SBK Reston ERPNext Project Management Module Implementation & Customization — Case Study 5

01

The Challenge

SBK Reston needed a practical Project Management System to improve internal efficiency, follow-up, workflow control, and task monitoring.

During implementation, the client raised concerns around project creation permissions, project manager visibility, system manager access, branch-based restrictions, task approval flow, commission percentage visibility, and dashboard reporting. A key challenge was that when an employee or project manager created a project, the visibility and approval behavior did not fully match the client’s organizational workflow.

Key challenges included:

  • Standard ERPNext Project module did not fully match SBK Reston’s internal workflow.
  • Project creation and approval permissions required custom handling.
  • Project managers needed controlled visibility based on their role and branch.
  • System Manager access and project visibility needed to be refined.
  • Commission percentage visibility had to be restricted.
  • Financial dashboard reporting needed improvement.
  • Client concerns remained around final usability and unresolved permission logic.
