How to get started as an absolute newbie?

Hi,

In my startup we are looking into adopting a system to keep track of our inventory, mainly to keep in check our raw materials with the help of a Zebra barcode reader. The idea is to receive an item, scan the code, assign it to the item’s characteristics (type and quantity of material, reception day, expiration date…), scan it when depleted and have the item move into a “to be ordered” section, then removed once it’s scanned again. I’ve been playing around with the desktop demo on and off for months, but now it’s time to make it or break it (thus me making this post).

To begin with, I’m currently working in the demo because having The Office examples help me recognize what I’m actually looking at, but I would like to eventually have our own account/user set up, which is something I couldn’t previously manage and would appreciate help with.
The next issue I found is setting up our own company as such, the only option available is Dunder Mifflin. Although I’ve created a new record in the “parties” section with our info, I can’t find it in the drop-down options in the “inventory & stock / inventories” > ”company” when I create a new record. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

You have to create another Company linked to your party. It’s in the Company Menu.

Are you using the demo as in demo.tryton.org tryton instance, or are you using the demo script to initialize your own testing database?

In the case of using demo.tryton.org beware that it is reset from what I recall daily.

Well, my login routine is the following: I double click in the app, the Tryton login window opens, and I click “connect” with the pre-selected profile and user name options, so my guess is that I’m actually using the version that resets daily… Can you point me in the direction that allows me to develop my own database?

You need to run the trytond server with a database.

You can do this using the recommended method: docker: Tryton - Get Tryton
How to run Tryton using Docker

Or if your technical proficiency allows it you can run trytond more directly as stated in docs.tryton.org.

One trytond is running and a database is setup, then you can connect to it using tryton/sao.
