What to prepare before the first workshop
Having these inputs available supports more accurate scope and risk assessment.
Discuss your requirements- Chart of accounts and fiscal year
- Tax policy and required documents
- Sample sales, purchase and return entries
- Opening balances and AR/AP detail
Questions worth clarifying early
Can stock valuation connect to the general ledger?
ERPNext supports inventory-to-ledger integration with suitable settings. The valuation method and account mapping must match company policy.
Configuring ERPNext accounting around document flows
Begin with Company, Chart of Accounts, fiscal years and tax templates. Map how purchasing, sales, receipts and payments reference their source documents. Shared agreement between sales, procurement and finance helps prevent duplicate invoices or incorrectly allocated payments.
For Thai operations, validate VAT-inclusive and exclusive pricing, input and output VAT and withholding tax where applicable. Test returns, credit notes and cancellations without losing the audit trail in the General Ledger.
Before go-live, reconcile end-to-end transactions against the Trial Balance, AR/AP ageing, bank reconciliation and tax reports. Correct rules and source documents rather than writing scripts that only change displayed report totals.
