Hello Community,
I am following up on my own post from two years ago (also see my other post on the same issue: Version 11 - Backflushing Raw Materials based on Material Transfer - Bug?). Unfortunately, even three versions down the line, these issues are still not resolved, and we are still using version 10 where the “Backflush Raw Materials Based On Material Transferred for Manufacture” feature is working. However, there are lots of other bugs in that version (especially related to GST), and since it is not supported anymore, all these would never get fixed. On top, such an old version is likely a security risk.
So, now our options are either (a) changing the software or (b) getting this one fixed. As for an alternative software ERPAG supports all our required functionality, but as a new software would require a lot of staff training again.
I would greatly prefer the second (fix it) option, and it’s not that we didn’t try. We hired a Pune developer (which got recommended to us by the Frappe team). They fixed some other issues for us (like the “target warehouse” functionality in the Delivery Note, which would not function with product returns). But despite that was a condition of our order, they told us afterwards that they cannot publish these (rather small) fixes as a pull request and get them merged with the main software. However, that is a very unsatisfactory approach, as after patching ERPnext with our “custom fixes” our system becomes “non-updatable”. And hence we would need to use our own “custom fixes” for every issue coming up afterwards. But that seems just short of having to develop our own software;)
So, my question to the community: can someone recommend us a developer who can (a) fix the manufacturing bugs, and (b) get these fixes merged with the main software via pull request? Requirement (A) seems easy, but we haven’t found anyone yet committing to (B). You may answer here or PM me.
Cheers,
Oliver
