UNIT - 5
Introduction
ERP systems are now ubiquitous in large businesses and the current move by vendors is to repackage them for
small to medium enterprises (SMEs). This migration has many consequences that have to be addressed through
understanding the history and evolution of ERP systems and their current architectures. The advantages and
disadvantages of the ERP systems will impact their penetration in this new market. The market position and
general strategy of the major systems providers in preparation for this push are described. The unit concludes that
the growth and success of ERP adoption and development in the new millennium will depend on the legacy ERP
system’s capability of extending to Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management
(SCM) and other extended modules, and integration with the Internet-enabled applications.
introduction to erp
Today, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have come to signify a never-before opportunity for
organisations to gain a clear edge over their competitors. In order to compete and grow, many organisations in
India either have already implemented or are at the threshold of acquiring ERP systems.
1. ERP is a high-end sophisticated software solution that reduces the pressure and workload of the managers
and provides accurate, timely information for taking appropriate business decisions.
2. Enterprise Resource Planning is the latest high end solution that information technology has lent to
business application.
Information technology has transformed the way we live in and the way we do business. Since the last decade,
IT has made a drastic change in our life. As compared to earlier stage, when computer was used just as a
typewriter, nowadays users have become more intelligent and IT literate. Now the user knows that a PC can do
many more things rather then just typing a letter in a word processing software or making balance sheets in
Excel. They expect more things out of their PC. During this phase of industry, every one of us must have heard
the word ERP in one or the other form. It may be in the title of any IT magazine or may be a point of discussion
in any IT Seminar or may be in an advertisement of big IT Company. Thus in any form, we all have been
through this word. In fact, ERP software consists of multiple software modules that integrate activities across
functional departments - from production planning, parts purchasing, inventory control and product distribution
to order tracking. Most ERP software systems include application modules to support common business activities
like finance, accounting and human resources.
figure 1.1: planning for erp

overview of erp
ERP is much more than just a computer software.An ERP System includes ERP Software, Business Processes,
Users and Hardware that run the ERP software. An ERP system is more than the sum of its parts or components.
Those components interact together to achieve a common goal - streamline and improve organizations’ business
processes. Most important factor for ERP system is the users. Successful implementation of any ERP System
depends more on intelligent users who are going to use them, because any standard ERP Software would consist
hundreds of input information for any particular business activity. Thus good knowledge of each entity of system
by the users is the most important factor in ERP Software.
Figure 1.2: functional Departments of erp
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is the evolution of Manufacturing Requirements Planning (MRP) II in 1980s,
which was mainly related to Manufacturing Industry and was designed to control manufacturing process and
planning the required production with efficient output. MRP is the evolution of Inventory Management &
Control conceived in 1960s, which was mainly designed for management of Stocks in any particular industry.
ERP has expanded from coordination of manufacturing processes to the integration of enterprise-wide backened
processes like production planning and scheduling of delivery. In terms of technology, ERP has evolved from
legacy implementation to more flexible tiered client-server architecture.
Various Modules of ERP
An ERP system consists of a variety of functions that are linked together. The various modules of an ERP system
include financial system include financial accounting, controlling, asset accounting, materials management,
production planning for discrete as well as for process manufacturing, quality management, plant maintenance,
sales and distribution, human resource management, project management. Although ERP features vary from
application, the typical ERP functionality covers the following core enterprise functions and the associated sample
modules.

