Im exploring using erpnext to replace a custom made (c#, wpf Windows app, and limited vue frontend against essentially a rest exposed backend that stores things in a db). Im wondering now, what is the best approach to get started here. Are there starter templates that would help me get this going without having to model everything from start?
Things they have that are not really standard Erp features, i think:
- deep structure for projects: projects (which start as quote requests) that consist of blocks and houses (could be an apartment or house that is part of a block), houses have rooms, rooms have a list of tiles, quantity, rounding, but also work items. Most projects also have a concept of house types where they can create a template for A House, then adjust it later on the house level if needed.
- relations/customers at multiple levels, the project is usually from 1 or 2 companies that outsource the project. Later in the project the houses might actually het individual customers attached for extras
- planning/agenda for showroom
- per employee/team per day or part of the day assignment to a project (future planning, but also used for Historical time tracking ) this has a tie in with hrm, and currently has a huge per day view that shows per day, per employee what they are on for 4 weeks Ahead
- global planning for a project
- repair planning (separate team which requires tracking, reporting, proof(photo))
- order system where you can order a project or part of the project and track it (is it still in back order, reserves stock? Already on location, with planning overview to make sure it arrives on time, some deliveries take months)
Now there are lots of other things, and im not looking per se for help on any individual point but i would like to see if there is like a starter i can work from that at least covers some ground, modeling everything from scratch probably would be more costly than maintaining the old system. Ive looked through the docs, which are Great but didnt find snyging like Cookbooks or guides for this. Anyone a suggestion?
