Well first of all let me congratulate the whole of the technical team associated with this project since ERPNEXT is coming out to be a good product till now. Though it is far from perfect to challenge the likes of SAP and others, I feel it would soon be there.
I have been doing some searching on the old projects that were there in the ERP and I came across a very special form “Work Flow Rules”. I don’t know what it was intended for but it created an idea in my mind which could probably replace the need for custom script. Basically we already have the Amount Based Authorization Rule so I think we could use this as a replacement for Custom Scripts.
Basically this form can be used to create rules for Automatic checking for various rules, like some rules that I can think of in my organisation, but are not there in the ERP since I am not good at writing scripts and they are not supposed to be part of the stock product, are:
Rules for Invoice: If the Other Charges = CST2+ED then the Series = RB1112 or
Rule for Invoice: If other charges = CST2+ED then C-Form Required = YES
Like this there are so many rules which I think can be implemented by users at their own end and hence get the work done in a more efficient manner without worrying for errors.
I know though this thing would not remove the need for custom scripts but would definitely reduce the requirement of custom scripts and would also give the users the much needed customisation power.
I would like to know you people as techies on the feasibility of such a thing.
