Today, when i check my inbox, surprisingly there is someone from India who emailed me a message to ask about his problem facing openbravo ERP. The problem is about empty region field. Fortunately, i’ve also have faced this problem and i’ve already knows how to solve this problem. With the spirit to help, i reply his email with my answer. And now, i think there will be another person who faced the same problem. So I think, it will be helpful to write my answer to that guy on this blog. So another person who had the same problem could make a little search on Google on ended up in this blog. I hope it could help your problem. Enjoy it :)

// Last but not least, I’m sorry if my english explanation is bad. I’m not too fluent in english. But i hope you could still understand my explanation.

There is some country in Openbravo which already has the regions put on it. Such as: USA and Spain.
But for many country, the regions data is not inserted yet. We must insert it manually. To do this, at first we must check field “has region” on the country which we want to insert the data region. Let me give you the example:

For example, we want to insert the region data for country India. Then go to

General Setup || Application || Country Region and City || Country

Look at the long list of country on the table section. Double click on India. There will be a form containing a check box named “Has region”. Check it and then click save. By doing that, we will able to insert a new data region for any the country.

Now, go to the sub tab “region”. There will be a blank table. Click “New” Icon. There will be a form to create one new region. Fill it. Repeat this step every time you want to make a new region.

After you do those step, that empty region field will be magically filled with the regions you’ve made before.

Happy Openbravoing :)