functional modules of erp software
ERP software is made up of many software modules. Each ERP software module mimics a major functional area of
an organization. Common ERP modules include modules for product planning, parts and material purchasing,
inventory control, product distribution, order tracking, finance, accounting, marketing, and HR. Organizations
often selectively implement the ERP modules that are both economically and technically feasible.
manufacturing and Logistics modules
It consists of a group of applications for planning production, taking orders and delivering products to the
customer.
Production Planning: Performs capacity planning and creates a daily production schedule for a company’s
manufacturing plant.
Materials Management: Controls purchasing of raw materials needed to manufacture products,
The main sub-system of material management modules are:
1. Pre purchasing activities
2. Purchasing
3. Vendor evaluation
4. Inventory Management
5. Invoice verification and
material inspection
Pre Purchasing Activities: It specially includes items with services and items
with materials. For this data and manual entry efforts are reduced to minimum.
The entering service specification may be planned and unplanned.
Planned service specification means that services whose precise nature and intended
scope are already known at beginning of procurement project.
Unplanned service specifications are service, which are not defined initially. A
procurement project may include number of individual services, which can not or do
not wish specify in detail is having unplanned service specification.
Purchasing: The system performs the functions like procurement of materials and
services, determination of possible sources of supply for requirement identified by
the materials planning and control systems or arising directly within a user dept
monitoring of deliveries and payments of vendors etc.
Vendor Evaluation: This system also offers the users a point based evaluation
system. This evaluation is based on certain selection criteria the performance of
vendor is measured eg price, quality, delivery, support, replacement of returns,
lead times etc. The scores are computed automatically with the help of predefined
criteria.
Inventory Management: Inventory management is not only related to the stock but
also handles goods movement and maintaining information pertaining to this like

(a) Stock value for inventory management
(b) Account assignment for cost accounting
(c) Corresponding G/L accounts for financial accounting via automatic
account assignment
Invoice Verification and Material Inspection:
(a) Starts with purchase requisition, continues with purchasing and goods
receipt and ends with invoice receipt.
(b) It allows invoices that do not originate in materials procurement to be
processed e.g. on line buying
(c) It permitted credit memos to be processed, either as invoice
cancellation and discounts
Sales and distribution: Tracks activities from the receipt of a request for qualification
to billing and shipping the products.
Order entry and processing: Automates the data entry process of customer orders and
keep track of the status of orders.
Warehou se management: Maintains records of warehoused goods and process
movement of products through warehouse.
Transportation management:Arranges, schedules and monitors delivery of products to
customers by trucks, trains and other vehicles.
Project management: Monitors costs and works schedules on a project by project basis.
Plant maintenance: Sets plans and oversees the upkeep of internal facilities.
Customer service management: Administers installed base service agreements
and checks contracts and warranties when customers call for help.
finance module
The accounting and finance module is divided into four main parts.
1. General Ledger
2. Accounts Receivable
3. Accounts Payable
4. Asset Accounting
general Ledger
The central task of G/L accounting is to provide a comprehensive picture of external accounting and accounts.
Recording all business transactions (primary postings as well as settlements from internal accounting) in a
software system that is fully integrated with all the other operational areas of a company ensures that the
accounting data is always complete and accurate.
The ERP FI General Ledger has the following features:
1. Free choice of level: corporate group or company
2. Automatic and simultaneous posting of all sub-ledger items in the appropriate general ledger accounts
(reconciliation accounts)
3. Simultaneous updating of general ledger and cost accounting areas
4. Real-time evaluation of and reporting on current accounting data, in the form of account displays,
financial statements with different balance sheet versions and additional analyses.

