Handling 25,000+ Journal Entries per Day in ERPNext (Without Sales Invoices) – Is ERPNext Suitable?

Hi Community,

I am integrating a mobile food delivery application similar to Zomato with ERPNext, and I need guidance on whether ERPNext is the right platform for my accounting use case.

Use Case Details:

  • The mobile app handles food delivery orders.

  • For each order, the system generates 7–8 Journal Entries (for vendor settlement, platform fees, delivery charges, discounts, GST, etc.).

  • I am not using Sales Invoices at all in ERPNext.

  • The accounting layer is purely Journal Entry–based.

    Volume Expectations:

    • Daily Journal Entries: 50,000 – 60,000 initially

    • Monthly Journal Entries: ~18,00,000

    • Yearly volume will be significantly higher.

Questions:

  1. Is ERPNext technically capable of handling this volume of Journal Entries without performance degradation?

  2. Are there known database or posting performance limits for Journal Entries at this scale?

I want a realistic answer, whether ERPNext can handle this in production, or if this use case requires a different architecture or system.

Looking forward to expert inputs from the community.

Thanks in advance.
