Open Source ERP Guru

In our last posts, we have setup an initial Tenant in Compiere, followed by creating our first customer. This post will walk you through creating a product in Compiere. An overview of products in ERP systems can be found in the Openbravo product creation tutorial.

Please remember that for creating your first product, you can either use Compiere’s default user, GardenUser (part of Compiere’s default Client or Tenant, GardenWorld), or you can use the tenancy you created following the Compiere initial Tenant setup.

A recorded flash tutorial is attached to this post. The flash tutorial is also added to our newly released Flash Comparator, containing all flash tutorials which are part of tutorial posts, arranged side-by-side, allowing you to easily compare different open source ERP solutions. We currently have Compiere and Openbravo comparison. In a few days, Opentaps (the OFBiz based ERP solution) will be added to the Comparator.
