Hello ERPNext Community,
I’m working on a Customs Management App for ERPNext to streamline import/export processes: GitHub Repository.
Why This App?
Managing customs processes—declarations, tariff classifications, and duties—often requires specialized systems. One well-known example is ASYCUDA (asycuda.org), a comprehensive customs management system used by many governments.
However, acquiring and implementing ASYCUDA or similar systems is a complex, resource-intensive process, often requiring government-level agreements, extensive training, and dedicated infrastructure. Many businesses and organizations need a lightweight, easily accessible alternative that integrates seamlessly with ERPNext—which is exactly what this app aims to provide.
Current Progress
App structure is set up
Initial DocTypes for customs declarations and workflows
Exploring integration with stock & invoicing
Where I’d Appreciate Guidance
While I’m actively developing this, I’m still relatively new to Frappe and want to ensure I build it the right way. Specifically, I’d appreciate guidance on:
Best practices for designing customs workflows and DocTypes
Handling role-based permissions effectively
Efficiently linking with ERPNext’s stock and invoicing modules
Any insights from those experienced in similar integrations
This app will be a valuable addition to the ERPNext ecosystem, and I want to make sure it is built properly. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions as I continue development.
Looking forward to engaging with the community and making this a solid solution!
