Dear all

I am very new to Tryton and I am trying to install and configure the Tryton ERP since the last 2 days. Is there any step by step configuration guide available to configure the Purchase process in Tryton?.

As I couldn’t find the configuration guide, i was just creating a Party and then linking that to a company. Then i try to create a product and not able to provide the list price as the field is not editable. I am stuck here.

Could you please share a step by step configuration guide?.

Thanks and regards

Velu

Hi there!

​A common step is to assign the company to the user you are logged in with. Try it this way, as the price list and other editable fields depend on having a company set in your current context.

Once you solve that, the next steps to get the Purchase process working are:

1. ​ **Create a Chart of Accounts** (and ensure it is linked to your company).

2. ​ **Create Product Categories** (and configure the accounting properties inside them).

3. ​ **Create Products** and assign them to those categories.

4. ​ **Create a Fiscal Year** and open the accounting periods.

​This should be enough to allow you to create sales, purchases, and account moves. Welcome to the Tryton community!
