CK-ERP v.0.8.1 [包括简体和繁体中文用户界面]

ckwu

The first release, v.0.8.1, of CK-ERP, has been posted at SourceForge.Net, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-erp and http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-ledger .   New features (comparing to CK-Ledger 0.7.3) include total rewrite of CK-Ledger codebase, ck-api, ck-contact, concurrent edit/delete, exclusive execution of critical functions, school band / property management sample chart of account, access to individual transaction update history, detail archive of all transaction changes (post-insert, post-edit, pre-delete image), uniform table name prefix, approval cancellation, separate salary payment function, delete validation, restructuring of transaction filtering, checksum verification before frontline script execution, restructuring of default value edit and many others.

Contribution from Jerre Cope in providing the sample school band chart of account is greatly appreciated.  Congratulation is also due to the phpGroupWare team in developing the excellent addressbook module, which forms the basis of the concurrent ck-contact module.

Please note that there are substantial differences between CK-ERP and CK-Ledger's data structure.  Direct upgrade of CK-Ledger data to run within CK-ERP is not possible.  Manual data transportation is required. CK-ERP also requires php v.4.2 or above to run correctly.

CK-ERP (with 16 modules, Admin, Contact Mgmt, Ledger, Bank Reconciliation, Inventory, Service, AP, AR, PO, SO, Quotation, POS for Cashier, POS for Manager, HR, Staff Self Service, Payroll) runs on top of phpGroupWare.  Operating platform can either be LAMP or LAPP.  It provides accounting and back office functionalities to SMEs and utilizes phpgw to administer accounts/groups.  Please report error and suggestion to the mailing list, [email protected] .  General history and expected development is available at the mailing list's Archive.

This is a reply to a query raised by gfaxman at a similar thread located a different forum.  The query is listed the end of the reply.

Hi, gfaxman,

The answer to your first query is to utilize the attribute (属性) function embedded in the ledger.  In deed, the attribute function is specifically designed to handle reporting by project, customer, department, product line, sales regions, etc, etc.  Attribute value may be modified at Administration -> Default Values -> Ledger Default Value.       You could change the default ck_project to ck_customer to see if it meets your requirement.

Unfortunately, the answer to your second query is to the negative.  CK-ERP is designed to handle inventory by lots, not individual items.  Therefore, there is no function to handle tracking and tracing of individual inventory items's serial number.  Because one incoming or outgoing inventory lot can contain thousands of similar items with different serial numbers, potentially, data record of one inventory lot can explode into thousands of serial number records if inventory items are accounted for individually.  Since most accounting packages are geared toward generic situations, I suspect that only very high end inventory system would be designed to handle accounting of inventory by individual items.

Hope I haven't disappointed you too much.

Cheers,
CK

谢谢你的答复！

我正好和你相反，对计算机比较熟习，对会计一窍不通，最近老板提出要想用计算机管理公司，才零时学了学会计。哈哈！

国内的会计软件(包括商业的)看了一些，要么功能太差(比如单机版，比如没有存货管理等等)，要么太贵。一直比较喜欢Linux，所以搜索了下，发现了 ck-erp.

先说说我的目标吧，我所在公司主要从事保修服务，需要的设备零件很多，客户也比较多，因此希望用计算机同时将设备，费用都管理起来。有几个想法：

1、从会计管理角度看，我希望能够按客户(或者说工程)分别记录用在每个客户上的设备零件费用，管理费用，差旅费用。因此最初的想法是按客户建立二级/三级科目，这样，既可以随时看到总的各项费用，也可以看到每个客户的各项费用。你提出：

1550 Inventory / Restaurant supplies
1560 Inventory / Restaurant supplies - food items
1561 Inventory / Restaurant supplies - food items - rice
1562 Inventory / Restaurant supplies - food items - meat
1563 Inventory / Restaurant supplies - food items - oil

如果按，可以看见每个客户的费用，但无法看总帐。

在ck-erp里的会计分录里好象可以录入Project, 不知是不是用来解决这个问题的，但不知如何用。

2、对使用的零件，特别是贵重零件，希望能够应该按种类/序列号管理，收货，发货都应该可以输入序列号。这样才可能跟踪保修等。

Dear CK:

I'm trying to understand the flow of CK-ERP.

Is there a user guide available like other accounting software? (Doesn't matter if there isn't, may be I will write you one if I'm going to use this software)

Here's the Q. and appreciate your feedback.
Will the positing action in SO or PO update the Qty of Items in Inventory Modules?

Hello, Tony,

Thank you for your interest in CK-ERP.

With regard to the user guide, this is the reply that I gave to a similar query raised at linuxforum.net,

"I haven't written any operations manual. I am one of those guys that hate reading a 500 page manual before using a software. By corollary, I hate writing manuals too. One of the design principle of CK-ERP is to allow an experienced accountant to test run CK-ERP without referring to a manual. I, myself, is a professional accountant, first; software developer, second. So, I hope, I do understand the aspiration and likely requirements of the target user population. However, if there is any area, which you consider to be less than intuitive to a first time user, please raise a query."

I am afraid I am not too sure what "positing" may refer to.  However, the workflow and/or general sequence of events is designed to be as follows,

For POs,
a) Issuance of PO (associated data entered via ck-po)
b) Receipt of ordered goods (associated data entered via ck-inv)
c) Receipt of vendor invoice (associated data entered via ck-ap)

For SOs,
a) Receipt of SO, Issuance of Order Acknowledgement (associated data entered via ck-so)
b) Delivery of ordered goods (associated data entered via ck-inv)
c) Issuance of customer invoice (associated data entered via ck-ar)

Thus, inventory balance are not increased/decreased when PO/SO are generated, but rather actioned as a result of goods receipt/delivery transaction put through by warehouse staff when the goods physically enters/leaves the warehouse.

BTW, a new release, v.0.9.1, had been released at SourceForge.net.  Hopefully, time permitting, the new release will be posted to cosoft.org.cn and sf.linuxforum.net during this weekend.  This new release features a new CRM module.

Cheers,
CK

ckwu, 我对你项目比较感兴趣。既然叫做ERP，应该不仅仅是一个财务软件吧。你需要什么具体的支持，请给我站内信。

谢谢！
