ADempiere Business Suite

All modules in ADempiere follows the concept of Business Process Management instead of a

departmental approach. Thus a Sales Module is arranged as Quote-to-Cash, and the

Purchasing Module is called Requisition-to-Pay.

ADempiere also use configurable business rules such as Payment Terms, Delivery Rules,

Invoicing Rules and the configurable Application Dictionary to apply business parameters

without coding by the users.

Align to Business Processes

Business processes rather than traditional departments drive Adempiere's design. In today's

flat management style, and especially in small-medium enterprises, more skillful people often

cross different business functions or even multiple related processes.

The following illustrate how each process relates to the conventional tasks:

Quote to Cash

Quote to Cash covers the business process for creating a quote for a prospect or customer,

order management, invoicing, and cash receipt. The functionality is highly integrated with the

Inventory and Fulfilment parts or often refer to as the Supply Chain Management (SCM) and

Customer Management. In traditional systems, you find this in modules like order entry and

accounts receivable.

The integration works wonderfully where no invoice can be accidently taken or paid for when

ordered materials aren’t delivered according to the remembered rules. As items are put on

Sales Orders, their quantities are reserved in the Product Info window, for a fast overview of

its available to promise for further orders.

Rules for Business Document

Rules based Document Base Type management allow a versatile but disciplined control

within the total SCM. Thus for a Sales Order, its behaviour has a systemised preset path.

Document Status Standard status of the business document marks

each stage of the business life cycle.

Document Sequencing Each Document Type has its own document

sequence numbering that is preset by default or

ClientAdmin if the Search Key value is not

entered by the user.

Document Type Engine

The Document Base Type attribute allows specific processes to govern the business document

life cycle. Each Document Base Type which is generic but common behavior can have further

derived but separately formatted Document Types.

Requisition to Pay

While the Quote to Cash handles the Accounts Receivables side from Customers, the

Requisition to Pay flow covers the Accounts Payable path or business process for creating

requisitions, purchase orders, invoice receipts, and payment processing from Suppliers and

Vendors. The functionality is similarly integrated within the SCM. In traditional systems, you

find this functionality in modules like purchasing and accounts payable.

The Materials Receipt allows for partial delivery by the suppliers and the system keeps track

of the undelivered balance so that progress payments and back orders are known by the user.


Customer Relations Management

Customer Relations Management is an inbuilt module, that provides a logical view of all

customer and prospect related activities. Customer management functions are an integrated

part of the business process. Thus their events become real-time with no batch or

synchronization processes for the back-office functionality.

Partner Relations Management

Partner Relations Management links different clients to each other allowing them to manage

lead distribution, service requests, collateral distribution,and marketing expenses. It also

allows you to provide (centralized) services.

All parties or business entities in the system are classified as Business Partners be they

Suppliers, Customers or Employees. Individual Users can have a SalesRep attribute to act as

agent or contact for another Partner Company.

Each type of Business Partner has its own further individual domain attributes to dictate its

behaviour within the system.


Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain Management covers all material management activities including inventory

receipts, shipments, movements, and stock counts within a client and its organizations and to

suppliers and customers.

Products within ADempiere are further classified as either Item, Service or Resource. They

can be attached to PriceLists or Locators for 360* visibility of their status.


Performance Analysis

Performance Analysis covers the costing and accounting dimension of the application. In

traditional systems, you find this functionality in Reporting and General Ledger, modules as

well as in those modules that generate accounting entries.

Web Store

The Adempiere Web Store provides all you need to run your web presence. The information

is shared with the standard application, so no synchronization or extra integration work is

required. The web store components can be customized to the look-and-feel of your web site.

Financials Integration

The greatest benefit of using ADempiere is its integration with Financials and Accounts

Posting. The user can then retrieve any financial statement easily.


Technology

ADempiere pursues the latest in ERP2 philosophy utilising the well tested matured Web

Enterprise concepts such as via J2EE, Jboss, or Service Oriented Acrhitecture to achieve the

Dashboard look, Email alerts, E-Commerce, and Open Standards compatibility.

The HTML Start screen covers all the options such as Web-Store, Request for CRM, and

WebStart Client setup link as well as online Manuals and live help. Been of open standards,

there are numerous tools for easier handling of Accounts.


KPI DashBoard

The Java Client is launched via Single-Sign-On for users controlled of their access to

windows, forms and processes. Respective users will be able to view their peculiar requests,

alerts and workflow actions. The latest smart update of the dashboard is the work of Stefan

Kuthan of Austria.

The Rich JavaClient allows for fast and user friendly drill-across and zoom-intos of associated

components, such as Documents, Business Partners, Roles, Rules and Pricings.


Rich and Reach User Interfaces

The JavaClient interface offers a rich client that is highly configurable by a lay user without

coding experience. All the menu buttons are standard through-out the application.


Swing Client Improvements

ADempiere has brought improvements to the

Swing and DB Connect constructs since Compiere

version of 260a, by incorporating mostly the work

of Low Hengsin, of Malaysia.

The Login Dialog now need not do a compulsory

DB connection test each time it is launched. That

option can be unchecked from the Window-

Preference Settings. Other preferences provided

are the option of calling of the same window

instances instead of launching separate windows of

the same menu item.

Users can also now logoff without exiting the

whole application. In this way users can relogin

much faster as the application instance is still kept

alive.


Security Hole Patching

The Web HTML inherited a serious security hole where the User password is easily exposed

by a simple URL hack. This Victoria Edition introduced the patching which is done by

Bahman of Iran.

Web HTML Interface

ADempiere has a greatly improved

HTML interface thanks to the work of

Robert Klein, from the USA. The Web

UI is automatically and dynamically

generated by the Application Dictionary

when its called after running the JBoss

apps server. It thus saves coding work as

it can be deployed in both clients – Rich

or Thin with worldwide web reach.


Application Dictionary Configuration

For easy changes to the application without coding, the users can handle by configuring the

Application Dictionary settings.

The changes apply via the Application Dictionary will dictate the look and feel and operations

of the Menus, Windows, Tabs, and Columns within the system.


2Pack Tool

Robert Klein also brought to the community a tool to keep their own customised verticals and

facilitiate an effortless export/import with the core application via the 2Pack plugin

framework that can package-in and package-out modules such as Fixed Assets (Robert Klein)

and Libero Manufacturing and HR which are contributed by Victor Perez of Mexico.


The Victoria Edition

As with every community release, the ADempiere package will bring to market more fixes

and enhancements for the community to apply to their client users and environments.
