Updates for ERPNext continue to be a little delicate. If you don’t absolutely need an update, then stay on your version. Most of our users are on v6 and its very reliable still, very smooth, one client even requested we keep them on v6 when we demonstrated v7. One client is still on v4! and its just perfect for them; the interface of v4 is still an absolute beauty.

You may end up with internal server error messages and an unusable system.

For your needs though; run git stash against frappe-bench/apps/frappe and against /erpnext. Then run git fetch, then git pull against these 2 folders. afterwards; run bench migrate; then bench update --patch.

If you have nagging errors due to changes try bench update --reset to force your changes to be overwritten.

You may be lucky.
