📌 Documentation Under Development
Dear Users!
Since OmniCraft ERP is currently in an active beta stage, with regular updates and expansions, the reference materials are also being updated gradually.
At this time, please treat the documentation as a guide—it is currently incomplete, may temporarily lack descriptions for certain features, or contain minor inaccuracies.
🗂️ Workspaces Overview
The architecture of OmniCraft ERP is built entirely on the concept of isolated workspaces. It is rare for an artisan, entrepreneur, or individual to limit themselves to a single focus. Trying to fit diverse activities into a single ledger inevitably leads to accounting distortions, inventory chaos, and analytical confusion.
Mixing everything into one pile ruins the economics of each individual project. In OmniCraft ERP, you can create independent workspaces for every distinct task, switching between them instantly via the sliding side drawer (Drawer).
🏗️ Workspace Templates & Practical Examples
You can select the template that best matches your specific activity:
🔨 1. Production (Already Implemented)
This space is designed for classic artisanal or manufacturing cycles where physical raw materials undergo processing and assembly.
- Example: A workshop making custom leather bags and lifestyle accessories.
- How it works: You purchase raw resources (materials warehouse), build spec sheets (recipe constructor), schedule jobs (workbench), transfer finished inventory to the showroom (showcase), and process retail or wholesale transactions.
💼 2. Services (Expected Soon)
A template for business models centered around performing labor, repairs, consulting, or freelance work, where batch production tracking is unnecessary.
- Example: Product restoration, bespoke consulting, custom design work, or freelance services.
- How it works: The primary focus is tracking billable hours and logging client payments. A finished goods warehouse is omitted, since you are selling your skilled labor and expertise rather than pre-made inventory off a shelf.
🛒 3. Trade & Retail (Expected Soon)
Designed for commercial models that exclude a manufacturing phase.
- Example: Reselling third-party supplies, such as specialty tools for crafters, finishes, or hardware.
- How it works: You purchase completed goods wholesale, log them directly into showroom stock, and sell them with a markup. The production queue is removed, streamlining the interface for pure retail operations.
🌐 4. Education & Digital (Expected Soon)
A workspace for distributing digital products where reproduction costs are effectively zero.
- Example: Selling downloadable PDF patterns, templates, video tutorials, or hosting live masterclasses.
- How it works: Physical materials are not deducted upon sales. The tracking focus is oriented around digital content margins and analyzing the conversion efficiency of various marketing channels.
🌱 5. Activities & Hobbies (Expected Soon)
A playground for non-commercial hobbies or projects in their earliest stages.
- Example: Ceramic pottery hobbies, home brewing, or home gardening.
- How it works: You simply record purchases of materials and tools to see how much your passion project realistically costs.
Seamless Transition to Business
If your hobby begins generating revenue, the "Activities & Hobbies" workspace can be converted into a commercial space (such as "Production" or "Services") at any time, fully preserving your historical purchase ledger and recipe database.
🏦 6. Personal (Expected Soon)
A workspace for tracking personal assets, managing major life events, and goal setting.
- Example: Home property, personal vehicle, high-end electronics, as well as significant life events (paying off a mortgage, major appliance purchases, receiving an inheritance, or tuition payments).
- How it works: In this space, you can organize your life: establish major activity directions based on your desires and goals. Goals can be financial (e.g., saving for renovations or paying down a loan) or personal (e.g., completing an educational course or mastering a new skill). You record your major personal property (non-financial assets) and log only significant, one-off inflow/outflow transactions.
- Core Advantage: You no longer need to log minor, everyday expenses (groceries, coffee, fuel)—that micromanagement becomes obsolete. In the global "My Capital" dashboard, the program automatically calculates your background spending based on bank balances. You simply update these balances periodically (e.g., once a month) to observe the dynamics of your net worth.
💡 Scaling: Unlimited Workspaces
You are not restricted to a "one business, one workspace" model. The software allows you to create multiple workspaces of the same type if you run parallel projects.
For example, if you do both leatherworking and woodworking, you can set up two independent Production workspaces (e.g., "Leathergoods" and "Wooden Furniture"). If you also do restoration work and graphic design, you can create separate Services workspaces for them (e.g., "Bespoke Restoration" and "Freelance Design"). This completely separates their unique inventories, markups, and financials.
🏦 Capital Consolidation: The "My Capital" Module (Already Implemented)
Even though each project's financials are kept completely isolated, OmniCraft ERP features a global "My Capital" module in PRO mode (accessed via a dedicated button in the sidebar).
This module consolidates metrics from all your active workspaces and eliminates the need to track minor daily expenses (coffee, groceries, fuel, etc.).
How accounting is structured in the "My Capital" module:
- My Accounts: In this tab, you register your actual bank cards, cash, deposits, or brokerage accounts. You do not need to log individual minor transactions. Instead, you simply visit periodically (e.g., once a week or month) and update the actual current balances.
- My Assets & Major Transactions: Here, the program automatically pulls data from your "Personal" workspace (the value of your vehicle, home property, and major recorded one-off inflows/outflows).
- Automatic Consolidation: The program aggregates your account balances, raw material values on warehouses, showroom finished goods stock, and active equipment values across all your workspaces.
- Calculating Free Expenses (Delta): The program takes the cumulative net profit from your businesses, adds your major personal incomes, subtracts major expenses, and compares this to the actual net growth of your bank accounts. From this delta, the system automatically calculates your background, undocumented spending—grouping everyday micro-expenses and small miscellaneous receipts. This saves you from micromanagement and provides a clear graphical representation of your growing net worth.