Essentially, the general ledger serves as a complete record of all business transactions. It is the centralized, up-
to-date reference for the rendering of accounts. Actual individual transactions can be checked at any time in
real-time processing by displaying the original documents, line items and monthly debits and credits at various
levels such as:
1. Account
2. Journals
3. Summary of monthly debits and credits (balances )
4. Balance sheet/profit and loss evaluations
accounts payable
Records and administers accounting data for all vendors. It is also an integral part of purchasing, where deliveries
and invoices are recorded based on each vendor. The system automatically makes postings to the FI
component in response to these transactions. In the same way, the system supplies the Cash Management
application component with figures from invoices in order to optimize liquidity planning.
Outstanding payables are settled by the payment program, which supports all standard payment methods (checks,
transfers, and so on), in printed form as well as in electronic form (data medium exchange on diskette and
electronic data interchange). Payment methods specific to different countries are also covered by this program.
If necessary, you can create dunning notices for outstanding receivables (for example, to receive payment for
credit memos). This function is supported by the dunning program.
Postings made in Accounts Payable are simultaneously recorded in the General Ledger where different G/L
accounts are updated based on the transaction involved (payables, down payments and so on). To help you keep
track of open items, there are due date forecasts and other standard reports that you can carry out.
You can design balance confirmations, account statements and other forms of reports to suit your requirements in
business correspondence with vendors. There are balance lists, journals, balance audit trails and other internal
evaluations available for documenting transactions in Accounts Payable.
accounts receivable
Records and administers the accounting data of customers. It is also an integral part
of sales management.
All postings in Accounts Receivable are also recorded directly in the General Ledger.
Different G/L accounts are posted depending on the transaction involved (for
example, receivables, down payments, bills of exchange and so on). The system
contains a range of tools that you can use to monitor open items; for example, account
analyses, alarm reports, due date lists and a flexible dunning program. The printed
material linked to these tools can be individually formulated to suit your
requirements. This is also the case for payment notices, balance confirmations, account
statements and interest calculations. Incoming payments can be allocated to due
receivables using user-friendly screen functions or by electronic means such as EDI
and data communication. The payment program can automatically carry out direct
debiting and down payments.
There are a range of tools available for documenting the transactions which occur in
accounts receivable, including balance lists, journals, balance audit trails and other
standard reports. When drawing up financial statements, the items in foreign currency
are revalued, customers who are also vendors are listed, and the balances on the
accounts are sorted by remaining life.
Not only is accounts receivable one of the branches of accounting that forms the basis of
adequate and orderly accounting, it also provides (thanks to its close integration

with the Sales and Distribution component) the data required for effective credit
management, as well as (through its link to Cash Management) information important
for the optimization of liquidity planning.
asset accounting
The Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component is used for managing and supervising
fixed assets with ERP System. In ERP Financial Accounting, it serves as a subsidiary
ledger to the FI General Ledger, providing detailed information on transactions
involving fixed assets.
As a result of the integration in the ERP System, FI-AA transfers data directly to and
from other systems. For example, it is possible to post from the Materials
Management (MM) component directly to FI-AA. When an asset is purchased or
produced in-house, you can directly post the invoice receipt or goods receipt, or the
withdrawal from the warehouse, to assets in FI-AA. At the same time, you can pass on
depreciation and interest directly to Financial Accounting (FI) and Cost Accounting
(CO). From the Plant Maintenance (PM) component, you can settle maintenance
activities that require capitalization to assets
The FI-AA component consists of the following parts:
1. Traditional asset accounting
2. Leased assets
3. Preparation for consolidation
4. Information system
Traditional asset accounting encompasses the entire lifetime of the asset from
purchase order or the initial acquisition (possibly managed as an asset under
construction) through its retirement. The system calculates, to a large extent
automatically, the values for depreciation, interest, insurance and other purposes
between these two points in time, and places this information at your disposal in a
varied form using the Information System. There is a report for depreciation
forecasting and simulation of the development of asset values.
The system also offers special functions for leased assets, and assets under construction. The system enables
you to manage values in parallel currencies using different types of valuation. These features simplify the
process of preparing for the consolidation of multinational group concerns.
controlling
This module consists of:
1. Overhead cost controlling
2. Product cost controlling
Overhead Cost Controlling
Overhead costs are indirect costs that cannot be directly assigned to cost objects. Overhead Cost Controlling
component enables you to plan, allocate, control, and monitor overhead costs.
Planning in the overhead area lets you specify standards which enable you to control costs and evaluate internal
activities.
All overhead costs are assigned to the cost centers where they were incurred, or to the jobs which led to their
being incurred. The ERP system provides you with many methods for the further allocation of overhead. Using
these methods you can allocate the overhead costs true to their origins. Some of the overheads can be assigned

