Client-Server Architecture
Open ERP has separate client server components.
The server runs separately from the client. It handles the business logic and communicates with the database application.
The client presents information to users and allow them to inter-operate with the server.Multiple client application is available.
Server and Modules:
Server part is written in Python programming language. The client communicates with server using XML-RPC interface.
Business functionality is organized into modules. A module is a folder with a pre-defined structure containing Python code and XML files. A module defines data structure, forms, reports, menus, procedures, workflows, etc... Modules are defined using a client-independent syntax. So, adding new objects, such as menus or forms, makes it available to any client.

Nice Blog !!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you spend a large amount of time and effort in writing the blog. I am appreciating your effort.
Scope of erp is vast as it integrates all the business processes of different departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve particular needs of the different departments.
Thanks for sharing such a nice post...
