OpenERP version 7 is one of the best ERP solutions i have seen even comparing OpenERP with its previous version and other software too in open source category. Wanted to know how much time it require to customize modules in openerp verison 7
nice post –
Hi,
yes the User Interface and social media integration in OpenERP version 7 is way far better as compare to version 5 and 6. Apart from that OpenERP version 7 have new features also.
Back to your question – How much time it require to customize modules in OpenERP version 7.
It actually depend on the modules you would like to customize, if its normal enterprise modules such as sales purchase it would take less time whereas modules such as Manufacturing or warehouse and Inventory may take little longer time.
Although we prefer you to implement the vanilla module and provide us with the customization point after that we can provide you the exact timelines of the customization in the modules.

A very superb post on OpenERP implemention version 7, I am currently using version 6 and trying to upgrade or migrate to version 7.
I am still awaiting as I got to know version 8 of OpenERP or OpenERP 8 may be release soon. What is your opinion – should I go for vesion 7 or Wait for OpenERP 8. Can you provide when OpenERP version 8 will release ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Barry,
Thanks for providing those lovely comments and considering us to answer your queries.
As per my knowledge OpenERP 7 got released in the year 2012 December (the stable version). There are 2 points here is you are happy with version 6 and don’t want to spend un necessary then wait for version 8 to get released, Because OpenERP version 8 may take 2 to 3 month to go stable.
If you would like to go for OpenERP version 7 out of new design then it is better to go for migration services by Globalteckz. Although still my suggestion would be to wait for OpenERP 8 and then completely move from version 6 to 8.
As far as date is concern OpenERP version 8 release date is not yet confirmed market says it may get release at the end of this year
Although version 6 got released in January 2011, version 7 in December 2012 henceforth expectation for v8 is end or starting of 2014.
