OpenErp and Dynamics Ax: how is programmable and customizable OpenErp?

i'm trying to compare OpenERP and Dynamics AX. Does anyone can tell me the difference when programming OpenErp and Dynamics AX? For example, I know that in Dynamics AX exists a customization layer, and also, all objects are hierarchical and programmable (and customizable). Do exists this type of concept in OpenERP ? Can i personalize it in a modular way ?

Thanks

I've never used Dynamics AX, so I can't compare them. I have written several custom modules for OpenERP, and their extension model works reasonably well. It's a bit unusual, so it takes a while to learn. They just released a description of their plans for version 7, and it sounds like the inheritance model will become much more standard.

If you want to learn more, look at the developer book's chapter on developing modules. Particularly important concepts are object inheritance and inheritance in views.

yes and yes: any OpenERP object from a (standard) module can be extended and customized in another specific / local module.

This includes:

  • customizing the fields definition (adding / hiding / redefining)
  • customizing the views and forms
  • customizing the workflows
  • ...
