## What it is
ERPNext is a free and open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application built on the Frappe Framework, covering accounting, inventory, manufacturing, CRM, HR & payroll, projects, assets, and point of sale. It is a full-stack web application (Python backend, Vue-based UI) that businesses self-host or run on Frappe Cloud.

## Use cases
- manage business accounting and financial reports
- track inventory and manage sales orders and suppliers
- run manufacturing production planning and bill of materials
- handle HR, payroll, and employee records
- manage customer relationships and support tickets
- run a point-of-sale system for retail
- track projects, tasks, and timesheets
- manage company assets from purchase to disposal

## When to choose
- you want a comprehensive open-source ERP without per-user licensing fees
- you need accounting, inventory, HR, and CRM in one integrated system
- you want to self-host business software and customize it
- you run manufacturing, retail, distribution, or services and need order-to-cash workflows

## When to avoid
- you need only a single lightweight tool like standalone invoicing or bookkeeping
- you cannot operate or pay for hosting and implementation of a full ERP
- you require deep customization without learning the Frappe Framework
- you need an offline desktop-first application
