ERPNext for University Management

ERPNext
1

Hey guys,

I want to use ERPNext for making an application which can be used by my institution as a part of project.
So, i have a couple of questions regarding the same.

  1. Is it possible for me to remove most of the existing modules like HR, Accounts,Stock etc and replace them with the ones essential for my project ?
  2. We are a team of 4 working on this project. Which would be the ideal way to share the repo and work? Should the repo include bench-repo and frappe-bench as well? Or will only sharing the frappe-bench be sufficient?

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Akarsh

  1. Instead of removing ERPNext modules after installation, install only frappe and start developing your own modules. The mentioned modules only get installed if erpnext is installed after frappe.
  2. Code can be shared on github e.g. GitHub - neilLasrado/pranali_reloaded: An Reporting System for Rotaract District Organization. Only the app folder is shared so you can install frappe apps on command
    bench install-app app_name https://app_git_url

Note:
GitHub - neilLasrado/pranali_reloaded: An Reporting System for Rotaract District Organization is an app for non-profit organization where different Project is added instead of ERPNext’s Project.

@Akarsh_Hegde Awesome.

Check this out:

We are already at a reasonable stage to release a prototype and it would be great if you want to join in.

@neilLasrado is working on this and he will send out an update next week.

Hi Rushabh,

Trust you’re doing awesome. This sounds really interesting but the link you posted leads to an empty repo! I’m just wondering if it’s the right link since you said the project is already at a reasonable stage to release a prototype

Thanks again for all the great work

Cheers!

Hi @neil

Although I am not a programer by any stretch, if you need any feedback on what you have created, I would be more than happy to spent some time.
I have been a teacher 15 years and I was the coordinators of educational information system in my previous school (PowerSchool and ManageBac).
So if you want teachers, admin and parents perspectives on an educational portal, let me know.
Best,
François

Hi @Francois_Ifitwala
It would be good if you can share your thoughts considering Student, Teacher/Faculties, Parent and Administration role. This will help everyone including me to understand the feature set required in it and how we can play a role in contributing something into it.

Another issue :- In the “Fees” form , when i am saving fees details that time fees name not showing properly it showing like “07fdgh”.
i also try to raise an issue on git-hub but there is an no option to raise an issue.

@sagar I enabled reporting issues on Github repo. The issue seems to be because the employee name of the selected employee is not set. Its a mandatory field in the employee master. Lets track issues via github from now.
