Summary


In this chapter we started by walking through how to change the headers and footers on company reports through OpenERP. Next, we went on to defining custom footers for reports. Many documents in OpenERP can be modified using OpenOffice. We walked through installing the module and editing the default OpenERP sales order.

In the next chapter we will dive into creating our own custom modules in OpenERP. With custom modules, we can extend OpenERP with additional fields, automate processes, and better integrate OpenERP for an enterprise operation. Even better, OpenERP's design approach means you will not be making any changes to the OpenERP source code. Instead, you will learn how to extend OpenERP with a module you will build from the ground up!
