<br>I'm tracking widgets that I'm selling. Ideally, there would be a form for new inventory, a form for when items are sold, etc. Invoice creation and the like would be nice, but is probably overkill. Being able to attach product images is a pretty high priority, and the fieldset must be configurable to allow for shipment tracking numbers and widget-specific info.<br>
<br>I took a look at tracmor. It looked ok, but not configurable enough for my needs. I couldn't figure out how to modify the inventory fieldset to include such widget-specific information or include a picture. It's entirely possible it's there, just hidden. Shipping courier integration with tracking numbers is nice though.<br>

I checked it out, but like most of the OOo suite, it is not very user friendly. I'm somewhat familiar with relational database design, so I was able to get my custom fields in there and all, but setting up the forms was a real pain. I wanted to have a list of possible colors in a database, and have a one to many relationship from widgets to colors. That is, a widget can have multiple colors. This was absolutely aggravating to figure out, hardly intuitive, and I ended up wasting ~3 hours on it yesterday, finally getting that part to work. So OOo base is very powerful, but seems so hard to use.<br>
<br>Will check out Adempiere today.<br><br>Thanks for all the suggestions!<br></div></div><br><div dir="ltr"><div>--<br><br><font size="4">Craig Younkins</font><br>Mobile: (301) 520-0463<br><a href="http://cyounkins.blogspot.com/">Website/Blog</a><font size="2"><br>
