Open ERP
OpenERP is an Open Source enterprise management software. Earlier it was known as TinyERP, which covered most of the enterprises needs and processes like accounting, HR, sales CRM, inventory etc.

After you have selected a specific profile for your setup, you can configure it as the template of your enterprise. This will be reflected in all report pages.

Like Adempiere, TinyERP or Open ERP as now it is known as, is also an open source ERP solution which is available as a single file installation that includes all the requisite plug-ins or databases needed by the software. From the Open ERP site, www.openerp.com, download the stable release of TinyERP.

As of now, the present stable release is version 4.2.3.4, so you can opt for all-in-one installer by name 'tinyerp-allinone-setup-4.2.3.4.exe' (for Windows). Once you run the installation, it will automatically install PostgreSQL Server 8.2 for database and also the GTK plugins for rendering the graphical interface of the ERP software.

After the installation, when you start the tinyERP server and then its client, you have to make one thing sure that the service for PostgreSQL is started and is running through the Windows Service monitor. When the tiny ERP client starts for the first time, it prompts to create a new database. From File > Databases > New Database, we can create a new database. Name it as 'pcqdemo'.

When Tiny ERP has been configured, you can select from manufacturing, accounting or even for a service oriented company profile.

Once configured, it automates and helps you control all business activities. All business processes like sales that trigger manufacturing orders, accounting entries being updated by stock operations, etc can be integrated through this software.
