OpenVPMS in Ireland?

Submitted by Guest on Fri, 10/06/2011 - 18:33

Hi,

We're very interested in supporting and using the OpenVPMS project in Ireland however, is it possible to change the currency and the word 'tax' to 'vat'.  In Ireland, there is many different tax rates, some are 0% 13% and 21% so the way I see in the demo should be the same.

Is it possible to intergrate with Sage Accounting?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Tim.

Currencies and taxes are both configurable when logged in as an administrator.

The following applies to OpenVPMS 1.4.

To add a currency:

  1. Go to Administration -> Lookups
  2. Click New, and in the pop-up select Currency. This will display a New Currency window
  3. Enter the currency details, and click OK

The currency needs to be linked to the practice:

  1. Go to Administration -> Organisation
  2. Click Select, and in the pop-up select Practice. Click Find
  3. Select the Practice
  4. Click Edit, and in the Edit Practice window, select the new currency in the Currency field
  5. Click OK

To add a tax:

  1. Go to Administration - > Lookups
  2. Click New, and in the pop-up select Tax Type. This will display a New Tax Type window
  3. Enter the tax details and click OK

One or more taxes can be linked to a Practice, Practice Location, Product Type, Product and/or Customer.

I can't comment on Sage Accounting integration other than to say that you can export OpenVPMS reports as CSV files. You may be able to import these into Sage.

Thanks.

Yes, sage isn't really the most important thing in my mind.

 

I know this might seem a simple question, but how do I install the openvpms software on a VPS? I have the VPS setup and I tried following the documentation but no joy! I have root access and access to the terminal only and no webmin?

 

I look forward to your reply..

Tim

You should be able to perform OpenVPMS installation on a VPS using just a terminal. It largely depends on the flavour of OS as to how you install the required packages however.

The minimum software requirements are:

  • Java 1.6.x or higher (or 1.5 for OpenVPMS 1.4)
  • MySQL (5.0.24a or higher)
  • MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver (1.5 or higher)
  • Apache Tomcat  (5.5.12 or higher)

You don't mention which VPS you are using. If you have apt-get installed, you may be able to install the above using:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk mysql-server tomcat6 tomcat6-admin libmysql-java

The instructions on the Ubuntu page for linking the mysql connector jar and configuring tomcat may help:
http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/how-install-openvpms-ubuntu-server

Once mysql is installed, you create the OpenVPMS database as per http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/new-install#schema

You now need to populate the database with some data as per: http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/new-install#data

With these installed, you can deploy OpenVPMS, either by the Tomcat administration GUI, or by copying the openvpms.war to the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps dir.

To enable report generation and printing, you need to install OpenOffice as well. The following page describes its installation on Ubuntu: http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/install-openoffice-headless-servic...
