In this chapter we examined the various human resource applications available in OpenERP. We installed the base Employee Directory application followed by applications that managed time and attendance as well as leave requests. Finally, we installed a module that allowed us to manage the recruiting processes of new employees. We walked through completing an employment application and finally turning the potential applicant into an employee.
In the next chapter we will look at the Project Management application in OpenERP and how it can be used to improve service quality for customers. It allows you to organize from the most simple projects to complex projects involving multiple tasks. Furthermore, you can even track the time related to projects and display project information in a variety of graphical formats to make it easier to track your deadlines.
