Benefits of Centralized System
Financial Management
At the core of ERP are the financial modules,
including general ledger, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, billing and fixed asset
management. If your organization is considering the
move to an ERP system to support expansion into
global markets, make sure that multiple currencies
and languages are supported, as well as regulatory
compliance in the U.S. and in foreign countries.
Other functionality in the financial management
modules will include budgets, cash-flow, expense
and tax reporting. The evaluation team should focus
on areas that are most important to support the
strategic plans for yourorganization.
Manufacturing Operations
Manufacturing modules make manufacturing operations
more efficient through product configuration, job costing
and bill of materials management. ERP manufacturing
modules often include Capacity Requirements Planning,
Materials Requirements Planning, forecasting, Master
Production Scheduling, work-order management and shop-
floor control
Integration
Key to the value of an ERP package is the integration
between modules, so that all of the core business functions
are connected. Information should flow across the
organization so that BI reports on organization-wide results.
