What is Preventive Maintenance & CMMS for ERPNext?

A full computerized maintenance management system built natively inside ERPNext — asset registry, time- and usage-based preventive schedules, corrective work orders, spare-parts consumption, and MTBF/MTTR analytics. ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs, and supports it for you. Built to order by ECOSIRE for ERPNext v15, v16 — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

Dedicated Frappe app (`preventive_maintenance` module) with versioned DocTypes, migrated via `bench migrate` — not throwaway customizations on core
Equipment/asset registry with parent-child hierarchy, criticality rating, warranty and location tracking, linked to the standard ERPNext `Asset` where wanted
Meter Reading child tables (hours, cycles, kilometres, throughput) with per-equipment meter definitions and last-reading rollups
Time-based preventive schedules (daily/weekly/monthly/custom RRULE cadence) that auto-generate the next Maintenance Work Order
Usage-based schedules that trigger a job when a meter crosses a threshold (e.g. every 500 running hours), evaluated by a nightly `scheduler_events` cron
Corrective and breakdown work orders with fault codes, downtime start/stop capture, and priority-based SLA due dates
Spare-parts BOM per maintenance task linked to ERPNext `Item`; consumption posts a real `Stock Entry` (Material Issue) so inventory and valuation stay correct
Auto `Material Request` when a required spare is below reorder level, keeping the store and the job in sync
Technician assignment, ToDo/notification fan-out, and mobile-friendly checklist client scripts with pass/fail steps and photo attachment
`hooks.py` doc events enforce the rules: `on_submit` issues parts and stamps downtime, `validate` blocks closing a job with an incomplete safety checklist
Whitelisted REST methods (`@frappe.whitelist()`) so field/mobile apps can submit meter readings, checklist results, and photos securely
Role profiles and permission rules for Maintenance Manager, Technician, and Store Keeper with row-level scoping
MTBF, MTTR, schedule-compliance, planned-vs-unplanned, and spare-cost-per-asset query reports plus dashboard charts, all live off the same DocTypes
Targets Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16; delivered as a git repo with fixtures for meter types, fault codes, and checklist templates

About this Product

Most maintenance teams end up running their equipment on a whiteboard, a spreadsheet, and a chat group — while the assets, purchase orders, and spare-parts stock they depend on already live in ERPNext. Stock-out Item shortages stall a repair, breakdowns get logged nowhere, and nobody can answer the two questions a plant manager actually cares about: how often does this machine fail, and how long does it take to get it running again. ERPNext ships an Asset DocType and a basic Asset Maintenance schedule, but it stops well short of a real CMMS — there is no meter-driven triggering, no spare-parts BOM per job, no technician mobile checklist, and no MTBF/MTTR analytics. That is exactly the gap this build fills.

ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe app — a versioned preventive_maintenance module with its own DocTypes rather than a pile of customizations bolted onto core. The core objects are an Equipment (asset) registry with parent/child hierarchy and Meter Reading child tables, a Maintenance Plan that spawns jobs on either a calendar cadence or a usage threshold (e.g. every 500 operating hours), a Maintenance Work Order for both preventive and corrective/breakdown jobs, and a Spare Part Consumption table that links to standard ERPNext Item and Stock Entry so every part used is a real inventory movement. Scheduling is driven by Frappe scheduler_events (a nightly cron that reads meters and calendar due-dates and auto-creates the next work order), and business rules are enforced in hooks.py doc events — on_submit of a work order posts the material issue, validate blocks closing a job with an open safety checklist. Technicians work from mobile-friendly checklist client scripts and, where wanted, a whitelisted REST endpoint (@frappe.whitelist()) so field apps can submit readings and photos. Access is governed by ERPNext role profiles (Maintenance Manager, Technician, Store Keeper) with row-level permission rules, and the whole thing targets Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16.

