdown times
2009-01-15 02:28 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah yeah I'm ignoring routings and workcenters completely right now.
2009-01-15 02:28 <X0d_of_N0d> ok
2009-01-15 02:29 <vengfulsquirrel> So that is a complete basic system with no shop floor control and no capacity planning.
2009-01-15 02:29 <vengfulsquirrel> It just allows people to do MRP I and assign inventory to production runs.
2009-01-15 02:30 <X0d_of_N0d> and apparently the inventory control isn't bad in tinyerp, so we may be able to reuse some of the code
2009-01-15 02:30 <vengfulsquirrel> Now if we stack floor control planning on that, one way is to just use the same rough planning and then schedule things on the shop floor based on the production requests assigned to each period.
2009-01-15 02:30 <X0d_of_N0d> It's primarily that the bom structure SUCKS in tinyerp, so much so that it's not usable
2009-01-15 02:30 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah everytime I look at it .. I just don't get it.
2009-01-15 02:31 <vengfulsquirrel> I really have no idea how their system works.
2009-01-15 02:31 <vengfulsquirrel> But setting lead times by BOM is pretty rough.
2009-01-15 02:31 <vengfulsquirrel> You want to set the lead time at each workcenter possibly with setup/cleanup times as well.
2009-01-15 02:31 <X0d_of_N0d> exactly
2009-01-15 02:31 <X0d_of_N0d> it's much more accurate
2009-01-15 02:32 <X0d_of_N0d> but sometimes when you order something there's a lead time there too...
2009-01-15 02:32 <X0d_of_N0d> which I think is actually covered in the products module
2009-01-15 02:32 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah that will be in the BOM as well
2009-01-15 02:32 <vengfulsquirrel> hmm I was thinking you'd have a procurement type: Produce, Purchase and a procuement lead time
2009-01-15 02:33 <X0d_of_N0d> oh, one note that I've been thinking about with boms. Boms should always be linked to items
2009-01-15 02:33 <vengfulsquirrel> How often do you have the option to do both ?
2009-01-15 02:34 <vengfulsquirrel> Sorry so my point earlier was I was going to do two-level scheduling: A rough level to place production requests into periods and a low-level to schedule routings across the shop floor within each period.
2009-01-15 02:34 <vengfulsquirrel> I think that might not work very well for example if the capacity isn't there you have to start scheduling in the previuos period.
2009-01-15 02:35 <vengfulsquirrel> But at the same time doing low-level scheduling for an entire year doesn't sound right either.
2009-01-15 02:35 <vengfulsquirrel> Does that problem make sense?
2009-01-15 02:36 <X0d_of_N0d> scheduling is an issue that can be delt with after working out bom structure
2009-01-15 02:37 <X0d_of_N0d> The way I see it the first step is to figure out how to store boms in the database
2009-01-15 02:37 <X0d_of_N0d> then impliment that in tryton
2009-01-15 02:38 <vengfulsquirrel> Okay well I'm most concerned with the scheduling because until I see the clear path from phase one to phase two I can't start on phase one.
2009-01-15 02:38 <vengfulsquirrel> Anyways what do you mean linked to items?
2009-01-15 02:38 <X0d_of_N0d> in tinyerp when you build a bom you add sub boms to it so the structure is all boms
2009-01-15 02:38 <X0d_of_N0d> but this is very broken
2009-01-15 02:39 <X0d_of_N0d> to me the right thing to do would be to create a bom, then link that to an item,
2009-01-15 02:39 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah I don't think the use should connect the boms themselves.
2009-01-15 02:39 <vengfulsquirrel> *user
2009-01-15 02:39 <vengfulsquirrel> Every product has one bom(and its revisions) which consists of a list of products.
2009-01-15 02:39 <X0d_of_N0d> then when you add subassemblies you should add items that may or may not be linked to boms
2009-01-15 02:40 <X0d_of_N0d> well users have to generate the boms initially...
2009-01-15 02:40 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah the single-level boms.
2009-01-15 02:40 <X0d_of_N0d> or configurable boms
2009-01-15 02:40 <vengfulsquirrel> I think we are saying the same thing, what do you mean by item?
2009-01-15 02:40 <vengfulsquirrel> Product? Or something different?
2009-01-15 02:41 <X0d_of_N0d> a product
2009-01-15 02:41 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah, just different terminology
2009-01-15 02:41 <X0d_of_N0d> products shouldn't need to have boms linked to them... e.g. when you order a part you don'
2009-01-15 02:41 <X0d_of_N0d> don't need a bom for the part you order
2009-01-15 02:41 <X0d_of_N0d> but that product/part/whatever can be on a bom
2009-01-15 02:42 -!- ikks(n=igor@190.12.153.202) has joined #tryton
2009-01-15 02:42 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah but the bom will be childless and the procurement method will be marked in the bom as Purchase. Or that is what I was thinking.
2009-01-15 02:44 <X0d_of_N0d> why have a bom at all though?
2009-01-15 02:44 <vengfulsquirrel> Well the lead time needs to be stored somewhere.
2009-01-15 02:44 <X0d_of_N0d> it's one more thing to create and manage
2009-01-15 02:45 <X0d_of_N0d> lead times for an ordered product are stored in the product
2009-01-15 02:45 <X0d_of_N0d> ACTION goes to look at the ui for a sec
2009-01-15 02:45 <X0d_of_N0d> hum... they were in tinyerp I thought...hum
2009-01-15 02:47 <X0d_of_N0d> well lead times for ordered itmes should be stored in the same place as prices... they're generally per vendor
2009-01-15 02:47 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah ha god I was afraid of that.
2009-01-15 02:47 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah, sucks doesn't it
2009-01-15 02:47 <vengfulsquirrel> Good luck scheduling system.
2009-01-15 02:47 <vengfulsquirrel> I hope everyone has a main-frame or 50 p4s.
2009-01-15 02:47 <X0d_of_N0d> it's not complex, just a lot of work
2009-01-15 02:48 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah I guess that might be simpler, rather than entering 40000 lead times you just enter one for the supplier of those 40000 products.
2009-01-15 02:48 <X0d_of_N0d> databases are pretty fast and well structured queries take care of most of these problems
2009-01-15 02:48 <vengfulsquirrel> Can you specify a supplier for a product ?
2009-01-15 02:48 <vengfulsquirrel> Like a default supplier ?
2009-01-15 02:48 <X0d_of_N0d> it doesn't look like you can right now
2009-01-15 02:48 <X0d_of_N0d> which is something we need
2009-01-15 02:49 <X0d_of_N0d> lemme verify that though
