Short answer: TABSYST is an official ERPNext (Frappe) implementation partner. We implement ERPNext for Malaysian businesses end to end, with LHDN MyInvois e-invoicing submitted through the API, SST tax codes set up correctly, and no per-user licence fees. We deliver remotely from our team in Calicut, India, which is two and a half hours behind Malaysia, and we have no office in Malaysia.
Most Malaysian businesses that call an ERP partner are in one of two positions. Either an accounting package such as AutoCount or SQL Account no longer fits how the business operates, or e-invoicing has exposed how scattered the data is. ERPNext is built for the step after that: one system for accounting, stock, manufacturing, sales and purchasing, with e-invoicing running from the same records.
| Annual turnover | Mandatory from |
|---|---|
| Above RM100 million | 1 August 2024 |
| RM25 million to RM100 million | 1 January 2025 |
| RM5 million to RM25 million | 1 July 2025 |
| RM1 million to RM5 million | 1 January 2026, with a penalty-free relaxation period to 31 December 2027 |
| Below RM1 million | Exempt under current rules |
Every e-invoice goes to MyInvois as structured data in UBL 2.1, in XML or JSON. LHDN validates it, returns a unique identifier and a QR code, and the supplier can cancel a validated invoice within 72 hours. Unlike the Gulf mandates, Malaysia lets your ERP submit directly to MyInvois through LHDN's API, so the integration is between ERPNext and LHDN rather than through an intermediary.
The RM1 million exemption came from a Cabinet decision in December 2025, and in April 2026 LHDN extended the relaxation period for the RM1 million to RM5 million group to 31 December 2027. Dates have moved several times, so we check LHDN's current guidance at the start of every project.
ERPNext is a strong fit when you run more than one company, hold stock in several places, manufacture, or have many staff outside finance who need access. With no per-user licence, adding warehouse, sales or production users does not add licence cost. It is a weaker fit for a small business whose needs are mainly accounting, where a local package is simpler. Our Malaysia ERP buyer's guide compares AutoCount, SQL Account, SAP Business One, Business Central, NetSuite, Odoo and ERPNext side by side.
Odoo is a capable suite with a MyInvois module from Odoo 17 onwards. The practical difference is the commercial model: Odoo Enterprise charges per user per month, and multi-company, Studio and external API access sit on its higher plan. ERPNext has no licence fee and includes those features. Model both over five years at your expected headcount. Our ERPNext vs Odoo comparison covers the details, and what ERPNext really costs explains hosting and implementation.
Projects run remotely with a named delivery lead, fixed scope and a written configuration record, so the knowledge stays with you. Malaysia is two and a half hours ahead of India, so our team shares most of your working day for workshops, testing and go-live support. We do not have a Malaysian office, and we would rather tell you that now than surprise you later. Read how we run international implementations.
Yes, through the open-source MyInvois app from ERPGulf. It submits and validates invoices through the LHDN API, manages digital certificates and signing, attaches QR codes, and supports self-billed invoices, credit and debit notes and consolidated submissions on ERPNext 15 and 16.
Yes if your annual turnover is above RM1 million. Businesses between RM1 million and RM5 million became subject to it on 1 January 2026, with a penalty-free relaxation period until 31 December 2027. Businesses below RM1 million are exempt under current rules.
Yes. We set up sales tax at 5% or 10% and service tax at 8% or 6% as line-level tax codes, including exemptions and the service categories added on 1 July 2025. The same codes feed your MyInvois e-invoices, so tax and e-invoicing stay consistent.
Yes. We move customers, suppliers, items, the chart of accounts and opening balances into ERPNext and reconcile them before go-live. Historical transactions are usually summarised into opening balances rather than copied line by line.
No. We deliver Malaysian projects remotely from our team in Calicut, India, two and a half hours behind Malaysia, with our Gulf office in Dubai. Implementation, e-invoicing setup, migration, training and support are all delivered by the same team.
ERPNext has no per-user licence fees. You pay for hosting, which starts from USD 5 a month on Frappe Cloud, and for a one-time implementation that depends on your modules, companies, data and integrations. We quote a fixed price after a scoping call.