to cost objects with minimum effort and converted to direct costs.
At the end of a posting period, when all allocations have been made, the plan (target) costs are compared with
the corresponding actual costs on the basis of the operating rate. You can analyze the resulting target/actual
variances by cause and use the analyses for further managerial accounting measures within controlling.
Product Cost Controlling
Product Cost Planning is an area within Product Cost Controlling in which you can plan the non-order related
costs of, and determine the prices for, materials and other cost accounting objects. Product Cost Planning
comprises the following:
1. Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure
2. Cost Estimate without Quantity Structure
3. Reference and Simulation Costing
4. Price Update
Enterprise Controlling
The ERP System’s EC (Enterprise Controlling) application has been designed with four subcomponents to
account for these various aspects and organizational options.
Profit Center Accounting
Profit center accounting creates a company organization which is distinct from all other organizational concepts. Profit
centers are master data from a management perspective. To avoid additional entries, the corresponding allocations
can be effected in the operational systems (for example, material,
project,cost center).Profits andlosses are determinedforthese profit centers (valuation with transfer prices) as well as
the key figures for responsibility accounting (ROI, cash flow, and so forth). For the latter, some balance sheet items
must be available for each profit center.
Consolidation
This subcomponent consists of general consolidation functions. These functions are
for external as well as for internal reporting. Integrated application areas are not only
consolidated financial statements on the group level as required by law but also
business area consolidation, profit center consolidation or consolidation based on
group-wide profitability analysis by product line. The advantages lie in a rule-based
reconciliation between external and internal consolidation values.
Executive Infor mation System
ERP-EIS makes it possible to define company-specific data structures which are
oriented toward multidimensional evaluation views. Data acquisition programs are
available for most of the ERP components and for many R/2 components. Data can
also be transferred from non-ERP applications. Many functions are available to
process this data into a consistent, uniform whole. A graphical interface is available
for presentations, particularly for management. Hierarchical processing and
elimination functions make simple consolidation functions possible.
plant maintenance
The achievement of world-class performance demands delivery of quality products
expeditiously and economically. Organizations simply cannot achieve excellence with
unreliable equipment. The attitude towards maintenance management has changed

as a result of quick response manufacturing, “just-in-time” reduction of work-in-
progress inventory, and the elimination of wasteful manufacturing practices.
Machine breakdown and idle time for repair was once an accepted practice. Times
have changed. Today when a machine breaks down, it can shut down the production
line and the customer’s entire plant.
The plant maintenance module provides an integrated solution for supporting the
operational needs of an enterprise-wide system. The module includes an entire family
of products covering all aspects of plant/equipment maintenance and becomes
integral to the achievement of process improvement.
Plant maintenance supports various options for structuring technical systems with
its object, type and function-related views, and enables flexible navigation. Data
concerning the planning, processing and history of maintenance tasks is documented
in the system and complies with business verification requirements. You can use
the catalog feature of the plant maintenance system to define causes, activities
and maintenance tasks. All maintenance tasks such as inspection, servicing and
repair activities are saved in a historical database. In addition to standard
indicators, diverse analysis options are also available in many systems for evaluating
this data.
Plant maintenance provides you with technical and business reports and various
presentation options according to the criteria used. For example, organizational
unit, location, execution period for the tasks, or system manufacturer. This
information helps you to reduce the duration and costs of plant down as a result of
damage and to recognize possible weak points within your technical system in good
time. It also forms the basis for defining an optimum maintenance strategy in the sense
of “Total Productive Maintenance” (TMP) or risk-optimized maintenance. The major
sub-system of a plant maintenance module are:
1. Preventive maintenance control
2. Equipment tracking
3. Component tracking
4. Plant maintenance calibration tracking
5. Plant maintenance warranty claims tracking

