Compiere ERP’s Model-Driven Application Platform comprised of an Applications Dictionary, an Engine, and a Database for Transaction.  

Applications Dictionary: Repository of business logic meta-data (window, field, report & workflow definitions) 

Transaction Database: Repository for your transaction (e.g. invoices) and set-up (e.g. customer) data.  

Transaction Engine: Processing the commands between business logic from the Applications Dictionary, transaction data from the Transaction Database and user requests. 

Customizing your Solution 

The significant breakthrough in the Compiere Model-driven Platform is that it stores business logic in an applications dictionary rather than being hard-coded into software programs. At runtime, The Compiere Transaction Engine reads and writes information from the applications dictionary and the transactions database, utilizes the business logic to assemble windows and data and present the results to the user. 

With business logic stored in the Applications Dictionary as rows in the Compiere database schema, customizing the application is a simple matter of creating, modifying or deleting business logic in the Applications Dictionary. System administrators use the Compiere client to access and change the business logic in the Applications Dictionary, typically without programming. Once saved, Applications Dictionary changes are available immediately to the Transaction Engine and for user transactions. 

 What’s more, storing business logic separately from the Compiere executables enables you to ensure that your business-specific optimizations remain in place over the lifetime of your solution, even though upgrades to newer versions of Compiere software. Unlike traditional ERP systems that recommend adapting your business processes to match the default software settings, Compiere encourages you to customize the solution you deploy to match your business needs. As your business environment changes, you can adapt Compiere to your changing needs–quickly and easily.
