What are /r/ERP's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Product part number.

For example

FRAM car filter

This particular product called FRAM has a part # of PH7317.

FRAM product catalog ( competitor comparison section)

You can see all the different part numbers that this 1 product can replace.

So ideally I would want an inventory management system within an ERP module where if I search for any of the competitor brand part number or the specific Fram filter part number, it filters through and displays a result.

Hi, i found this article interesting on linkedIN and relevant i think to your discussion: Does your business really need a new software system? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/does-your-business-really-need-new-software-system-sam-daynes

https://erpnext.com/ Open Source. And also you build apps that can customize on top of already built in Modules. Company where I work had been using this for 6 years and they are happy.

As a developer, I am happy as well because I can implement and code custom modules or edit existing ones very easy.

I think that your thoughts are helpful for our community.

1. For end-users, using ERPNext.com or using other providers is the best bet to avoid ten minutes of installation and hours of configuration. For installation, you may be right, because we've created templates with our service providers. We can easily create new instances. But this installation is a developer thing, end-users should avoid it. Real configuration starts after the installation. Because it depends on customers' business flow.

   1. I don't get this backup thing. It generates a backup file, it's one click away on each screen and you can easily restore them. What is your struggle here?
   2. How should ERP systems handle files? PS: ERPNext doesn't hash file names and you can integrate Nextcloud, etc.
   3. Hmmm. Did you try to create a new entry in the "Custom Field" doctype instead of Customize Form screen? That may solve your issue. I think your problem relies on "bench migrate". If you don't issue migrate command but just restore it, you should not lose your new fields.
      PS: We usually don't charge for all your money. Just x2 of it. But annually :)

There is the Syteline User Network (SUN) group on LinkedIn.

Not sure if you have be paying member of SUN to get accepted or not. Very good resource.

What you are looking for is called configure to order business process. Configure To Order (CTO) can be achieved in different ways 1. Creating a new configuration from a model every time a order/lead is created. 2. Using some standard configuration and creating a new one before quote/sales 3. Using a hybrid model.

Most of the ERP systems (Oracle, SAP) have these basics features but if your budget is low then you can look for open source ERPs such as inoerp!

I work with an ERP called Deltek. $200 won't cover a single hour of support on it. My standard billing rate is more than $200/hour.

There is a system called OpenERP which has apparently rebranded: https://www.odoo.com/blog/odoo-news-5/post/odoo-the-new-openerp-156

Caution: many ERP systems are just licenses for the developers to charge you for customization.

I'm a huge fan of ERPNext. 100% open source (i.e.: no paywall-locked features), aggressive development schedule, large consultant community, fully featured, easy to customize with and without coding, etc. (I have no skin in the game, I just use it for my side projects.)

There’s a fully open source (ie: no premium features locked behind a paywall) called ERPNext. It has a large active contributor base, runs using a contemporary server architecture (Python, MySQL, git, Docker optionally). It’s fully featured including manufacturing (BoM, inventory, sales quotes, orders, invoices) as well as all kinds of other back office management - AP, AR, HR, user management, messaging in app, takes, projects, schedules. It’s fairly customizable without coding. The ERPNext project managers offer a hosted product, but you can self-host. There’s also a lot of consultants out there. Your ops guy can probably handle it.

For what it’s worth I don’t have any ties to the project. I just use it for side projects, and I think it’s a really great piece of software.

ERPNextis a fully open source (ie: no premium paid features) ERP with a huge development community. The company sells managed services, but if you have a decent IT team they can easily configure, customize, and run it. There’s also a healthy community of consultants available.

(I have nothing to do with the project other than I use it for side-projects.)

You can try erpnext.com. It's open source, easier to customize. If you want even simpler solution, you can use their frappe framework to implement a full featured solution in a week or two.

ERPNext is a completely open sourced, full feature ERP system that doesn’t lock any functionality behind a premium pricing model. It’s a good system to install and mess around with and play with the flows (for example: create a product, create a customer, sales quote, order, invoice, ship it, etc).

Reason #496 to love ERPNext:

https://erpnext.com/docs/user/manual/en/customize-erpnext/articles/set-language

I'm not in front of it at the moment so I can't say for sure what languages it supports out of the box. But the fact that you can set the language per-user is pretty nifty.

Take a look at the opensource project ERPNext. It's no-strings-attached opensourced (i.e.: no premium paid features), very active development community, and includes a CRM module. Plus out of the box it has a lot of the basic crud that is a chore to build, like user/role administration, auditing, reports, security, UI, notifications, integration with email, etc..

ERPNext actually has a layer of abstraction on top of the DB (canned Doctypes) which is kind of like a data template that defines fields, their types, how they're displayed, permissions, etc. It already contains Doctypes for non-profits, which you can alter to suit your needs.

We use their cloud hosting solution.

For a first time user, I would recommend downloading their pre-installed virtual box image and once you become familiar with ERPNext and have an implementation plan, start hosting with them.