2009-01-15 02:50 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah, looks like there isn't really any pricelist as far as I can see
2009-01-15 02:51 <vengfulsquirrel> Hmm yeah there are a lot of ways to cut that too.
2009-01-15 02:52 <vengfulsquirrel> If people need to split between purchase and production that's a whole-nother ball of wax too.
2009-01-15 02:52 <X0d_of_N0d> ?
2009-01-15 02:54 <X0d_of_N0d> well... for right now we could just store lead times in products next to price
2009-01-15 02:54 <X0d_of_N0d> well... we should actually just ask cedk to add it or something
2009-01-15 02:55 <X0d_of_N0d> hum... no it should go in products but it only needs to be added for mrp calculations
2009-01-15 02:56 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah okay well I was going to try and send some proposal on the mailing list to get more feedback from everyone I haven't finished the proposal yet.
2009-01-15 02:56 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah okay well does the system just assume purchase if there is no BOM then /
2009-01-15 02:56 <vengfulsquirrel> *?
2009-01-15 02:56 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah
2009-01-15 02:56 <X0d_of_N0d> I don't see why not
2009-01-15 02:56 <X0d_of_N0d> if you produce it then you need a bom
2009-01-15 02:57 <X0d_of_N0d> when you check produce it should then have you create a bom for it
2009-01-15 02:57 <X0d_of_N0d> perhaps??
2009-01-15 02:57 <vengfulsquirrel> Well if they want to split between production and purchase due to capacity of production and cost of purchase... that seems like a super edge case though.
2009-01-15 02:58 <vengfulsquirrel> So initially I'll buy that logic, no bom==purchase.
2009-01-15 02:58 <X0d_of_N0d> ok
2009-01-15 02:59 <vengfulsquirrel> Okay so for configurable boms I was thinking these are more for defining what needs to be produced in a work-to-order fulfillment process. Is that correct?
2009-01-15 02:59 <vengfulsquirrel> *versus a work-to-stock
2009-01-15 03:00 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah, generally
2009-01-15 03:01 <vengfulsquirrel> Does your company do that?
2009-01-15 03:01 <X0d_of_N0d> well... we do that, but there are cases where that might not be the case
2009-01-15 03:03 <X0d_of_N0d> configurable boms really allow you to merge multiple boms that are similar except for some set of configurable parts
2009-01-15 03:03 <vengfulsquirrel> Well it seems like they would only be used when specifying a production run to fulfull a production request.
2009-01-15 03:03 <vengfulsquirrel> I was thinking configurable boms could have an additional field on each line called slot number that would just defined the products that could fulfull that slot, ie. substitutes.
2009-01-15 03:03 <X0d_of_N0d> for most people's uses they're for configuration during ordering...
2009-01-15 03:04 <X0d_of_N0d> Configurable boms could also be for quantity...
2009-01-15 03:04 <X0d_of_N0d> a configurable bom on a computer could have the choice of one stick of ram or two
2009-01-15 03:04 <vengfulsquirrel> Right so you'd say Chair: 4 Legs, 1 Seat, Slot3:(1 ABC Back, 2 ABC Backs, ACME Back)
2009-01-15 03:05 <X0d_of_N0d> one way I've seen configurable boms structured is just the same as a normal bom but instead of the list of items being the items used, only one gets used
2009-01-15 03:06 <X0d_of_N0d> and the bom type is set to configurable
2009-01-15 03:07 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah that kind of conflicts with making boms be lists of products becaues then we'd need to create virtual products... that had configurable boms.
2009-01-15 03:07 <X0d_of_N0d> exactly
2009-01-15 03:08 <X0d_of_N0d> which is actually pretty common
2009-01-15 03:08 <X0d_of_N0d> a subassembly shared between two products would be a phantom bom, that is, it's not really a product that can be sold or stocked but it's used in both so it becomes a psudo item
2009-01-15 03:08 <X0d_of_N0d> it gets a part number
2009-01-15 03:08 <X0d_of_N0d> just so it can be put on multiple boms
2009-01-15 03:09 <X0d_of_N0d> a bom would then be a list of products including pseudo products that are used to hold configurable boms
2009-01-15 03:09 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah okay hmm, that might kind of pollute the product system though.
2009-01-15 03:10 <X0d_of_N0d> hum
2009-01-15 03:10 <X0d_of_N0d> products should be anything with a part number, and boms should have a part number
2009-01-15 03:10 <X0d_of_N0d> so.... they should kind of be there anyway
2009-01-15 03:11 <X0d_of_N0d> we might be able to filter them out though
2009-01-15 03:11 <X0d_of_N0d> or something.....
2009-01-15 03:11 <X0d_of_N0d> but then again, I don't know that it matters really.....
2009-01-15 03:12 <X0d_of_N0d> having extra items in products..well... so what?
2009-01-15 03:13 <vengfulsquirrel> Well I'm not sure of the repercussions I'd have to look into it.
2009-01-15 03:13 <X0d_of_N0d> ACTION thinks about it
2009-01-15 03:13 <X0d_of_N0d> honestly neither am I
2009-01-15 03:13 <X0d_of_N0d> it's something to think about
2009-01-15 03:14 <X0d_of_N0d> The only thing I can think about is that it increases the number of things in the database, but that doesn't really seem like that big of a deal
2009-01-15 03:14 <vengfulsquirrel> I didn't think that phantom bom stuff got used that much, it makes everything so much more complicated.
2009-01-15 03:15 <X0d_of_N0d> phantom boms are hugely important in manufacturing and are in any worth-while mrp package
2009-01-15 03:15 <X0d_of_N0d> without them it would be impossible to manage a large number of configurable products
2009-01-15 03:16 <X0d_of_N0d> But I don't know that it makes things that much more complicated
2009-01-15 03:16 <X0d_of_N0d> Well I've got to go, but we need to keep thinking about this
2009-01-15 03:17 <vengfulsquirrel> The planning, you'd have to put the estimating percentages on each product in the phantom bom.
2009-01-15 03:17 <vengfulsquirrel> So then you could get your resources setup to manufacture the product at the top of the exploded bom tree that includes the phantom bom.
2009-01-15 03:18 <vengfulsquirrel> But anyways yeah I need to ask you more questions so maybe if you are on tomorrow we can talk about some other stuff.
2009-01-15 03:18 <X0d_of_N0d> I'll be in earlier than I was today
2009-01-15 03:18 <X0d_of_N0d> I'll talk to you then...
2009-01-15 03:18 <X0d_of_N0d> later man
2009-01-15 03:18 <vengfulsquirrel> sounds good, ttyl

