Question

We have a requirement that we need to integrate OpenERP with Drupal.

I investigated but could not find any Drupal addon/module which will do the desired job.

I also investigated and found that OpenERP is based on client server architecture, where Server exposes XMl-RPC/SOAP based webservices and client uses these services for all business operations and all user actions.

More information can be found here.

As per from the document, all the business processing is done on the server.

So considering this design in mind, and considering that we can create custom modules in drupal which can perform xml-prc/soap operations, it seems we can integrate drupal with OpenERP.

Is this the only way, or i am missing something.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

for your information OpenERP doesn’t support SOAP web services, so thats sure you need to develop drupal module using XML-RPC Web Services !

Here is an example provided by openerp_doc for PHP integration using xml-rpc web services