Quality management
The Quality management area facilitates the establishment and execution of
business quality. In today’s global marketplace, quality management and quality
assurance ideals are now the requirements of doing business rather than elective
efforts left to the choice of a business. In ERP, quality management is based on the
driving standards first set forth by the ISO 9000 series of quality measures and
business certification.
ERP’s Quality Management module has been built to automate ISO compliance.
By ISO Standards, Quality management must be applied to all areas of a business –
not just production but internal company management and business processes as well.
Therefore elements of quality management can be found throughout the different
modules. QM module exists as a central control point to establish, track, and
maintain quality measurements and analyses throughout the ERP business
architecture.
In ERP, the QM module manages the following key aspects of business quality
management:
Material Management: Vendor evaluation, goods receipt evaluations, material
inspection result management, provision of inspection data to the procurement team.
Production: Inspection planning and work scheduling, inspection activities within
production activities, production quality monitoring, surfacing of problems in
production areas.
figure 5.1: integration of Qm
Sales & Distribution: Inspection upon creation of delivery orders, proof of quality for
approved deliveries, surfacing of problems in order fulfillment.
Accounting: Surfacing of costs associated with quality management actions.
In relation to the activities directly related to the act of monitoring quality management, ERP also provides the
following functions:
Quality Planning: Creation of plans to manage various quality inspection procedures.

Quality Inspection: Scheduling of quality inspection activities, generate documents resulting from inspections,
collect and analyze quality data, suggest corrective or follow up measures.
Quality Controls: Establish benchmark quality standards and sample groups of information, generate
statistical tools to monitor and evaluate quality compliance, development of corrective task plans.
production planning and material management
This function is used for entering planning data related to the entire organization. Model-supported
simulations can be carried out based on this planning data as well as on actual data. The resulting company
planning data can be provided to the company units as performance targets. Integration of the operational
ERP applications permits group-wide investment controlling with investment programs and budgeting,
investment monitoring of ongoing measures, and depreciation simulation.

materials management
Purchasing
Purchasing is a component of Materials Management (MM). The MM module is fully integrated with other
modules in the ERP System. It supports all phases of materials management: materials planning and control,
purchasing, goods receiving, inventory management, and invoice verification.
The Purchasing component has the following tasks:
1. External procurement of materials and services
2. Determination of possible sources of supply for a requirement identified by the
materials planning and control system or arising directly within a user
department
3. Monitoring of deliveries and payments to vendors
Good communication between all participants in the procurement process is

necessary for Purchasing to function smoothly.
Purchasing communicates with other modules in the ERP System to ensure a
constant flow of information. For example, it works side by side with the following
modules:
Controlling (CO)
The interface to the cost accounting system (Controlling) can be seen above all in
the case of purchase orders for materials intended for direct consumption and for
services, since these can be directly assigned to a cost center or a production order.
Financial Accounting (FI)
Purchasing maintains data on the vendors that are defined in the system jointly with
Financial Accounting. Information on each vendor is stored in a vendor master
record, which contains both accounting and procurement information. The vendor
master record represents the creditor account in financial accounting.
Through PO account assignment, Purchasing can also specify which G/L accounts
are to be charged in the financial accounting system.
Sales and Distribution (SD)
Within the framework of materials planning and control, a requirement that has
arisen in the Sales area can be passed on to Purchasing. In addition, when a
requisition is created, it can be directly assigned to a sales order.
Inventory Management
ERP’s Inventory Management system allows you to:
1. Manage your stocks on a quantity and value basis
2. Planning, Entry, and Proof of Goods Movements
3. Carrying Out the Physical Inventory
1. Managing Stocks by Quantity: In the Inventory Management system, the
physical stocks reflect all transactions resulting in a change in stock and thus in
updated inventory levels. The user can easily obtain an overview of the current
stocks of any given material. For each material, not only the stocks in the
warehouse are shown, but also the stocks ordered but not yet delivered, reserved
for production or for a customer, and the stocks in quality inspection can be
monitored. For example, if a further subdivision by lots is required for a
material, one batch per lot is possible. These batches are then managed
individually in the stock. Special stocks from the vendor or from the customer
(for example, consignment stocks) are managed separately from your company’s
own stock. This guide discusses the various stock types used in the ERP System
and how the corresponding stocks vary due to goods movements.
2. Managing Stocks by Value: The stocks are managed not only on a quantity basis but also by value - a
prerequis ite for cost accounting. With every goods movement, the following values are updated:
(a) The stock value for inventory management
(b) The account assignment for cost accounting