2009-01-15 09:55 <cristi_an> ids in the docs are describe as a list of integers
2009-01-15 09:55 <carlos> the python code or the logic behind that code in Tryton?
2009-01-15 09:55 <cristi_an> [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
2009-01-15 09:56 <cristi_an> this is what ids may be right ?
2009-01-15 09:56 <carlos> right
2009-01-15 09:56 <carlos> in that code, you get ids == 1
2009-01-15 09:56 <carlos> so it converts it to ids == [1]
2009-01-15 09:56 <cristi_an> 1?
2009-01-15 09:56 <cristi_an> why ?
2009-01-15 09:56 <carlos> just an example
2009-01-15 09:56 <carlos> any number
2009-01-15 09:56 <cristi_an> but why i do not get a list ?
2009-01-15 09:57 <carlos> could you show me where ids is set the first time?
2009-01-15 09:57 <cristi_an> just a sec
2009-01-15 09:57 <carlos> sure
2009-01-15 09:57 <cristi_an> i have to restart in linux
2009-01-15 09:57 <cristi_an> brb thx
2009-01-15 09:58 <carlos> ok

2009-01-15 10:07 <carlos> cristi_an: without looking too deep, from there, I see that the write method allows you to give either a list of ids
2009-01-15 10:07 <carlos> or a single integer
2009-01-15 10:08 <carlos> and it will 'fix' its type to the internal requirement
2009-01-15 10:08 <cristi_an> right since this si python
2009-01-15 10:08 <carlos> so you don't need to do things like [2] or [1]
2009-01-15 10:08 <cristi_an> so you can pass anything to ids
2009-01-15 10:08 <carlos> right
2009-01-15 10:08 <cristi_an> but why is that done like this
2009-01-15 10:09 <cristi_an> why thoe code do not convert this int to [int] before do the call
2009-01-15 10:09 <cristi_an> it would not been more clean
2009-01-15 10:09 <carlos> well, that's a design decision that I cannot answer, given that I didn't design it
2009-01-15 10:10 <carlos> you will need to wait for cedk and others to answer that
2009-01-15 10:10 <cristi_an> just asking since i am almost 0 in python but from programming point of view this is custom to python ?
2009-01-15 10:11 <cristi_an> carlos: http://groups.google.com/group/tryton/browse_thread/thread/baa8a979f3c38a1d
2009-01-15 10:11 <cristi_an> on 1 or 2 do you have any response for me:)
2009-01-15 10:11 <cristi_an> ?
2009-01-15 10:14 <carlos> cristi_an: well, given that python gives you such flexibility in type checking, that's something that may be useful in some situations, yes
2009-01-15 10:14 <carlos> about 1. It depends on the editor you use
2009-01-15 10:15 <carlos> I know vim has a 'ctags' module can may help you to do such lookups. Emacs has something similar, but I don't know it's name and I guess eclipse may have something similar too
2009-01-15 10:15 <carlos> you also have the grep command line tool ;-)
2009-01-15 10:16 <cristi_an> ellipse rules in java
2009-01-15 10:16 <cristi_an> eclipse

