<p>Now that you have access to your ERP5, we are going to show you how to create persons in ERP5, thanks to the « base » area of the application. These persons can either be you, your co-workers, your customers, your suppliers, etc. Every person you interact with, can be stored in the ERP5 database. Here we will use an example of adding persons into the ERP5 database.</p>
