Note about seen Menu’s or sub menus

Please note, the menu’s and sub menus as seen in your installation may differ to the exact list show in this documentation. OpenERP generates menu’s dynamically depending on which modules are part of your installation, which permissions your user has on the installation, and other customizations done by third party modules. As a result, more menu items or sub menu items could be seen, or those seen in this documentation may not be seen in your installation. You may treat the documentation for the menu’s here to be relevant for the same menu items as seen in your local installation where the menu items are the same.
