almost everything in openerp is exported as a webservice.

you can access fields, hit buttons, trigger workflow transitions via XML-RPC

(the page refers to v6.1 but that works on v7 as well)

It might not be far from the truth to say: OpenERP server is a webservice.

Hey there. I totally get the struggle of syncing up mobile updates with your OpenERP CRM. Been there, done that. One sweet solution I found is to use OpenERP's XML-RPC API. It's like the magic wand for this kinda stuff. With a bit of coding mojo, you can whip up a nifty web service to make the sync dance happen.

Here's the deal: set up a custom web service in OpenERP using the XML-RPC API. Then, have your sales champ update the status on their mobile, and let the web service wave its wand to make the OpenERP screen do the happy update jig.

Give it a shot, and may your CRM updates be as smooth as butter :)

I did something similar a while back, and it saved me loads of time. Just a heads-up, though: make sure your OpenERP version plays nice with the XML-RPC magic, and test it in a sandbox first. Nothing worse than a sync party that crashes. A good example of how this can be done: https://andersenlab.com/services
