Hi Knight,
We too are a small co which has moved from tally to erpnext six months ago. The staff which were using tally have moved over to erpnext very easily. They are able to handle all the transactions with ease and it did not take much time for them to learn - they were set in a weeks time. I would not compare tally with erpnext as they are basically two different products. Tally is basically for accounts with average stock handling capabilities. ERP is basically to manage all the resources of the company. Apart from the cost erpnext is way ahead of tally in many ways and as you use it you would come across some features which would give you ideas to improve you business. We are very happy with the product and would suggest you seriously give it a shot. Apart from that they have a fantastic support team which will address your concerns promptly.

Regards,
Mehul.

  Hi,<br>

When I update erpnext with "sudo lib/wnf.py --update origin master"
in /var/www/erpnext, I got this error on login page.

I use Virtualbox images of erpnext.

  Hi,<br>

More than half of ERPNext user base has worked on Tally. Here is a write up
introducing ERPNext to such users.

  Hi Knight,<br>

To tell you the real thing, we have just dumped Tally fully from our
company for erpnext and barring a few small things, which would be
implemented in the near future, this erpnext system is way better than
Tally or BUSY.

To point out a few of the amazing things of erpnext which we love:

1. You can assign any thing to a user and set is a TODO thing (not possible
in both)
2. Manage your accounts from any where in the world if you setup in a
internet based environment (not possible in both)
3. Add unlimited number of custom fields easily (though you need to learn
some part, but in Tally you need special TDL for which you need to call a
developer even for a small addition)
4. Add conditions to fields like make them mandatory (others don't support
it or support it through specialized customisations)
5. No software needed for installation (you just need a browser Chrome or
Mozilla freely available)
6. Can be used on linux or Mac or windows or even note books, I am actually
using this on ipad as well (not possible in both)
7. Work on multiple windows which in not possible in tally or busy
8. Make your own reports (you might need to learn a bit of mysql or
javascript for that but they are easy to make)
9. And there are many other things which I can go on and on

To cut the story short, I am one of their customer only and not making a
sales pitch but honestly have never seen such a product. But I should also
tell you some negatives of erpnext which are there since no product in the
world is perfect:

1. Since the product is open source and the updates are pushed regularly
almost everyday hence there are times when you would encounter bugs, which
I should admit have become much less than what they used to be during
updates.

2. The accounting module is still not as strong as Tally but even then I
see that this product is way better than tally or busy.

I can't really think of other negatives since the quality to price ratio of
this product is one of the highest in the world and I am in no way
exaggerating this fact.

So I personally think that if the company has the will to transfer they
should transfer to erpnext and they would not regret their decision.

Now I have used both the softwares

  Hi Umair,<br>

When I try to make new PO, tax calculation is right now. I think, when
entering new PO, if I change tax rate, it does not effect to calculation.
But this is ok now, because I determined tax already, after now I do not
have any difficulties.

Thanks for you response

Ali

Wale,

Just checked. Sorry home page should be a non-mandatory field. If you make it blank, it defaults to login. Updated in edge branch - will be released sometime in main branch soon.

best,
Rushabh

  Well said Aditya. In fact, I know a few businesses that would jump on the ERPNext train for this feature alone!<br>


Kind regards,

Hi Rushabh,

I think I would be also one of those who would be looking to get the webshop. I know, that I am guilty of the charge that I have not worked on my website but as you are aware my organization's more pressing need is a new item coding system.

I am almost through with that and I am sure after this the next thing on my mind is the website to be up and running with erpnext and hence you can very well be assured that the 5 websites that you were looking for are almost there.

I fully agree with Olawale that people like me would take other matters as more pressing since we already have a website, no matter how pathetic the existing website is and no matter how much more duplicate work is to be done on existing website.I think the web shop would indeed increase the interest for more people since then the website would truly become a tool to reach out to customers rather than just a piece of information.
