ERP

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems integrate (or attempt to integrate) all data and processes of an organization into a unified system. A typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve the integration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the various system modules.
Overview
This is very common in the retail sector[citation needed], where even a mid-sized retailer will have a discrete Point-of-Sale (POS) product and financials application, then a series of specialized applications to handle business requirements such as warehouse management, staff rostering, merchandising and logistics.
Ideally, ERP delivers a single database that contains all data for the software modules, which would include:
1. Manufacturing
Engineering, Bills of Material, Scheduling, Capacity, Workflow Management, Quality Control, Cost Management, Manufacturing Process, Manufacturing Projects, Manufacturing Flow
2. Supply Chain Management
Inventory, Order Entry, Purchasing, Product Configurator, Supply Chain Planning, Supplier Scheduling, Inspection of goods, Claim Processing, Commission Calculation
3. Financials
General Ledger, Cash Management, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets
4. Projects
Costing, Billing, Time and Expense, Activity Management
5. Human Resources
Human Resources, Payroll, Training, Time & Attendance, Benefits
6. Customer Relationship Management
Sales and Marketing, Commissions, Service, Customer Contact and Call Center support
7. Data Warehouse
and various Self-Service interfaces for Customers, Suppliers, and Employees.
