Introduction

Welcome to the Openbravo for Coworking User Guide.

This user oriented document has been designed with the aim of guiding through the process of learning Openbravo for Coworking, a vertical solution to manage coworking spaces. Openbravo for Coworking is built on top of Openbravo 3.

This user guide is split in several parts:

Business Flows

This part lists and briefly explains a set of business flows.

There are several key business areas such as membership management, procurement, resource reservation, sales etc., tipically present in a coworking organization.
Those key business areas are related between each others, which leads us to the definition of the business flows.

To put us in context, each business flow is listed and briefly explained below:

  • New coworking space setup checklist: Follow this checklist in order to complete the configuration of your new coworking space.
  • Procure to Pay manages the life-cycle of a procure process from the moment the company requests or orders goods, all way through warehouse staff receives the goods and until the supplier invoice is paid.
  • Membership Management manages from new leads follow-up to service contract management and invoicing.
  • Resource reservation to invoicing addresses resource reservation (e.g meeting room reservations, etc...) in self-service, to resource consumption invoicing.
  • Order to Cash manages the life-cycle of a sales process, from the moment a customer requests a quotation or orders goods, all way through warehouse staff ships the goods and until the buyer pays the invoice.
  • Payables and Receivables Management addresses customer collections and supplier payments.
  • Bank Statement to Bank Reconciliation addresses the business process for entering and reconciling bank statements with account payable or receivable transactions and cash balances in the general ledger.
  • Period End Close to Financial Report manages daily accounting activities as well as the life-cycle of an accounting period.
    It also allows the business processes for the production of internal and external financial and tax reports.
  • Asset Acquisition to Dispose manages global assets life cycle from acquisition to disposition, including depreciation and other write-downs.
  • Budget Analysis is all about taking an holistic approach for managing budgets to achieve a single view of the company.

Each of above listed business flow is explained in deep within the Openbravo application area where it can be executed.