On top of the transactional layer we build the reporting that justifies the system: query reports and dashboard charts for MTBF, MTTR, planned-vs-unplanned ratio, schedule compliance, and spare-parts cost per asset, all reading from the same DocTypes so the numbers are always live. Because everything is native ERPNext, a breakdown that consumes three bearings shows up in stock valuation, a maintenance job can raise a Material Request when a part is below reorder level, and asset downtime is available to the same reporting stack your finance and production teams already use — no external CMMS to reconcile.

This is a build-to-order product, not an instant download. You request a quotation, we run a short scoping call to confirm your asset hierarchy, meter types, checklist content, and role model, and we hand back a fixed scope and timeline. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. We develop against your v15/v16 target, validate on a staging bench, run UAT with your maintenance lead, then install to production with a rollback plan and hand over the git repository. You own the source for your version.

What you get

  • Installable source code of your version as a proper Frappe app (git repo), yours to keep
  • Installation and configuration on your ERPNext v15/v16 site, including role profiles, fixtures, and scheduler wiring
  • Technical documentation: DocType model, hooks/doc-events, scheduler jobs, and whitelisted API reference
  • End-user guide plus a live training session for maintenance managers, technicians, and store keepers
  • UAT on a staging bench with sign-off, plus a documented rollback plan before production cut-over
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration tuning
  • Git repository handover with commit history, branch, and release tag for your version
  • Seed data / fixtures for meter types, fault codes, and reusable checklist templates

Who this is for

Maintenance Manager

Wants a real CMMS — preventive scheduling, breakdown tracking, and MTBF/MTTR reporting — without buying and integrating a separate platform. Needs the maintenance data to live next to the assets and stock already in ERPNext.

Plant / Operations Manager

Cares about uptime and cost. Needs live planned-vs-unplanned ratios, schedule compliance, and spare-parts spend per asset in the same reporting stack production and finance already use.

Store Keeper / Inventory Controller

Needs every spare consumed on a job to post a real stock movement and to be warned when a required part is below reorder level, so maintenance never quietly drains inventory off the books.

ERPNext Administrator

Wants the capability delivered as a versioned Frappe app with clean DocTypes, fixtures, and hooks that survive `bench migrate` and upgrades — not fragile core customizations that break on the next release.

Frequently Asked Questions about Preventive Maintenance & CMMS

Is this a ready-made app I can download and install today?

No. This is build-to-order. ECOSIRE develops it as a Frappe app against your v15/v16 target, tailored to your asset hierarchy, meter types, checklists, and roles. You request a quotation and we scope it before any build begins — there is no instant marketplace download.

How long does delivery take?

Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. The clock starts once we have run the scoping call and agreed the DocType model, schedules, checklist content, and role map in writing. Larger or highly integrated builds are quoted with their own timeline.

Do you support and update it after go-live?

Yes. Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration tuning, and we hand over the git repository so you own the source. Ongoing maintenance, v15→v16 upgrade compatibility, and new feature work are available under a separate support arrangement.

Which ERPNext versions does it target?

Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16. We build against your specific site version, validate on a staging bench, and confirm the app migrates cleanly with `bench migrate` before production cut-over.

How does it fit with ERPNext's built-in Asset and stock?

It is native ERPNext, not a bolt-on. Spare-parts consumption posts real `Stock Entry` movements against standard `Item` records, jobs can raise `Material Request` on low stock, and the equipment registry links to the core `Asset` where you want it — so maintenance data flows into the same inventory, valuation, and reporting your other teams already use.

Can technicians log jobs and readings from the field?

Yes. We deliver mobile-friendly checklist client scripts and whitelisted REST methods (`@frappe.whitelist()`) so field or mobile apps can submit meter readings, checklist results, and photos securely, without giving technicians full desk access.

What if the delivered version has issues after install?

We install to production only after UAT sign-off on staging, and every cut-over ships with a documented rollback plan. Defects found during the post-go-live support window are fixed at no extra cost, and the git handover means any team can pick up the codebase later.
