ADempiere 3.9.1 Release Note



The world class professional ERP ADempiere have released its latest version 3.9.1 twenty days back. Great News. A big salute to the great community setting the proper measures and  taking the software to the next level.

The acceptance level of ADempiere screens in the bottom level of organization - data entry operators - is always difficult. In the case of massive number of PO's or direct invoice entries, will take time and less visibility of entire picture. The new version contains the Quick Sheet feature, which can save the data entry time, but the complete view of an entry is still bit far. For example, while we do a Invoice entry, we move to Invoice Line, we are losing the business partner, invoice reference number, cumulative amount of the invoice etc. The included tab as grid will sort out most of the issues, but the data entry in that view need fine tuning to grab the data entry satisfaction.

But this is not  at all a concern while selecting ADempiere as an ERP. ADempiere is a gem, where a company can control their end to end business activity in a low cost budget.

Another important note on the new release is Cost Engine for Average Invoice, Hope the patch is covering all the reverse document costing issues in the transactions.
