    1. Replace PL/SQL with Java or declarative business logic

      All legacy PL/SQL code in Openbravo should be converted to either middle tier Java that interacts with the database through DAL or to meta data rules. See also https://issues.openbravo.com/view.php?id=803

        • 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

                • 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.

                      • 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..

                              • Add support for early payment or cash discounts

                                "One study found that if the credit term is net 30 days, the money, on average, arrived 45 days after the invoice date. In order to speed up these payments, some companies give credit terms that offer a discount to those customers who pay within a shorter period of time. The discount is referred to as a sales discount or cash discount, and the shorter period of time is known as the discount period. For example, the term 2/10, net 30 allows a customer to deduct 2% of the net amount owed if the customer pays within 10 days of… more

                                  • Be able to filter by BP defined as Summary Level

                                    Actually Summary Level definition is just an informative definition. But it would very useful to be able to filter by BP defined as Summary Level when running reports

                                      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.

                                          • Recurring invoices

                                            It should be possible that Openbravo generates invoices automatically for specific services (for example, renting services). The same invoice should be generated every month.. See also https://issues.openbravo.com/view.php?id=3320
