ERP NOTES
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a term usually used in conjunction with ERP software or an ERP system which is intended to manage all the information and functions of a business or company from shared data stores.[1] It is a commercial software package that promotes seamless integration of all the information flowing through a company.
An ERP system typically has modular hardware and software units and "services" that communicate on a local area network. The modular design allows a business to add or reconfigure modules (perhaps from different vendors) while preserving data integrity in one shared database that may be centralized or distributed.
Ideally, ERP delivers a single database that contains all data for the various software modules that typically address areas such as:
Manufacturing
Engineering, bills of material, scheduling, capacity, workflow management, quality control, cost management, manufacturing process, manufacturing projects, manufacturing flow
Supply chain management
Order to cash, inventory, order entry, purchasing, product configurator, supply chain planning, supplier scheduling, inspection of goods, claim processing, commission calculation
Financials
General ledger, cash management, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets
Project management
Costing, billing, time and expense, performance units, activity management
Human resources
Human resources, payroll, training, time and attendance, rostering, benefits
Customer relationship management
Sales and marketing, commissions, service, customer contact and call center support
Data services
various "self-service" interfaces for customers, suppliers, and/or employees
Access control
management of user privileges for various processes
