What it is
ERPNext is an open-source enterprise resource planning system for businesses managing work across multiple functions. Its modules cover accounts, invoicing, sales, procurement, stock, manufacturing, projects, point of sale, HR, and payroll. A low-code and no-code builder can be used to customize forms, reports, print formats, dashboards, and workflows. For organizations with multiple entities or locations, ERPNext supports subsidiaries, branches, and currencies, with consolidated reports and configurable tax compliance. Records can be read, created, updated, or deleted through REST API endpoints where permissions allow. Deployment options include self-hosting and Frappe Cloud. Self-hosted ERPNext has no product charge and uses the AGPL-3.0 license; Frappe Cloud Sites are listed at $5 a month. Application controls include OTP or two-factor authentication, IP restrictions, field-level permissions, and an audit trail. Frappe says its quality and information security systems are ISO certified, and Frappe Cloud is GDPR compliant. Product Warranty includes engineer help with bug fixes, but not functional support.