2009-01-15 10:17 <carlos> about 2. the printing is done with buffers, so it's not a good way of doing debug tasks because it's not printed in sync with the code being executed
2009-01-15 10:17 <carlos> cristi_an: do you know the python debugger?
2009-01-15 10:17 <cristi_an> no :(
2009-01-15 10:17 <carlos> substitute your print with this line:
2009-01-15 10:17 <carlos> import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
2009-01-15 10:17 <carlos> that will give you a python shell in the point where you want to check something
2009-01-15 10:17 <carlos> so you will be able to check the internal status of the variables at that point
2009-01-15 10:17 <cristi_an> and i can just add
2009-01-15 10:18 <cristi_an> print xxx
2009-01-15 10:18 <cristi_an> ?
2009-01-15 10:18 <cristi_an> this is like a bbreakpoint
2009-01-15 10:18 <carlos> when you are done, just execute 'c' and the program will continue
2009-01-15 10:18 <carlos> right, is a kind of breakpoint, but fixed in the source code
2009-01-15 10:18 <cristi_an> nice
2009-01-15 10:18 <cristi_an> thx a lot
2009-01-15 10:19 <carlos> as I said, the print xxx is not a sync command so it's going to be difficult to use it without adding some extra code to flush the output buffer
2009-01-15 10:19 <carlos> the python debugger is quite simple to use
2009-01-15 10:19 <carlos> so is better if you get used to that instead of prints ;-)
2009-01-15 10:20 <cristi_an> oki but when the shell is avalable when the that poin is reached
2009-01-15 10:20 <cristi_an> then how can i see the values for vartaibles i am interested in ?
2009-01-15 10:20 <cristi_an> not with print in shell ?
2009-01-15 10:25 <carlos> you don't really need to do a print, however, it will work, yes
2009-01-15 10:25 <carlos> I didn't understand you :-P
2009-01-15 10:25 <carlos> you could just do:
2009-01-15 10:26 <carlos> >>> variable
2009-01-15 10:26 <carlos> and you will get the value
2009-01-15 10:28 <cristi_an> :) gr8
2009-01-15 10:51 <cristi_an> carlos: one more thing
2009-01-15 10:51 <cristi_an> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/99753/
2009-01-15 10:51 <cristi_an> i added this
2009-01-15 10:51 <cristi_an> i start server ,start client,reinstall party
2009-01-15 10:51 <cristi_an> but when i save address i expect write to be called and to get that shell
2009-01-15 10:51 <cristi_an> but no :(
2009-01-15 10:53 <carlos> cristi_an: you forgot the 'import pdb'
2009-01-15 10:53 <carlos> import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
2009-01-15 10:54 <cristi_an> import is up
2009-01-15 10:54 <cristi_an> in the file
2009-01-15 10:54 <carlos> ok
2009-01-15 10:54 <carlos> then, that code is not being executed
2009-01-15 10:54 <cristi_an> otherwise the server had not started
2009-01-15 10:54 <cristi_an> hmmm
2009-01-15 10:54 <carlos> cristi_an: it would start
2009-01-15 10:54 <carlos> if the code is not executed on start up
2009-01-15 10:54 <cristi_an> i have to w8 cedk
2009-01-15 10:54 <cristi_an> since write is callewd on save
2009-01-15 10:55 <cristi_an> ????
2009-01-15 10:55 <carlos> python is dynamic, so it may have bugs like missing imports and you will not notice it until the code path is executed
2009-01-15 10:56 <cristi_an> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/99755/
2009-01-15 10:57 <cristi_an> cedk and bechamel had a party tonight after radio since they are still sleeping :)
2009-01-15 10:58 <carlos> cristi_an: the code is ok, but as I said, if you don't get a python 'shell', it's because the write method is not being called
2009-01-15 10:58 <carlos> cristi_an: btw, you must execute the server from the console directly so the standard output and input are attached to that terminal
2009-01-15 10:59 <cristi_an> strange sine it has to be called...that is save
2009-01-15 10:59 <cristi_an> console
2009-01-15 10:59 <cristi_an> so no doulbe click ?
2009-01-15 10:59 <cristi_an> ./trytond.py
2009-01-15 10:59 <cristi_an> is better ?
2009-01-15 11:01 <carlos> right, that one
2009-01-15 11:01 <carlos> if you do double click, you don't have a way to get the shell
2009-01-15 11:03 <cristi_an> i did not know that
2009-01-15 11:03 <cristi_an> :)
2009-01-15 11:04 <carlos> ;-)
2009-01-15 11:04 <carlos> do you get it now?
2009-01-15 11:06 <cristi_an> no :((
2009-01-15 11:07 <cristi_an> maybe is not called
2009-01-15 11:07 <cristi_an> that method
2009-01-15 11:07 <cristi_an> i have to w8 cedk

