Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) :- Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business process management software that allows an organization to use a system of integrated applications to manage the business and automate many back office functions related to technology, services and human resources. Figure:1 Introduction to ERP Evolution of ERP The term ERP was coined in 1990 by Gartner, but its roots date to the 1960s. Back then, the concept applied to inventory management and control in the manufacturing sector. Software engineers created programs to monitor inventory, reconcile balances, and report on status. By the 1970s, this had evolved into Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems for scheduling production processes. In the 1980s, MRP grew to encompass more manufacturing processes, prompting many to call it MRP-II or Manufacturing Resource Planning.

    Idempiere Fixed Asset User Manual

    iDempiere Fixed Asset User Manual Created By Edwin Ang Created On June 12, 2012 Version 0.1 Introduction The iDempiere Fixed Asset extension package is developed based on the work of these three remarkable men: 1. Robert Klein, who developed the first ever Fixed Assets extension for Compiere 2. Teo Sarca, who modernized Robert Klein's work to use Adempiere more modern document structure. His work was however not properly documented and was influenced with his country local requirement. 3. Redhuan D. Oon (Red1), who took the work published by Teo Sarca, created the migration scripts from the 2Pack, and done some stabilization work. However Red1 somehow mixed Klein's solution to Teo Sarca's which made the design somehow inconsistent. This work was started from where red1 left. I have spent considerable hours try to understand all those three men's design consideration. Somehow, I decided to recover to Teo Sarca's core design and done the work to (1) repair bad codes and AD Configuration, (2) remove – what I thought was – localization codes and AD Configuration, and (3) add missing code and AD Configuration. After many many test iterations and two installation observations, I am confident that I have achieved a certainly working package. Hence this is the FA version 1.0. What functionality that can be expected in this FA v1.0: 1. Asset Addition from Match Invoice 2. Asset Addition from Import Asset 3. Asset Addition from Manual 4. Asset Addition from Project 5. Asset Depreciation using Straight Line Depreciation Method 6. Asset Disposal 7.

    Sysml Distilled: a Brief Guide to the Systems Modeling Language

    ptg11539604 Praise for SysML Distilled “In keeping with the outstanding tradition of Addison-Wesley’s techni- cal publications, Lenny Delligatti’s SysML Distilled does not disappoint. Lenny has done a masterful job of capturing the spirit of OMG SysML as a practical, standards-based modeling language to help systems engi- neers address growing system complexity. This book is loaded with matter-of-fact insights, starting with basic MBSE concepts to distin- guishing the subtle differences between use cases and scenarios to illu- mination on namespaces and SysML packages, and even speaks to some of the more esoteric SysML semantics such as token flows.” — Jeff Estefan, Principal Engineer, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory “The power of a modeling language, such as SysML, is that it facilitates communication not only within systems engineering but across disci- plines and across the development life cycle. Many languages have the ptg11539604 potential to increase communication, but without an effective guide, they can fall short of that objective. In SysML Distilled, Lenny Delligatti combines just the right amount of technology with a common-sense approach to utilizing SysML toward achieving that communication. Having worked in systems and software engineering across many do- mains for the last 30 years, and having taught computer languages, UML, and SysML to many organizations and within the college setting, I find Lenny’s book an invaluable resource. He presents the concepts clearly and provides useful and pragmatic examples to get you off the ground quickly and enables you to be an effective modeler.” — Thomas W. Fargnoli, Lead Member of the Engineering Staff, Lockheed Martin “This book provides an excellent introduction to SysML.

    Idempiere About Idempiere Idempiere Is a Powerful, Open-Source ERP/CRM/SCM System Targeted to Medium and Big Companies and Supported by a Skilful Community

    iDempiere About iDempiere iDempiere is a powerful, open-source ERP/CRM/SCM system targeted to medium and big companies and supported by a skilful community. The project focuses on high-quality software, a philosophy of openness and its collaborative community that includes subject matter specialists, implementers, developers and end-users. Our mission is to help companies around the world to grow with freedom. To do this, we focus on high-quality code and we have established a culture that supports, recognizes, and respects our great community, so they can share their knowledge with the world. The project is built with ZK, Maven, PostgreSQL or Oracle, Jetty, OSGi and it is written mainly in Java. The challenge Having a worldwide community present tough challenges such as coordinating different needs without letting the code to become a mess. By making contributors use the ZK Java approach consistently, ZK helps us address this challenge. Furthermore, handling client-side validations in this kind of software could be a tedious and risky task as it consumes plenty of development time and when done sloppily it opens security breaches. ZK's server-centric approach lets us control all validations on the server without exposing unnecessary data. Why ZK? Formerly the project front end was built using Swing. When we recognized the need to switch to new web-based technology, there was an attempt to create a web interface with JSF, but that didn't get enough interest and traction from the community. One community member developed a proof of concept using ZK, this allowed us to identify that the switch from Swing to ZK was more natural as there were similar concepts and components.
