As you probably know in the past we have had a lack in documentation related to the localization process. A great number of localizers (Community and Partners) have often been complaining about it, and obviously they were right...
But that was in the past :-)

During the last weeks we have been working on a new Localization Guide that will definitely improve the localizer experience. It provides all the information required for developers interested in the localization for Openbravo.
The most important value of this guide is the set of very detailed how-tos about the common modules usually involved in any localization project. These how-tos are written so that anyone can find in just one document all the required steps to complete a concrete localization task.

The guide is now available in our Wiki, although it is not fully completed. It is still pending just a few articles and, specially, a deep review from readers.
And here is where we need you!

It would be great if you could spend a few minutes to read some articles (the most interesting for you) and provide your feedback (structure, content, English...). All the opinions will be welcome, specially the good ones :-)
You can post your feedback into the Forum topic created for it.

I hope you find it interesting.
Thanks in advance for your collaboration!

We are proud to announce the availability of the Spanish withholding report Modelo 190 for the fiscal year 2011, which lists all the monetary withholdings related to professional activities and must be submitted to the Spanish tax authorities by January 31st, 2012 the latest.
This report takes into account the amounts effectively paid, therefore Modelo 190 is released as explained below:

• Withholding Report: Modelo 190 (Spain) - NOT APRM compatible v1.0.3, to be installed in Openbravo 2.50 instances without Advanced Payables and Receivables Management functionality.
• Withholding Report: Modelo 190 (Spain) v1.3.2, to be installed in Openbravo 2.50 instances working with the new financial flows (Advanced Payables and Receivables).
• Withholding Report: Modelo 190 (Spain) v3.3.2, to be installed in Openbravo 3 instances.

The last two are also ready to work in instances that have been migrated from the old financial flow. The generated report automatically merges the information from both financial flows, allowing Modelo 190 to be launched in any possible scenario.

All these modules are distributed under a commercial license that requires acquiring an activation key before the installation. However, they are available at zero cost to Professional Edition subscribers.

And good news doesn't end here: the Spanish tax report Modelo 390 will come very soon, so stay tuned!
