Hi ERPNext Community,

We’re excited to announce our initiative to localize ERPNext for countries in the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) region.

Why OHADA Localization?

OHADA countries share a common legal and business framework, making it an ideal target for a unified ERPNext localization. By localizing ERPNext for OHADA, we can:

  • Simplify Business Operations: Provide businesses with a tool that aligns with their local regulations and accounting standards.
  • Boost ERPNext Adoption: Attract new users from OHADA countries by offering a tailored solution.
  • Strengthen the ERPNext Community: Collaborate with OHADA-based developers and businesses to create a vibrant and supportive community.

How You Can Contribute:

We invite the ERPNext community to join us in this effort. Here are some ways you can contribute:

  1. Technical Expertise:
  • Develop custom scripts and apps to implement OHADA-specific features.
  • Contribute to the core ERPNext codebase to enhance its OHADA compatibility.
  • Test and debug the localization to ensure accuracy and performance.
  1. Domain Knowledge:
  • Share insights into OHADA accounting standards, tax regulations, and business practices.
  • Help translate ERPNext’s user interface and documentation into French, the official language of OHADA.
  1. Community Engagement:
  • Spread the word about OHADA localization on social media and forums.
  • Recruit other community members to join the effort.
  • Organize workshops and webinars to educate users on OHADA-specific features.

Let’s work together to make ERPNext the go-to solution for businesses in OHADA countries!

If you’re interested in contributing or have any questions, please share your thoughts and ideas in this thread.

Hi @mangroliya,

I’m working on a very similar project on ERPNext v16 for a company in the Comoros: the revised SYSCOHADA reference, a mapping between ERPNext accounts and SYSCOHADA codes, then the financial statements, notes annexes and DSF built from the GL entries.

Could you tell me what your OHADA work covers? Only the chart of accounts, or also the statements (Bilan, Compte de Résultat, TAFIRE), the notes and the DSF? Is there a repository or app I can look at?

I’d be glad to compare approaches and share what I learn.

Thanks,

Khaladi