2009-01-15 11:54 <udono> hi all
2009-01-15 11:55 <udono> cedk: did I need openoffice.interact in any case for printing pdf documents?
2009-01-15 11:55 <udono> cedk: and is a openoffice headless server needed serversite?
2009-01-15 11:55 <cedk> udono: if you want that the server generate the pdf
2009-01-15 11:56 <udono> cedk: If I like the client to generate the pdf automatically, is this possible?
2009-01-15 11:56 <udono> cedk: via the way trytond - tryton - openoffice - export (automatically) PDF
2009-01-15 11:57 <cedk> udono: I think you can run openoffice in command line to do that, but not sure
2009-01-15 11:57 <udono> cedk: ok, thanks, was just irritated
2009-01-15 11:57 <cedk> udono: or you can send it directly to the printer
2009-01-15 11:58 <udono> ok, pdf printer is a way
2009-01-15 11:58 <Timitos> cedk: to make the question of udono more clear. is tryton able to create PDF by default?
2009-01-15 11:58 <cedk> Timitos: no
2009-01-15 11:58 <Timitos> cedk: ok. thx

2009-01-15 14:37 <cristi_an> is necesarry to do the if isinstance(ids, (int, long)):
2009-01-15 14:38 <cristi_an> since when you update an address
2009-01-15 14:38 <cristi_an> you may set obly on party to it
2009-01-15 14:38 <cristi_an> and you may save that only one address
2009-01-15 14:40 <cristi_an> so if party is present in vals is clear you;ll have one id

2009-01-15 16:55 <carlos> ikks: Hi
2009-01-15 16:59 <ikks> HI Carlos, I haven't been able to apply the fixes you commented :(
2009-01-15 16:59 <carlos> ikks: don't worry, I'm not in a hurry
2009-01-15 17:00 <carlos> and when I have time to do a longer review, I will provide with a branch with all the comments
2009-01-15 17:01 <carlos> ikks: I would like with you about terminology. I wonder whether you translated 'Income statement' as 'Cuenta de ingresos' because that's how it's named in your country or you just did a direct translation
2009-01-15 17:01 <carlos> In Spain, it should be named: "Cuenta de Pérdidas y Ganancias"
2009-01-15 17:02 <ikks> mhh, aquí tenemos dos cuentas distintas enumeradas
2009-01-15 17:02 <carlos> so I'm just trying to detect whether that's a case when it's differently translated in different Spanish countries
2009-01-15 17:02 <carlos> or not
2009-01-15 17:02 <ikks> sorry, i saw spanish
2009-01-15 17:02 <carlos> ikks: :-P
2009-01-15 17:02 <ikks> we have to main accounts
2009-01-15 17:02 <ikks> Ingresos and Egresos
2009-01-15 17:02 <ikks> labeled 4 and 5
2009-01-15 17:02 <ikks> And we have an inform
2009-01-15 17:02 <carlos> Egresos?
2009-01-15 17:03 <ikks> called pérdidas y ganancias
2009-01-15 17:03 <carlos> so it's the same as in Spain
2009-01-15 17:03 <ikks> egresos means all that takes money out from the company
2009-01-15 17:03 <ikks> maybe I haven't understand properly the word "statement"
2009-01-15 17:03 <carlos> as far as I know, Income statement should be translated then as 'Perdidas y ganancias'
2009-01-15 17:04 <carlos> ikks: well, I detected that mapping from an accounting glossary
2009-01-15 17:04 <ikks> In spanish this portion: Es más bien como un informe?
2009-01-15 17:04 <carlos> ikks: yeah
2009-01-15 17:04 <ikks> PyG?
2009-01-15 17:04 <carlos> ikks: I think so, yes
2009-01-15 17:04 <carlos> ikks: http://www.economicas-online.com/glosarios/ingles.htm#I
2009-01-15 17:04 <ikks> ok, I see this is an error on the whole translation then...
2009-01-15 17:05 <carlos> ikks: that's a glossary that helps me a bit to map from the English terminology to the Spanish one
2009-01-15 17:05 <ikks> Maybe we have to add on the doc references on the translation decision strings
2009-01-15 17:06 <carlos> Yeah, a Tryton glossary/terminology would be a good idea
2009-01-15 17:06 <ikks> Really nice, I guess that the reference of the translation on a wiki page would help us sync
2009-01-15 17:06 <ikks> Do you have write access on the googlegroup wiki?
2009-01-15 17:06 <carlos> if we use translations that differ from the 'official' terminology in each country is going to be difficult to use Tryton
2009-01-15 17:06 <carlos> ikks: yes
2009-01-15 17:07 <ikks> Can you help me with this? at the moment I'm focused on something else :(
2009-01-15 17:07 <carlos> sure
2009-01-15 17:08 <carlos> I will start with the terms I think we should change as I continue with my chart of accounts creation
2009-01-15 17:08 <carlos> well, and also the ones I see as valid ;-)
2009-01-15 17:10 <carlos> ikks: btw, I got my company added to the tryton's services page. Could you update the Spanish translation? (I will send you the translation so you only need to approve / commit it)
2009-01-15 17:15 <ikks> cool

