erpclaw-setup

What This Skill Does

The erpclaw-setup skill acts as the foundational administrative powerhouse for the ERPClaw ecosystem. It is responsible for the critical lifecycle management of company entities and the configuration of essential master data. By managing core parameters such as base currencies, fiscal year definitions, regional settings, and foundational units of measure (UoM), it ensures that all subsequent ERPClaw modules—like Accounting, Inventory, and Payroll—have a consistent and reliable data structure to build upon. This skill operates locally, treating data security with the utmost priority by utilizing a self-contained SQLite database.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw hub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/mailnike/erpclaw-setup. Once installed, the skill automatically triggers an initialization sequence. If you encounter any 'no such table' errors, you can manually trigger the database schema creation by executing python3 {baseDir}/scripts/db_query.py --action initialize-database.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for businesses needing a robust, offline-first ERP foundation. Key scenarios include setting up a new legal entity for a subsidiary, configuring corporate localization settings to match regional financial standards, and seeding standardized data tables like global currency codes or common measurement units. It is also the primary utility for managing the system's administrative audit trail, ensuring that every configuration change is logged and attributed, which is vital for compliance and system integrity.

Example Prompts

1. "I need to get my company started in ERPClaw. Can you guide me through the setup wizard for a new organization?"
2. "Please initialize the system with the default set of currencies, units of measure, and payment terms for our new database."
3. "Check the status of our current ERP configuration and confirm that the fiscal year settings are correct for our reporting cycle."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: Remember that this skill emphasizes an immutable audit trail. Actions like GL entries cannot be deleted, only reversed. Plan your entries carefully.
• Storage: By default, data is stored in ~/.openclaw/erpclaw/data.sqlite. Ensure your environment has sufficient disk permissions for this path.
• Offline Nature: This skill is almost entirely offline. If you need to update currency exchange rates, ensure you have configured the fetch-exchange-rates utility, as this is the only outbound network interaction allowed by the skill's design.
