Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a system that integrates planning, manufacturing, distribution, shipping, and accounting functions into a single system, designed to serve the needs of each different department within the enterprise. ERP is more of a methodology than a piece of software, although it does incorporate several software applications, brought together under a single, integrated interface.

ERP Software

packages are integrated (covering all business functions) software packages that support the ERP concepts.ERP Software is designed to model and automate many of the basic processes of a company, from finance to the shop floor, with the goal of integrating information across the company and eliminating complex, expensive links between computer systems that were never meant to talk to each other.

Advantages

In the absence of an ERP system, a large manufacturer may find itself with many software applications that neither talk to each other nor interface effectively. Tasks that need to interface with one another may involve:

?Integration among different functional areas to ensure proper communication, productivity and efficiency
?Design engineering (how to best make the product)

?Order tracking, from acceptance through fulfillment
?The revenue cycle, from invoice through cash receipt
?Managing inter-dependencies of complex processes bill of materials
?Tracking the three-way match between purchase orders (what was ordered), inventory receipts (what arrived), and costing (what the vendor invoiced)
?The accounting for all of these tasks: tracking the revenue, cost and profit at a granular level.
?ERP Systems centralize the data in one place. This eliminates the problem of synchronizing changes and can reduce the risk of loss of sensitive data by consolidating multiple permissions and security models into a single structure.
Some security features are included within an ERP system to protect against both outsider crime, such as industrial espionage, and insider crime, such as embezzlement. A data-tampering scenario, for example, might involve a disgruntled employee intentionally modifying prices to below-the-breakeven point in order to attempt to interfere with the company's profit or other sabotage. ERP systems typically provide functionality for implementing internal controls to prevent actions of this kind