2009-01-15 19:43 <cristi_an> cedk: i created a party added to that some addresses saved.then i open the party again and updated the addresses by changing some attributes in them
2009-01-15 19:43 <cristi_an> in log i noticed the that each address was saved (updated) separatelly by clling write on each
2009-01-15 19:43 <cristi_an> since there is ids as list why it was not possible to do this in one call ?
2009-01-15 19:44 <cristi_an> a single write with ids[]
2009-01-15 19:45 <cedk> cristi_an: because the values to write are different for each id
2009-01-15 19:45 <cristi_an> so ids as a list in write method is just ...like this....it would have been ok to have there ids and int parameter then
2009-01-15 19:46 <cedk> cristi_an: no because sometimes when you are programming, you need to write the same value on many ids, so here you can
2009-01-15 19:47 <cristi_an> cedk: can you give me a use case when this is done ?
2009-01-15 19:48 <cedk> cristi_an: in trytond/modules/account/period.py line 234
2009-01-15 19:48 <cristi_an> thx

2009-01-15 20:15 <cristi_an> what is the purpose of sequence = fields.Integer("Sequence")
2009-01-15 20:15 <cristi_an> i saw this in many places ?
2009-01-15 20:18 <bechamel> it's useful when you want to let the customer to order records
2009-01-15 20:18 <bechamel> the field will contain the intergers for custom order
2009-01-15 20:19 <vengfulsquirrel> X0d_of_N0d: Hey hey
2009-01-15 20:21 <cristi_an> bechamel: and how can i let the customer order records ?
2009-01-15 20:22 <bechamel> cristi_an: the gtk client handle it for you
2009-01-15 20:22 <bechamel> cristi_an: if you do drag and drops between invoice lines the value of sequence will be updated accordingly
2009-01-15 20:23 <bechamel> cristi_an: but if the field is available in the form view the user can change it by hand
2009-01-15 20:24 <bechamel> afk
2009-01-15 20:25 <cristi_an> bechamel: but on address
2009-01-15 20:25 <cristi_an> i do not see this sequence files so i can cahnge it by habd
2009-01-15 20:25 <cristi_an> files = field
2009-01-15 20:27 <cristi_an> i saw this
2009-01-15 20:27 <cristi_an> in party
2009-01-15 20:27 <cristi_an> when i arange by hand addressed
2009-01-15 20:28 <cristi_an> /addressed/addresses
2009-01-15 20:28 <cristi_an> the order on the seq is changes in the db
2009-01-15 20:28 <cristi_an> but why not on the main address form ?
2009-01-15 20:28 <cristi_an> there is not the same form used ?
2009-01-15 20:29 <cristi_an> that is not a sortable table from party (the addres table widget)
2009-01-15 20:30 <cristi_an> the main form of addresses instead hold a sortable table
2009-01-15 20:33 <cristi_an> thx...
2009-01-15 20:57 <cristi_an> bechamel: i asked this before but i forgot
2009-01-15 20:57 <cristi_an> how can i do override and update
2009-01-15 20:57 <cristi_an> with hg ?
2009-01-15 21:09 <bechamel> cristi_an: hg rollabck maybe
2009-01-15 21:10 <bechamel> for the sequence on adress it's not on the form because it's easier to use drag and drop

2009-01-15 21:14 <cristi_an> but is this specified somewhere that is not on the form and is used for drag and drop ?
2009-01-15 21:15 <cristi_an> in the xml ?