(c) The corresponding G/L accounts for financial accounting via automatic account assignment
Both the quantity and the value are updated automatically when entering
a goods movement.
This mainly deals with monitoring inventories by quantity.
3. Planning, Entry, and Proof of Goods Movements: Goods movements include both “external”
movements (goods receipts from external procurement, goods issues for sales orders) and “internal”
movements (goods receipts from production, withdrawals of material for internal purposes, stock
transfers, and transfer postings).
For each goods movement a document is created which is used by the system to update quantities and
values and serves as proof of goods movements. Goods receipt/issue slips are printed to facilitate physical
movements and the monitoring of the individual stocks in the warehouse.
This focuses on planning and entering all types of goods movements.
Physical Inventory
The adjustment between the physical stocks and the book inventories can be carried out independently of
the physical inventory method selected.
The ERP System supports the following physical inventory methods:
1. Periodic Inventory
2. Inventory Sampling
3. Cycle-Counting
inventory management and Warehouse management
The Inventory Management system can be extended by the Warehouse Management system (WM) which
manages storage bins in complex warehouse structures.
While Inventory Management manages the stocks by quantity and value, the Warehouse Management
component does even more by reflecting the special structure of a warehouse, monitoring the allocation of the
storage bins and any transfer transactions in the warehouse via completion confirmation procedures.
Invoice Verification
The Invoice Verification component is part of the Materials Management (MM) system. It provides the link
between the Materials Management component and the Financial Accounting, Controlling, and Asset Accounting
components.

Invoice Verification in Materials Management serves the following purposes:
1. It completes the materials procurement process - which starts with the purchase
requisition, continues with purchasing and goods receipt and ends with the
invoice receipt. It allows invoices that do not originate in materials procurement
(for example, services, expenses, course costs, etc.) to be processed.
2. It allows credit memos to be processed, either as invoice cancellations or
discounts. Invoice Verification does not handle the payment or the analysis of
invoices. The information required for these processes are passed on to other
departments.
Invoice Verification Tasks include:
Entering invoices and credit memos that have been received. Checking the accuracy
of invoices with respect to contents, prices, and arithmetic. Executing the account
postings resulting from an invoice. Updating certain data in the ERP system, for
example, open items and material prices. Checking invoices that were blocked
because they varied too greatly from the purchase order. The high degree of
integration in the ERP system allows these tasks to be carried out smoothly and
efficiently.
production planning
This area is used to manage the planning activities that enable a factory to project
and execute plans that reflect product and service deliveries. The production
functionality allows for the control and manipulation of factory resources in regard to
materials capacity, shop floor capacity and personnel capacity – all elements essential
to producing materials and services.
figure 5.3: production planning
Following are the definitions of the key elements you will find in the production.
Master Data: Master data plays an important role in each functional area and
contributes to effective integration. Master data in the production area centers on
information that further defines the material master as well as provides critical master
data that specifies bills of material, production work centers, process routing
methods and engineering change management. A planning team is typically
responsible for the activities in this area.

Master Planning: Here you will find additional materials forecasting, demand management,
long-term planning and master Production Schedule development. This sort of activity is to be
managed by a factory planning team.
MRP (Materials Requirement Planning): From an overall factory planning
perspective, this is where all demand, supply and resources are pooled and a total
factory plan is developed to drive the different areas responsible for supporting a
company’s product or service delivery throughput. This area is typically driven by
a planning team, but procurement teams can sometimes provide analysis and input
into the results of this business area’s activity.
Repetitive Manufacturing: The production submenu provides for the control and
maintenance of production. Other methods are available, which help factories
work with the production methods that best meet their needs.
