ERP ==>
Enterprise Resource Planning
<application, business> (ERP) Any software system designed to support and
automate the business processes of medium and large businesses. This may include
manufacturing, distribution, personnel, project management, payroll, and
financials.
ERP systems are accounting-oriented information systems for identifying and
planning the enterprise-wide resources needed to take, make, distribute, and
account for customer orders. ERP systems were originally extensions of MRP II
systems, but have since widened their scope. An ERP system also differs from the
typical MRP II system in technical requirements such as relational database, use
of object oriented programming language, computer aided software engineering
tools in development, client/server architecture, and open system portability.
JBOPS are the major producers of ERP software.
