Because ERPas a management concept is actualized, it is the large-scale integrated type package software which was developed in order to construct the information system which includes the principal business (financial affairs managerial accounting, personal affairs, production, supply, stock and sale etc.) of enterprise. Even the integrated business package you say.
Around 1980, the system because the management concept of ERP is actualizedwas constructedon the general-purpose machine, also the first ERP package had designated the general-purpose machine as the target platform. Eventually, receiving the flow of down sizing conversion from the eighties latter half, the ERP package which to the nineties beginning operates with the client/server system has been born.
The ERP system in one database (great fortune register type database) manages everything of the basic business which is done at enterprise different from the information system of business and the section unit,monistically in the occurrence base(), business the whole mainstay is managed integrated or with the design which cooperates between the individual system of accounting sale and the like. Especially, the individual processing in business such as incoming order sale production, immediately is reflected at input point in time, as accounting information it has become major feature to be able refer to. By one voucher processing (transaction), information of all sections is modified at one time, by the fact that it keeps tracing the details of the contents (drill down), to the respective transaction (voucher) one one of business information it is possible the accounting information where those are summarized, to tie. As business efficiency rises, actualization and real timeof speedyfinancial accounting and managerial accounting timely decision making of the manager with the grasp of business contents actualizes.
As for introduction purpose of the ERP package, other than the actualization of ERP as a management concept, early of the system by the application of the business package there is also introduction, cost reduction and the taking in etc. of business know-how of advanced enterprise.
However, the ERP package is the general-purpose software which supposes the even user, in introducing that way generally other companies and discriminating converting, being difficult to become the source of competitiveness, above industry average competitiveness increasing note is necessary even in not being connected.
Because specific circumstance every of enterprise, it corresponds to quality, there is many a thing where customization is done, but when many customization is added to originally function of the ERP package too much, construction cost becomes enormous, there are times when it opposes to early introduction and the cost reduction which are that quality.
To combine module unrestrictedly with the interface which was standardized between each module (software part), it is possible the ERP package of recent years. It is general for interface for connecting with the external system to be prepared. In regard to customization, the kind of device which it can correspond to various needs with such as parameter and setting of the table is done. In addition, various templets because it corresponds to the industry type and business large number is also a product which is prepared.
The ERP package product there is no big difference with all the business functions, the sea urchin it is visible, but there is a feature and restriction in concrete function depending upon background, industry and the enterprise scale and the like which are made proud differ.
ERP concept, assumes thathistoricallyit developed from MRP, but when you look at the individual product, the just product of production control type, on the other hand in US the product which develops from the accounting system is main current.