2009-01-15 21:53 <bechamel> cristi_an: yes this is python specific
2009-01-15 21:54 <cristi_an> i read

2009-01-15 21:55 <cristi_an> thx i found docs
2009-01-15 21:55 <cristi_an> setup.py is needed ?
2009-01-15 21:56 <bechamel> cristi_an: it's only for packaging
2009-01-15 21:57 <cristi_an> which is used for ?

2009-01-15 21:57 <cristi_an> debian etc ?

2009-01-15 22:02 <cristi_an> good night thx....
2009-01-15 22:02 <bechamel> yes this allow to build and install as any python module, and because modules are availabe on http://pypi.python.org/pypi, you can also do "easy_install tryton_party" ( and this will fetch all other needed packages/modules)
2009-01-15 22:02 <bechamel> damn

2009-01-15 22:42 <cristi_an> just some simple fields to see how db is created how the client handels this
2009-01-15 22:43 <cristi_an> depends of ir and res

2009-01-15 22:44 <cristi_an> yes
2009-01-15 22:45 <bechamel> cristi_an: so if everything is ok just restart the server and your module will appear in the module list
2009-01-15 22:45 <bechamel> cristi_an: or with the command line: "trytond.py -d my_db -i my_module"

2009-01-15 23:15 <vengfulsquirrel> X0d_of_N0d: yeah that's fine I haven't started my second pot of coffee yet
2009-01-15 23:16 <vengfulsquirrel> So I have a lot of questions because the books I have and the Internet haven't been great resources for all the BOM types.
2009-01-15 23:17 <X0d_of_N0d> vengfulsquirrel: ok, cool
2009-01-15 23:17 <vengfulsquirrel> So if you have time now or later to go over it that would be great.
2009-01-15 23:17 <X0d_of_N0d> vengfulsquirrel: yeah
2009-01-15 23:18 <X0d_of_N0d> vengfulsquirrel: I've got some time
2009-01-15 23:18 <vengfulsquirrel> Great, so I think I've finally come to terms with Phantom boms although they still seem a little awkward.
2009-01-15 23:18 <X0d_of_N0d> ok
2009-01-15 23:20 <vengfulsquirrel> So I thought modular boms were just multi-level boms but I guess they are more than that but I can't find any definitive definition for them.
2009-01-15 23:21 <X0d_of_N0d> I think that's more or less accurate except that, as far as I understand, "modular" means that subassemblies can be shared between boms
2009-01-15 23:21 <X0d_of_N0d> and can be changed and what-not
2009-01-15 23:22 <vengfulsquirrel> Can you explain subassembly because you don't mean "Product" right ?
2009-01-15 23:22 <X0d_of_N0d> right
2009-01-15 23:22 <X0d_of_N0d> lets say you're building a bike
2009-01-15 23:22 <X0d_of_N0d> the bike is the product/assembly
2009-01-15 23:23 <X0d_of_N0d> but you also build the wheels, then attach them to the bike
2009-01-15 23:23 <X0d_of_N0d> the wheels would be a subassembly
2009-01-15 23:23 <X0d_of_N0d> a subassembly is just something that's built to be a part for something else
2009-01-15 23:24 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah how is that different from a product? You could sell the wheels too right?
2009-01-15 23:24 <X0d_of_N0d> right, but there are subassemblies you can't sell....
2009-01-15 23:25 <X0d_of_N0d> if you build hard drives your platters would be a subassembly, but you could never sell those
2009-01-15 23:25 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah that's fine, would they be stocked though or for just communication between workcenters?
2009-01-15 23:26 <X0d_of_N0d> but subassemblies usually get part numbers, so for our purposes there really isn't much of a difference between a product and an assembly
2009-01-15 23:27 <X0d_of_N0d> if a subassembly is immediately used and not typically stocked then it would be a phantom bom and it would more be used just in case something happened and it needed to be stocked
2009-01-15 23:27 <vengfulsquirrel> hmm
2009-01-15 23:27 <X0d_of_N0d> but generally, yeah, a phantom bom shouldn't generate a work order of any type
2009-01-15 23:27 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah I figured I would assume a phantom bom would _never_ be stocked.
2009-01-15 23:28 <vengfulsquirrel> I made a diagram
2009-01-15 23:28 <X0d_of_N0d> some phantom boms aren't ever stocked because they aren't actual assemblies
2009-01-15 23:28 <vengfulsquirrel> hold on
2009-01-15 23:28 <X0d_of_N0d> ok
2009-01-15 23:29 <vengfulsquirrel> http://www.laspilitas.com/s/images/bom-christmas-tree.png
2009-01-15 23:30 <vengfulsquirrel> X0d_of_N0d: I should have sent that first.
2009-01-15 23:31 <X0d_of_N0d> ACTION looks at it
2009-01-15 23:32 <vengfulsquirrel> Hmm I guess I don't actually have a sub-assembly on there, but I think if its stocked we can just use the current product model for it.
