ERPNext Customization Guide
Implement ERPNext custom workflows safely without compromising upgradability.
ERPNext can be tailored deeply, but customizations should preserve upgrade paths and data integrity.
Prefer configuration first
Use built-in workflows, roles, and form customizations before custom scripts.
Isolate custom logic
Keep custom scripts modular and document assumptions around permissions and data flow.
Validate business rules early
Enforce critical rules at the server boundary to avoid inconsistent state.
Plan for lifecycle management
Track custom changes in version control and run smoke tests before every upgrade.
