For example, from the accounting entry of an invoice you can see the accounting entry of the settlement and the accounting entry of the bank statement without going to the invoice.
  • Filter cancelled payments in General Ledger.An option has been included in the General Ledger report to filter the entries that the payment has been canceled with another entry. With this option it’s possible to show the pending amounts of an account (e.g. Business Partners, transitory accounts).
  • Accounting reports. The user can define accounting reports in hierarchical manner. The user selects the accounts he wants to report on and how to organize them. The accounting report is saved for later use.
  • General accounting reports. The general accounting report has been generalized to manage multiple nodes, so the user can define multiple views of the general accounting report.
  • Tax report. The user can define what tax rates must be shown in the report. The user defines how to organize the taxes in the report allowing to define a hierarchy with summary nodes. The tax reports are saved for later use. In this way, the user can define reports for VAT, withholding and others in use in their area.

• Single signon. Replaces the default authentication mechanism of Openbravo ERP by other mechanism in common with other web applications.

Platform, Usability & Quality

• Full redesign of application user interface, using Dojo as user interface library.

  • Fully featured AJAX data grid that dramatically improves performance by dynamically requesting for just data needed to be shown.
  • Fully customizable look and feel using CSS.
• New UI layout
  • Design and implementation of a new layout that improves usability. The new layout is based on the conclusions of a usability study done for Openbravo.
• Support for skins (themes)

New functionality

• Alarms defined by users (with e-mail notification). In Openbravo an alarm is a periodic check that is performed to verify certain conditions. If the result is not what is expected, a warning is delivered to the user. Examples of alarms are business partners without addresses, products with stock totals under predefined levels, customers that exceed their risk or any rule that the user defines.
  • Alarms are shown or sent to users or roles defined in the alarm management functionality.
  • Alarms are shown in the application windows, but are also shown proactively in the menu with a label that indicates the number of alarms that have not been managed.
• JasperSoft Report integration, allowing report registration in Openbravo and calling them. See our development manual for a full description of how to use it.
