2010-02-16 21:10 <ZeroForce> Hey all - so I'm new to the whole ERP thing and after reviewing a bunch of websites and reviews have decided to try tryton to cut my teeth
2010-02-16 21:10 <ZeroForce> Any recommendations for how to get started?
2010-02-16 21:10 <ZeroForce> I thought a good start would be stock room management and seeing if I could set something up that allowed me to "build" and "unbuild" products
2010-02-16 21:15 <ZeroForce> I've currently got NESO installed and am starting with that
2010-02-16 21:15 <yangoon> ZeroForce: hi
2010-02-16 21:16 <yangoon> ZeroForce: good choice for the beginning
2010-02-16 21:19 <ZeroForce> yangoon: hi, Thanks
2010-02-16 21:20 <ZeroForce> I don't suppose there are any downloadable "Sample Simple Company" databases
2010-02-16 21:21 <yangoon> you can download the demo database
2010-02-16 21:21 <ZeroForce> Something that might represent some typical company business models
2010-02-16 21:21 <ZeroForce> Is the demo database big?
2010-02-16 21:22 <ZeroForce> I'm trying not start somewhat clean, but starting from nothing is kind of painful....
2010-02-16 21:22 <ZeroForce> Hmm, can I upload contacts from say Outlook or Google Contacts to seed my Parties?
2010-02-16 21:23 <yangoon> ZeroForce: http://demo.tryton.org/~demo1_4/ http://demo.tryton.org/~demo1_2/ http://demo.tryton.org/~demo1_0/
2010-02-16 21:23 <ZeroForce> 5MB sounds about right
2010-02-16 21:24 <ZeroForce> Can Neso open that?
2010-02-16 21:24 -!- tekknokrat(~gthielebe@dslb-188-103-022-099.pools.arcor-ip.net) has joined #tryton
2010-02-16 21:24 <yangoon> ZeroForce: but those are postgresql dumps, won't work with neso
2010-02-16 21:25 <ZeroForce> Ahh
2010-02-16 21:25 <yangoon> ZeroForce: if you take a look at the demo, you will have setup a testing environment quite quick
2010-02-16 21:25 <ZeroForce> Neso is SQLite I assume
2010-02-16 21:25 <yangoon> ZeroForce: or just play on the demo
2010-02-16 21:25 <yangoon> ZeroForce: right
2010-02-16 21:26 <ZeroForce> Well I'm hoping to build a proof of concept for a customer
2010-02-16 21:26 <ZeroForce> They are currently on PeachTree
2010-02-16 21:26 <ZeroForce> (I'm in the US)
2010-02-16 21:27 <ZeroForce> They are a small firm (under 10 employees), But there are several problems they are facing that it seems like an ERP like Tryton would be well suited to solve (mostly related to stock and inventory management)
2010-02-16 21:28 <ZeroForce> One of the main problems is they have long lead times on some of their parts and their current inventory process isn't working to keep their systems up to date
2010-02-16 21:30 <ZeroForce> Anyway - I've not used an ERP before, but as I was listening to their description of what they'd like to see work better - what I've heard about ERP systems just seemed to scream to be the answer :)
2010-02-16 21:35 <ZeroForce> How would you recommend entering in something like "metal washers"?
2010-02-16 21:36 <ZeroForce> It's a consumable, does it go into Products?
2010-02-16 21:36 <ZeroForce> Or is there a different Object type for "Parts"
2010-02-16 21:37 <yangoon> ZeroForce: if you sell it and want to have stock management it is a product
2010-02-16 21:39 <ZeroForce> We don't sell it, but we use it in the construction of a product
2010-02-16 21:40 <ZeroForce> We need to know when we're low so we can order more
2010-02-16 21:41 <yangoon> ZeroForce: what you need is probably MRP
2010-02-16 21:41 <ZeroForce> ?
2010-02-16 21:42 <yangoon> there is currrently not yet a module for it
2010-02-16 21:42 <ZeroForce> ooooohhhhh
2010-02-16 21:43 <ZeroForce> Manufacturing Resource Planning?
2010-02-16 21:43 <yangoon> yes
2010-02-16 21:44 <ZeroForce> I hate to ask, but any suggestions?
2010-02-16 21:44 <ZeroForce> As I mentioned, it's a small firm
2010-02-16 21:45 <ZeroForce> They essentially take a bunch of parts and build three main products
2010-02-16 21:45 <ZeroForce> Those three products can be sold individually or combined into different products
2010-02-16 21:45 <ZeroForce> s/into/to make/
2010-02-16 21:46 <ZeroForce> They primarily have a stockroom, a design lab, and a production build area
2010-02-16 21:51 <vengfulsquirrel> There is functionality to automatically create purchase orders when stock numbers drop below a certain level.
2010-02-16 21:52 <ZeroForce> vengfulsquirrel: And that's on the products right
