A Foundational and Scalable Master Data Management Solution for ERPNext

 

UPH is a mission-critical Frappe application solving Master Data Management (MDM) challenges in ERPNext.
It provides a single source of truth for all business entities (Customers, Suppliers, Employees, Shareholders), enabling multi-role management, consolidated reporting, and zero data duplication.

Built on Frappe (Python, JavaScript, Vue) for extensibility and enterprise readiness.

Standard ERPNext treats Customers, Suppliers, and Employees as separate entities, which causes:

• Data Duplication: A single entity with multiple roles requires separate, unlinked records.
• Consolidation Complexity: Multi-currency consolidated reports are difficult or impossible.
• Lack of Hierarchy: No native mechanism for parent-subsidiary organization.
• Limited Flexibility: Extending party roles to vertical domains (Schools, Healthcare) is cumbersome.

• Single Unified Doctype: Controls creation, fetching, and linking of all related entities.
• Zero Duplication: Minimizes duplicate party records.
• Tree Hierarchy: Multi-level organizational grouping for accurate reporting.

• Multi-Role Party: Enable multiple roles per Party Master.
• Flexible Integration: Works with standard and custom ERPNext party types.
• Easy UI/Migration: Intelligent backend queries and UI simplify linking existing records.

• Multi-Currency Support: Consolidated reporting and balance tracking.
• Centralized Control: Manage relationships, defaults, and configurations in one place.

The Hub module is under development as a flexible rule engine providing:

• Deduplication Enforcement
• Integrity Validation
• Dynamic Data Population
• Custom Rule Services for developers to create specialized workflow rules.
