LordVanhi10:45
LordVani was wondering10:45
LordVantrytond-console .. is it similar to just using proteus in an interactive shell?10:45
LordVan( like i did a while ago :  https://blog.lordvan.com/blog/using-proteus-to-browse-edit-trytons-data/ )10:45
cedkno proteus behaves like a client, trytond-console gives access to the ORM10:47
-!- mariomop(~quassel@190.188.44.80) has joined #tryton10:51
LordVancedk, so which is more useful / more suited to do imports of data in your opinion10:52
LordVan(into a pretty much empty DB in my case)10:53
cedkLordVan: we usually do data import with proteus so we have less to care thanks to on_change's10:53
LordVancedk, ok thanks. I shall continue that way then.10:53
-!- lucascastro(~lucascast@45.186.49.168) has joined #tryton10:54
LordVanACTION looks for up to date examples of data import using proteus in case something significant changed since 4.610:57

-!- cedk(~ced@gentoo/developer/cedk) has joined #tryton13:24
LordVanis it possible to deactivate / remove modules again (in my case one that does not add any db fields)14:36
LordVan(not important, but curious if that change din the last year)14:36
-!- rpit(~rpit@p200300c88f4cbb00cea2955fb3b32f1a.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined #tryton15:09
cedkLordVan: nothing new there, you can do it but at your own risk15:32
LordVanok thanks15:43
LordVanbtw with orders/production/invoices .. how much can things be changed retrospectively ..e .g. i notice when generating the invoice there was a typo (and that is already on the delivery note) .. can I go back and fix that (in tryton no need to re-generate the odt/pdf) ?15:45
LordVanor is anything there non-editable after a certain point? (i will test this stuff anyway but if someone already did and/or knows it that would save me some time ;)15:46
cedkLordVan: only the invoice document is archived on posting and so it does not change even if you edit the database15:47
LordVanbut can it be re-generated? like i just pressed the button, printed it and it has a mistake15:47
cedkLordVan: not if it was posted15:51
LordVani see .. not sure what "posted" means but I assume it is an invoice state15:52
LordVanACTION goes through a sample invoice to try it15:52
LordVanhmm I assume the built in accounting cannot be bypassed/disabled can it?16:14
LordVanlike it wants me to create an accoutning period or whatever16:14
LordVan(i have no clue about accounting btw)16:14
LordVanACTION figured out by now .. no clue about accounting when setting this up is .. less than helpful16:47
LordVanIs there anythign to watch out for when setting up tryton's accounting when it is not going to be used for actual accounting since that is already in some other software (propertiary unfortuantely and unlikely to change) -- so anything affected by possibly not completely correct setup?16:54
cedkLordVan: what will be Tryton used for? Management accounting? No accounting at all?17:02
LordVanthe idea is to use it for production and production documentation, delivery notes, invoice generation17:02
LordVanso no accounting at all tbh17:03
cedkLordVan: the best is to create only the required accounts and taxes that match the usage of the other accounting software17:05
cedkalso it is good to keep the same period/fiscalyear because it will ease the synchronisation17:05
LordVanyes i was going to do that with the fiscal year17:38
LordVanand taxes need to be correct anyway for invoicing17:38
LordVanbtw17:38
LordVanone important question: is it possible / feasible to import data for previous years at a later point? (not all data is prepared yet, but i would like to start using tryton in january)17:39
LordVan[for some very basic things that we use dolibarr for at the moment]17:39
LordVanSo my plan would be the following: set up basic accounts, company,.. import party data (write some modules since I need extra fields - but nothing too complicated here mostly just text- and create reports) .. then work on making sure all the data up to 2020 is correct and in a format that I can import and do it whenever that is done17:41
LordVan{the main reason is .. i think our office people were lazy .. and did not always update data in dolibar when there were mistakes on things, but instead just fixed it on paper and/or the generated odt)17:42
LordVanalternatively I will runit in parallel in january17:47
LordVanto test17:47
LordVanand then import that later too17:47
LordVan(I mean I *assume* that importing previous years later is not an issue, but just wanting to make sure)17:55
pokoliLordVan: yes, you can import historicall data can be imported using proteus18:20
pokoliLordVan: but if you have it in another system normally it's not worth the effort18:21
