Implement SAF-T export capabilities
SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax Purposes) is an file format to export accounting data from software. It is part of an OECD recommendation for business and accounting software (http://www.oecd.org/document/57/0,2340,en_2649_34897_34910329_1_1_1_1,00.html). In Portugal, since the start of 2008, the capability of exporting a SAF-T file is required from all accounting software. The specific file format for Portugal is SAFT-PT (http://www.assoft.pt/saft-pt/). It would be important to have this export capability in OpenBravo as it is likely that other European countries will adopt the SAF-T standard.. See also https://issues.openbravo.com/view.php?id=3453

State transitions for documents and buttons
Currently the document life cycles are not consistently managed in terms of metadata. From one side, a significant portion of the business logic is hard coded; from the other, it is not done consistently. For example: an invoice goes from Draft to Complete pressing the Complete button. But it goes from Not Posted to Posted pressing the Not Posted button..

Hierarchical product categories
Currently products belong to only one category and categories are not hierarchical. This entry requests: 1) Allow the creation of multiple product categorization schemes. Each scheme is used for a specific business purpose, for example the categorization that is used for demand planning is different from the categorization that is used for a sales catalog. 2) For each categorization scheme, allow a hierarchical definition of categories. For example: - Trucks - 18 wheelers - pick up tracks - Cars - SUV - Minivan - Sedan - Station wagon - ... 3) For each categorization scheme, specify whether a product can… more

Tax included price list
Several openbravo customers raised the requirement to "flag" a price list as tax included. In that scenario a price (let's say 20$) includes tax. In the invoice, tax and prices are recomputed, so that the total is quantity * price. Currently in ob, we need to recompute tax excluded prices with several decimals (up to 6 or 8) to avoid rounding issues.

Sorry but this idea is not clear to me. Can you please explain in more details?
Which reports are you referring to? What are you trying to achieve? -
User level locale
Currently the local is set for the system and all users have the same locale (numbering and date formats). For SaaS this is not a valid option.. See also https://issues.openbravo.com/view.php?id=3093

multiple copies of jasper reports
I configured the AR Invoice document type to have 3 copies through the menu: Financial Accounting -> Accounting -> Accounting Rules -> Document Types. However when i try to print invoices it only prints one copy. I was told that this feature might not be yet implemented for jasper reports. This would be extremely useful..

Very good idea! Than you.
I would like to generalize it to a “time dimension” that could be calendar month, calendar quarter, calendar year or accounting period, accounting year.
