Re: [Web-erp-developers] Feature List/Road Map

[Phil D. <we...@pa...>]

I am a BIG fan of PDF - compact, open spec and abundant 3rd party tools.
Precise positioning - free reading using a multitude of readers.

Not such a fan of such large peices of software to read them. However,
everyone has a pdf reader they are as widely used almost as a
web-browser.

You've had quite a chequered history Steve working for was it Great
Plains (or one of those big accounting software vendors) previously and
now a major imaging company.

I am thinking really only perhaps some comparative graphing and KPI
reporting perhaps on order fill, stock turnover, gross profit by
salesman, product category etc etc. I see this as pdf based all using
the existing class we are currently using.

I am a little concerned about the multi-language capability of this
class. I will not re-write these reports a 3rd time!
