ERPNext

100% Open-Source ERP System to help you run your business.

Motivation

Running a business is a complex task - handling invoices, tracking stock, managing personnel, and other daily operations. In a market where software is sold separately to manage each of these tasks, ERPNext does all of the above and more, for free.

Key Features

• Accounting: All the tools you need to manage cash flow in one place, right from recording transactions to summarizing and analyzing financial reports.
• Order Management: Track inventory levels, replenish stock, and manage sales orders, customers, suppliers, shipments, deliverables, and order fulfillment.
• Manufacturing: Simplifies the production cycle, helps track material consumption, exhibits capacity planning, handles subcontracting, and more!
• Asset Management: From purchase to disposal, IT infrastructure to equipment. Covers every branch of your organization, all in one centralized system.
• Projects: Deliver both internal and external projects on time, budget and profitability. Track tasks, timesheets, and issues by project.

Under the Hood

• Frappe Framework: A full-stack web application framework written in Python and JavaScript. The framework provides a robust foundation for building web applications, including a database abstraction layer, user authentication, and a REST API.

• Frappe UI: A Vue-based UI library, to provide a modern user interface. The Frappe UI library provides a variety of components that can be used to build single-page applications on top of the Frappe Framework.

Development Setup

Manual Install

The Easy Way: our install script for bench will install all dependencies (e.g. MariaDB). See https://github.com/frappe/bench for more details.

New passwords will be created for the ERPNext "Administrator" user, the MariaDB root user, and the Frappe user (the script displays the passwords and saves them to ~/frappe_passwords.txt).

1. Setup bench by following the Installation Steps and start the server

   bench start
