# Project foundations Explore repositories by project goal or target platform. Compare business applications, app foundations, game engines and supporting libraries before choosing your starting point. Page 1 of 1 ## ERPNext Business application An integrated ERP spanning sales, purchasing, stock, accounting and manufacturing. ### Why we recommend it We recommend it when several business areas must share records and processes, including customer portals or service operations. ### When to choose it - Connected ERP, order-to-invoice processes and customer self-service. ### What to consider - The broad scope raises migration and operating effort; check local accounting requirements and upstream compatibility. ### Start with this project Validate one end-to-end business process using real sample data and explicit acceptance criteria.

App compatibility, storage operations and permissions must be tested for your deployment. - Use an official release package for deployment instead of the development branch. ### Start with this project Create one customer workspace and test invitation, sharing, revocation and access isolation with real roles.

Company-level and individual permissions need explicit tests before external users receive access. - Advanced reporting and workflow automation are separate extensions. ### Start with this project Model a customer company, two contacts and a case, then verify who can see each record through the portal.

Review the current release, upload handling and access isolation before exposing a deployment. ### Start with this project Test a file handover to two separate clients, including access removal and the required download history.

Plan the Next.js/NestJS deployment, API adapters, identity mapping and backend permissions explicitly. ### Start with this project Connect one real backend and verify login, customer-specific data and failure handling before adding more services.
