ERP Internals/Modules

A "module" is a group of related programs performing a major function within an ERP. Since there is no particular order that makes sense, we have chosen to list the modules in alphabetical order. Some of the decisions about what constitutes a module are not arbitrary. Since an ERP is designed to accommodate a variety of industries, not every enterprise would use every module. Module Documentation Layout describes how the information about each module is organized. An ERP package is composed of the following modules: Finance and Performance Management Accounts Payable Accounts Receivable Bank Reconciliation Cash Management Currency Fixed Assets General Ledger Bond Manager Job Costing Time Billing Investment Manager Share Manager Customer Relationship Management Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Help Desk Call Center Contacts Sales Analysis Sales Compensation Human Resource Management Employee Scheduling Human Resources Payroll Supply-Chain Management Inventory Manufacturing Order Entry/Invoicing Preventative Maintenance Pricing Purchasing Quotation/Estimation Receiving Shipping Service Management Technical Architecture Systems Administration Business Intelligence (BI) Workflow
