Industry Analysis: in 2009 foreign trade value of the three ERP applications
Second half of 2009 with the improvement in the external economic situation many foreign trade enterprises to accelerate the pace of information management. I have strong feelings on this is difficult to receive foreign trade enterprises in the first half of the ERP project. From the second half of foreign trade orders up more gradually. However, compared with previous years, foreign trade sector in terms of selection or in the implementation of the project, the focus of great changes have taken place. Specifically, foreign trade in 2009 is focused primarily on the following three ERP applications.
Using a more cautious, strict cost control system
For the majority of foreign trade enterprises in 2009 is a more difficult year. Economic crisis the appreciation, energy prices and other factors, in that several of the oppression of the mountains so that they have struggled to live with feeling. For the ERP systems, the greatest impact than energy and other raw material prices continue to rise due to the continuous adjustment of market price. Foreign trade enterprises in the procurement of finished product, it was perhaps a month a price, or even one day a price. Fluctuations in market prices of raw materials reduction in orders from outside which directly led to greater emphasis on foreign trade purchasing cost control. I give foreign industrial customers in the implementation of ERP projects when there is a very large expression.
If I assembly in October to a foreign trade enterprise had an ERP implementation project. Before the ERP project in the enterprise using the FIFO cost of statistical methods according to the author's understanding of the cost of most of the enterprises in order to simplify the accounting, using essentially the cost of statistical methods. But this year, a special severe fluctuations in raw material prices, the cost of using statistical methods that do not seem particularly cautious and strict. To this end in communication with the customer, they have explicit requirements for adoption of mobile-weighted inventory costs statistical methods. True cost accounting from a financial point of view moving the weighted cost of more stringent and cautious. Fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly in larger cases, can be the most accurate response to years of inventory costs. This is the product of foreign trade salesman, etc., offer great guiding significance. As businesses around the costing methods used by inconsistencies need to increase the number of additional workload, such as the costs related to adjustments and so on. But the company's determination is very firm, be sure to use the weighted cost method to account for mobile business inventory costs. In this case, the author prior to the implementation of the project in time to the customer experience is relatively small. In most cases have the same original costing?
From this you can see, with raw materials, the gradual increase in the volatility of market prices, foreign trade, industry, customers are paying attention to product cost management and control. This may lead to a new round of Xion ERP market. This is mainly because a lot of bias in the foreign-based ERP system, they tend to ignore the cost management and control. That foreign-based ERP production of simple and does not require complicated and strict cost control expression. Enterprises are now faced with this new demand, so do not contribute a bit.
To this end the author of the soon to be on the ERP, and similar information management system of foreign trade enterprises have also mentioned a wake. Since the companies are now more stringent cost management and prudent, then the selection of the time will require additional attention. If the enterprises need to adopt the weighted average cost of moving, then the purchase is necessary to confirm when the system is to provide similar functionality. Companies focus on cost accounting and control, that is, I feel great in this year, one of the biggest changes.
Strengthening of cost control and management of budget
One feature of foreign trade is that foreign customers pay more promptly, and businesses and no significant investment. Accordingly, it was foreign trade enterprises will become a "handbag business." This feature determines the foreign trade of customers when the lack of budgetary spending. I previously sent to foreign trade customers in the implementation of ERP projects when the cost estimates made very little control over customer needs. In practice, these companies are basically the money spent no money to spend less of the disordered state. If I know a foreigner, he is responsible for operation and management of an enterprise, that is the case. Upon receipt of several large orders, companies have more and more money left over, he spent nearly one million in decorating the rooms of the sample.
However, this situation occurred in 2009, earth-shaking changes. The author is responsible for several recent foreign trade customers, they clearly ERP systems can provide cost estimates control functions. But it also raises more detailed requirements. If according to departments, and even the user's budget and control costs, but also associated with the assessment. At the same time, the best solution to the preparation of the budget projected cash flow statement and so on. In a word, that is, before spending money to have the budget process, should be tracked, and afterwards to have assessment. |
