Indian states module announcement

December 14th, 2009

Functional Design: This module is developed on top of Openbravo ERP core and loads the regions or states which belongs to India. India has union of states comprising of 28 states and 7 union territories. Basically this module will have these states and union territories of India. Anyone can download and install this module to view the regions of India.  Click here to know more on Functional Specification.

Technical Design: This is a simple design of the Indian State module which has been developed with the dependency of Core module and it is defined as an extension module. Find below the technical content of the design document.

1. Module Creation
2. Data Feed
3. Dataset
4. Exporting the Module
5. Packaging the Module

Note: An example has been included in HowTos section under “How to create dataset” link.

Conclusion: The Indian States extension module will act as an independent module. The country India already exists in theCore module but there are no states (Openbravo ERP refers this as Region) available. So this new module will have the states of India like TamilNadu, Andra Pradesh, etc in the Region Tab which comes under General Setup || Application || Country Region and City || Country.
