Hi all,
I’m looking at setting up systems for a medium-ish chaptered tech nonprofit in ERPNext and wondering if there’s recommendation on which version to use if we’re starting from scratch? We’re centralizing after operating in a mostly federated style for a while, so the appeal of open-source and the price of ERPNext is why I’m here for context.
I know v15 has some apps that are not yet on v16 that would be helpful for us such as the Learning module, but perhaps this is something that will eventually move to v16 and we should start there?
Additionally, if anyone has advice or tips on customizing the systems for nonprofit purposes (the nonprofit module is archived on GitHub & unmaintained):
- Specifically curious about fund accounting. I saw a few posts about using accounting dimensions for that, but nothing for chapters. Would cost centers be an appropriate alternative for chapters?
- Wondering if customizing / renaming around the existing modules is more recommended or creating custom DocType and linking them into the modules instead. For example, we have volunteers, but not employees and track leads, but not for sales as the CRM is built to do.
- Any best practices for using ERPNext in general that maybe isn’t covered or out of date from the docs.
Thank you everyone!
