Hi,

Here are the general steps to upgrade from ERPNext version 13 to 14:

1. Backup your current ERPNext database and files:

   bench backup
   

   This will create a backup file in the sites/site_name/private/backups directory.

2. Update your ERPNext installation:

   bench update --patch
   

   This will update your ERPNext installation to the latest version of version 13.

3. Switch to the version-14 branch:

   bench switch-to-branch version-14 frappe erpnext --upgrade
   

   This will switch your ERPNext installation to the version-14 branch and upgrade your Frappe and ERPNext apps.

4. Migrate your site to version 14:

   bench --site site_name migrate
   

   This will update your site’s database schema and data to match the requirements of version 14.

5. Reinstall your custom apps:

   bench --site site_name reinstall
   

   This will reinstall any custom apps you have installed.

6. Test your ERPNext installation:Make sure everything is working as expected by testing all the features and workflows of your ERPNext installation.

Hope this will help you out.

Thank you.
