Roadmap

Product direction

MRP Codex is being built as a streamlined, modular manufacturing resource planning platform with strong branding controls, fast operational workflows, and a single-container deployment model that is simple to back up and upgrade.

Current status

Completed: Foundation release

Monorepo-style workspace with client, server, and shared
React + Vite + Tailwind frontend shell
Express + TypeScript backend shell
Prisma + SQLite schema foundation with committed initial migration

RBAC permission model and protected routes
Central Company Settings with runtime branding controls
Light and dark mode theme system
Local file attachment storage under /app/data/uploads
Puppeteer PDF service foundation with branded company-profile preview

CRM customer and vendor create/edit/detail workflows
CRM search, filters, and persisted status tagging
SVAR Gantt integration wrapper with demo planning data
Multi-stage Docker packaging and migration-aware entrypoint
Docker image validated locally with successful app startup and login flow
Core project documentation in README.md, INSTRUCTIONS.md, and STRUCTURE.md

Current known gaps in the foundation

Prisma migration execution is committed and documented, but local Windows Node 24 schema-engine behavior remains inconsistent; use Node 22 or Docker for migration execution
The frontend bundle is functional but should be code-split later, especially around the gantt module
CRM contact history, shared attachments, and deeper operational metadata are not built yet

Planned feature phases

Phase 1: CRM and master data hardening

Contact history and internal notes
Shared attachment support on CRM entities
Better seed/bootstrap strategy for non-development environments
Deeper CRM operational fields and lifecycle reporting

Phase 2: Inventory and manufacturing core

Item master and SKU structure
Warehouse and stock location modeling
Inventory transactions and on-hand tracking
Bills of materials and custom assemblies
Project records tied to manufacturing work
File attachments for BOM drawings and manufacturing support docs

Phase 3: Sales and purchasing documents

Quotes, sales orders, and purchase orders
Reusable line-item and totals model
Document states, approvals, and revision history
Branded PDF templates rendered through Puppeteer
Attachments for vendor invoices and supporting documents

Phase 4: Shipping and logistics

Shipment records linked to sales orders
Bills of lading, packing slips, and shipping BOM PDFs
Carrier, package, and tracking data
Outbound shipment status workflow
Scanned logistics-document attachment handling

Phase 5: Manufacturing planning and scheduling

Live project-backed SVAR gantt timelines
Task dependencies, milestones, and progress updates
Manufacturing calendar views and bottleneck visibility
Labor and machine scheduling support
Theme-compliant gantt customization for light/dark mode

Phase 6: Security, audit, and operations maturity

Expanded role management UI
Permission assignment administration
Audit trail coverage across critical records
Backup/restore workflow documentation and scripts
Health checks, startup diagnostics, and production readiness cleanup

Cross-cutting improvements

Stronger validation and error reporting across all APIs
More automated tests for auth, settings, files, PDFs, and workflow modules
Better mobile behavior in module-level pages
Consistent document-template system shared by sales, purchasing, and shipping
Clear upgrade path for future module additions without refactoring the app shell

Near-term priority order

CRM contact history and internal notes
CRM shared attachments and operational metadata
Inventory item and BOM data model
Sales order and quote foundation
Shipping module tied to sales orders
