Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ERPNext customization and Frappe development.

Will custom DocTypes break when we upgrade ERPNext?
Not if they're built correctly. Custom DocTypes and Frappe apps are isolated from the core ERPNext codebase. Before any upgrade, we test all custom code in a staging environment and make necessary adjustments. We follow Frappe's upgrade-safe patterns so your customizations remain compatible across versions.
How long does custom Frappe development take?
Simple customizations (custom fields, basic scripts) typically take 1-2 weeks. Medium complexity DocTypes and workflows run 3-6 weeks. Complex Frappe apps with advanced business logic and integrations can take 8-12 weeks. We scope every project during discovery and provide a detailed timeline before development starts.
Can you extend existing ERPNext modules instead of building new ones?
Yes. We can extend and modify existing ERPNext DocTypes using custom fields, server scripts, and client scripts. This is often faster and more maintainable than building from scratch. We'll recommend the right approach based on your requirements — sometimes extending existing modules is the best path, other times a custom DocType is cleaner.
Do we own the custom code you develop?
Yes. All custom DocTypes and Frappe apps we develop for you are your intellectual property. We provide full source code, documentation, and deployment instructions. You're never locked into our services — though most clients stay with us for ongoing support because we know the codebase better than anyone.
Can you maintain custom Frappe apps built by another developer?
Yes. We regularly take over maintenance of custom Frappe apps built by other teams. We'll review the existing code, document it, and provide recommendations for improvements or refactoring if needed. If the code quality is poor, we'll give you options: maintain as-is, refactor, or rebuild.