2009-01-15 23:32 <X0d_of_N0d> right, a bom should just be recursive
2009-01-15 23:34 <X0d_of_N0d> why is there a difference between phantom assembly and product kit?
2009-01-15 23:34 <X0d_of_N0d> a phantom could be a kit
2009-01-15 23:34 <vengfulsquirrel> A product kit is used for planning purposes
2009-01-15 23:35 <vengfulsquirrel> A phantom is ignored during planning
2009-01-15 23:35 <vengfulsquirrel> *product demand planning
2009-01-15 23:35 <vengfulsquirrel> I think a product kit is also just for convenience and bom maintanence.
2009-01-15 23:35 <X0d_of_N0d> well...hum
2009-01-15 23:36 <vengfulsquirrel> Like its not actually assembled, like a Bag of Parts.
2009-01-15 23:36 <X0d_of_N0d> right, but you still need that bag of parts
2009-01-15 23:37 <vengfulsquirrel> I didn't make it up and I'd love to axe it and just make people make a real sub assembly out of it.
2009-01-15 23:37 <X0d_of_N0d> a phantom shouldn't generate a work order
2009-01-15 23:38 <X0d_of_N0d> hum...
2009-01-15 23:39 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah that's a little grey for me, a phantom assembly is created on the line on the way to creating the final product.
2009-01-15 23:39 <X0d_of_N0d> usually... it's also used in some other places...
2009-01-15 23:39 <vengfulsquirrel> What other places?
2009-01-15 23:40 <X0d_of_N0d> we have a shipping phantom bom that includes all the materials needed to pack and ship our machiens
2009-01-15 23:40 <X0d_of_N0d> the finished product could never be stocked because it's a box built around the machine
2009-01-15 23:40 <vengfulsquirrel> So what is stocked?
2009-01-15 23:40 <X0d_of_N0d> and it doesn't need a work order because the shipping order takes care of that
2009-01-15 23:41 <X0d_of_N0d> wood, nails, etc
2009-01-15 23:41 <X0d_of_N0d> parts to build it
2009-01-15 23:41 <vengfulsquirrel> So the shipping order is an order to do the final assembly of the machine and the shipping materials?
2009-01-15 23:42 <X0d_of_N0d> no, to assemble the shiping materials around the finished machine
2009-01-15 23:43 <X0d_of_N0d> but we do need to make sure more wood and nails are ordered if we are running low
2009-01-15 23:43 <X0d_of_N0d> so it does need to be taken into account when planning purchase orders
2009-01-15 23:45 <X0d_of_N0d> and there is also, of course, the "bag of parts" thing
2009-01-15 23:46 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah you could just do a demand estimate for the shipping materials as a final product and just ignore the packing process. Are you saying you'd want your machine demand estimates to trigger shipping material demand estimates?
2009-01-15 23:47 <X0d_of_N0d> shipping materials would be a phantom bom inside the assembly, so any demand estimate for the assembly would automatically generate demand for the shipping materials
2009-01-15 23:52 <vengfulsquirrel> Yeah I'll have to think about that, well, noted.
2009-01-15 23:52 <X0d_of_N0d> ok
2009-01-15 23:52 <vengfulsquirrel> That's like a reverse phantom bom.
2009-01-15 23:52 <vengfulsquirrel> Its in the bom but its not used in production at all BUT it needs to be planned for.
2009-01-15 23:53 <vengfulsquirrel> Whereas a phantom bom is only used during production and doesn't need to be purchased/planned for.
2009-01-15 23:53 <vengfulsquirrel> Anyways so onto configurable boms.
2009-01-15 23:54 <X0d_of_N0d> yeah
2009-01-15 23:54 <X0d_of_N0d> the terminology in erp really sucks
2009-01-15 23:54 <X0d_of_N0d> imho
2009-01-15 23:54 <X0d_of_N0d> it's not clearly defined and it's pretty confusing
2009-01-15 23:54 <X0d_of_N0d> so yeah, on to configurable boms
2009-01-15 23:55 <vengfulsquirrel> So some people talk about configurable boms like choosing red and blue whereas other people talk about choosing a 80MB hard drive versus a 60MB hard drive(my book is that old!).
2009-01-15 23:55 <X0d_of_N0d> lol, yeah I've got a book like that
2009-01-15 23:56 <X0d_of_N0d> it could also be choosing 50ft of cable vs 60ft
2009-01-15 23:56 <X0d_of_N0d> any time you have a choice it's configurable
2009-01-15 23:56 <vengfulsquirrel> yeah but the physical configuration makes sense to me and is in that bom i sent you under substitutues
2009-01-15 23:58 <vengfulsquirrel> *substitutes, although there needs to be a choose code or something like.. can sub m to n, can sub exactly m
2009-01-15 23:59 <X0d_of_N0d> this is where I was saying it should just be a normal bom but instead of being a list of things you will put in it's a list of things you could put in
2009-01-15 23:59 <vengfulsquirrel> yeah okay that makes sense to me, is there any more complexity to that?
