data does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.

There is so called [Inventory API](http://git.erp5.org/gitweb/erp5.git/blob/HEAD:/product/ERP5/Tool/SimulationTool.py?js=1#l1000) which you can know your inventory from various aspects. From ERP5 design point of view, warehouse inventory management and accounting is same.(container is warehouse or account, resource is currency or physical product, etc) Test code is [here](http://git.erp5.org/gitweb/erp5.git/blob/HEAD:/product/ERP5/tests/testInventoryAPI.py?js=1)

There is also a reporting system and file conversion system. For example you can create a report which can be exported as PDF, ODS or other famous file format.

### Evaluation of the [[Storage API|UseCases/StorageAPI]]

FIXME: This is assessment of what the API for storing the accounting data

does, so I think it's tough to do it as a list of questions.

ERP5 uses ZODB(object database for python). API is simple. Following is an example.

    transaction = context.accounting_module.newContent(portal_type='Accounting Transaction')

    transaction.edit(source_section=xxx, start_date=now)

    line = transaction.newContent(portal_type='Accounting Transaction Line')

    line.edit(source_value=context.account_module.sales, source_credit=100)

    line.getSourceValue().getTitle()

    line.getSourceCredit()

### Evaluation of the [[Community Health|UseCases/CommunityHealth]]

- Is the [[license both determined as Free Software by FSF and OSI-approved|USeCases/CommunityHealth#license-approved]]? Yes (Mainly GPLv2 and some are Zope public license and maybe others)

- Is the [[license GPL-compatible||UseCases/CommunityHealth#gpl-compatible]]? Yes

- Does the project

- How many

  [[active developers/companies contribute to the project||USeCases/CommunityHealth#dev-count]]? ERP5 is a company based free software(not community based). Nexedi is the developer company. And I think there are some companies which can support/use ERP5.

     * If there aren't many, how hard would it be to take over the project if needed?

- Is there good [[developer documentation|UseCases/CommunityHealth#dev-docs]]? Not so much. Source code and test code is the best documents.

- How easy it to [[engage as a developer with the community|UseCases/CommunityHealth#dev-welcoming]]? Since ERP software is never implemented for personal use, all ERP developers do it as their job. If somebody want to engage as a developer, he/she need a real ERP project and requires a lot of experience.
