Welcome to ERPNext
ERPNext is the business platform you'll use every day for sales, buying, accounting, stock and reports. It runs your invoices, your books and your customer relationships in one place.
This documentation is written from your perspective — someone running a Dutch business — and walks you through what to click, where to find things and how to handle common situations.
What ERPNext does for you
- Sells — write a quotation, turn it into an order, ship the goods, send the invoice, get paid
- Buys — order from suppliers, receive goods, register their invoice, pay them
- Bookkeeps — every transaction lands in the books automatically; you reconcile the bank
- Reports — month-end for management, BTW returns for the tax office
- Tracks stock — knows what's in your warehouses and what's been sold
What's in this section
Use the sidebar to find what you need:
- Get Started — orientation, navigation, first-time setup
- Selling — new customer to receiving payment
- Buying — new supplier to paying them
- Accounting — your books, bank, BTW
- Stock — items, warehouses, movements
- Settings — company, fiscal year, users
- Localization — Dutch and European features (BTW, RGS, SEPA, KvK, ICP, PEPPOL)
- Integrations — banking feeds, payment providers, reconciliation tools
- Special Modules — optional add-on modules (Service for time tracking and project billing; more coming)
Each business section (Selling, Buying, Accounting, Stock) follows the same shape: Setup for one-time configuration, then your master data (customers / suppliers / items), then Transactions for daily work, with Reports at the end.
Need advanced topics?
This guide focuses on what most Dutch businesses need. For specialised features (manufacturing, projects, fixed assets), see the official ERPNext documentation.
