What is it?

ERPNext is an open-source enterprise resource planning system that brings accounting, order management, inventory, manufacturing, asset management and project tracking into one centralized application. It is aimed at businesses that would otherwise buy separate software for each of these functions.

The application covers cash flow and financial reporting, sales orders, customers and suppliers, stock levels and replenishment, shipments, production planning with bills of materials and job cards, subcontracting, and the full lifecycle of fixed assets. Project work is supported through tasks, timesheets and issues tracked per project.

ERPNext runs on the Frappe Framework, a Python and JavaScript web framework that provides the database layer, authentication and REST API, with Frappe UI supplying Vue components for the interface. It can be hosted on Frappe Cloud, run via Docker, or installed locally with the bench command-line tool.

Things to know

  • The quick Docker setup is a disposable demo and cannot install custom apps.
  • Licensed under GPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires derivative works to be open-sourced under the same terms.
  • Self-hosting a production instance requires significant setup beyond the demo, and the README points to separate documentation for it.
