Adempiere Enterprise Solution Conceptual Glossary Is A Unified Adempiere Language (UAL):
Lets Start Learning Our New Language :+)

Architecture is King... ;)
A
Application Dictionary (AD) :
AD is the most important developer tool given by Adempiere.Like Elements, Tables,
Columns, References, Windows, Tabs, Fields, etc.
C
Callout :
A callout can be looked at as an extension at the field level.
D
Data Dictionary:
A data dictionary is a set of metadata that contains definitions and representations of
data elements. Within the context of a DBMS, a data dictionary is a read-only set of
tables and views. The data dictionary is database in its own dictionary. Amongst other
things, a data dictionary holds the following information:
* Precise definition of data elements
* Usernames, roles and privileges
* Schema objects
* Integrity constraints
* Stored procedures and triggers
* General database structure
* Space allocations
E
Enterprise Modeling:
Enterprise modelling is the process of improving the enterprise performance through the
creation of enterprise models. This includes the modelling of both business processes and
IT.Also An enterprise model is a computational representation of the structure,
activities, processes, information, resources, people, behavior, goals, and constraints
of a business, government, or other enterprises.
M
Meta Data:
Metadata is structured, encoded data that describe characteristics of information-bearing
entities to aid in the identification, discovery, assessment, and management of the
described entities.Also Metadata is a set of optional structured descriptions that are
publicly available to explicitly assist in locating objects.
Module :
A New Module in Adempiere is * Table-Column structure * Input handling and validation
rules * Document Type & Print Format * Define Default Accounts * Workflow Process *
Callout definition and process-button definition consolidated via Report & Process *
Final Consolidation in Windows under the Menu tree
R
Routing:
A routing is a description of which operations (process steps) have to be carried out and
in which order to produce a material (product).
S
SQL Procedure :
An SQL Procedure can be looked at as an extension at the process level.
T
2Pack :
It's related with Translating Dictionary Modifications from one Adempiere system to
another.
X
XML2AD :
It imports several XML files into the database in order to modify the Application
Dictionary of ADempiere.
** Adempiere Business Solution UAL
Business is Business... ;)
B
Business Partner :
A Business Partner is simply anybody you transact business with. There are three
different types of Business Partners: Employees, Customers, and Vendors.A Business
Partner can also be defined as being an Organization.
Bill of Material(BOM) :
Shows you the components of a product.A Bill of Material (BOM) is one or more Products
or BOMs
C
Cost Type :
Type of Cost (e.g. Current, Plan, Future).You can define multiple cost types. A cost
type selected in an Accounting Schema is used for accounting.
Cost Element Type :
Type of Cost Element like Material & Resource.
Cost Element :
Cost Elements allow you to define the different items that will comprise your costs.
You can define any number of Cost Elements.These include Average Invoice, Average PO,
Last Invoice Price, Last PO Price, LIFO and FIFO.
Costing Method :
The Costing Method indicates how costs will be calculated (Standard, Average, LiFo,
FiFo). The default costing method is defined on accounting schema level and can be
optionally overwritten in the product category. The costing method cannot conflict
with the Material Movement Policy (defined on Product Category).
K
Kanban :
KANBAN, a technique for work release, is a major component of the JIT philosophy. It was
first developed by the Toyota Motor Company.
If a capacity needs a part, it sends a signal (usually a card) to the up-stream station
which makes the part to send some more.
L
Lines :
Lines identify Production Line or Shipping Lines:
• Work centers groups
• Subcontract supplier
These are used along with work orders.Production lines are capable to manufacture
whole products. Production Lines assumes also shipping.
Lots and Batches :
At the opposite of KANBAN you have Lots or Batches. A "lot" is a quantity of a part which
is made all together or on a product point of view or on an operation point of view, it
is also call "batch". Batches can be created by human action or by process.
Reasons for Lots or Batches :
• Batches for process constraints
• Batches for material handling
• Traceability
• Set-up
M
Manufacturing Resource:
A Manufacturing Resource is defined as anything required for production and its
unavailability can affect the Production Plan. Manufacturing Resources can be: Plants,
Production lines, Work Centers and Work Stations.
Material Requirements Planning(MRP):
Allows Manufacturers to Forecast how much raw materials and goods they will need.
O
Operation :
An Operation is used in a routing, to describe the activity that is to be carried out
during a process step.
The operation data includes:
• Material components
• Tasks list
P
Product :
Products can include items you buy from vendors as well as items that you sell to
customers.
Product Type :
The type of product also determines accounting consequences.The types can be Item,
Resource, Service and Expense as well.
Plant :
Plants contains :
• Lines groups • Warehouses • Shipping resources • Receiving resources • Management
resources.
These are used along with bills of material and routings, Plants are the largest group of
capacities which will be managed
R
Role :
Roles are assigned permissions(Access Levels) on resources like window, process, etc
for users.
Replenish :
Specifies rules for automatically reordering of products.
W
Work Centers :
Work Centers identify :
• Capacities groups
• Subcontract supplier
These are used along with bills of material and routings, Work centers are used in task
list operations. Task lists are for example routings, maintenance task lists, inspection
plans.
Work Centers are capable to do a whole operation. Work Centers can be Production,
Shipping or Receiving centers.Shipping and Receiving centers can be associated to a group
of Dock doors.Data in work centers is used for:
• Scheduling
• Costing
• Capacity planning
• Simplifying operation maintenance
