ERP General Concepts

What is ERP? The Current Scenario Why ERP? Evolution Expectations
ERP
A collection of software systems that help to manage business processes for an entire organization Designed to integrate all information processing support for an entire organization
Organization
A group of people engaged in purposeful activity over extended time A tool used to coordinate in order to obtain Value or organizational goals
Business Process
Work activities across time and place, with a beginning, an end, and clearly identified inputs and outputs Has sequence, purpose, interaction
ERP - Definition
Software solution that addresses the Enterprise needs, taking a process view of the overall organization to meet the goals, by tightly integrating all functions and under a common software platform
In simpler words, an ERP is a massive software architecture that supports the streaming and distribution of geographically scattered enterprise wide information across all the functional units of a business house. It provides the business management executives with a comprehensive overview of the complete business execution which in turn influences their decisions in a productive way.
Evolution of ERP
1960s - Systems Just for Inventory Control 1970s MRP Material Requirement Planning & (Inventory with material planning procurement) 1980s - MRP II Manufacturing Resources Planning (Extended MRP to shop floor & distribution Mgmt.) Mid 1990s - E RP Enterprise Resource Planning (Covering all the activities of an Enterprise) 2000 onwards E RP II Collaborative Commerce (Extending ERP to external business entities)
ERP Model
The Before and After of ERP: Before -- each function is supported by multiple applications and interfaces After -- each function is supported by a single application module within the ERP system itself, and all applications leverage a common, authoritative data source.
The Current Scenario

Islands of Information Difficult to get timely & accurate information Heterogeneous Hardware & Software platforms & practices Poor connectivity between different organizational locations Sticking with obsolete technology Resist to change Lack of proven man-power to develop integrated software
Information Islands
Why ERP is required?

For Management to know what is happening in the company One solution for better Management For cycle time reduction To achieve cost control & low working capital To apply latest technologies To satisfy the customers with high expectations To be Competitive & for survival
Basic ERP Applications

ERP covers a broad range of activities that are supported by a multi-module software application. The different modules allow the business to manage the many parts of the business. Some examples of modules: Planning Sales Inventory Marketing Purchasing Distribution Maintenance Accounting Manufacturing Human Resource
Finance
ERP Expectations
Integrating all the functions Integrating the systems running in all the locations Transparency of information using a single data source across the organization Software must be responsive Modular Flexible Easy to add functionalities Provide growth path High ROI

Advantages of ERP Systems

There are many advantages of implementing an ERP system. A few of them are listed below:
#A perfectly integrated system chaining all the functional areas together. #The capability to streamline different organizational processes and workflows #The ability to effortlessly communicate information across various departments\ #Improved efficiency, performance and productivity levels #Enhanced tracking and forecasting #Improved customer service and satisfaction
While advantages usually outweigh disadvantages for most organizations implementing an ERP system, here are some of the most common obstacles experienced: #The scope of customization is limited in several circumstances #The present business processes have to be rethought to make them synchronize with the ERP #ERP systems can be extremely expensive to implement #There could be lack of continuous technical support #ERP systems may be too rigid for specific organizations that are either new or want to move in a new direction in the near future
Disadvantages of ERP Systems

ERP implementation Lifecycle
Business Process Reengineering

Just automating the existing business practices will not help ERP to achieve the anticipated results Business Process Re-engineering [BPR] brings out the deficiencies of the existing setup BPR and ERP combination will give way to implement new systems and the long pending improvements in the existing systems BPR may be time consuming but the scope can be restricted & controlled by the Management
The BPR approach to an ERP implementation implies two separate, but closely linked implementations involved on an ERP site i.e. a technical implementation & a business process implementation. The BPR approach emphasis the human element of necessary changes within the organization, which is generally more Time consuming & has received its share of criticism for creating bloated budgets & extended projects. The ERP market shifts to a mid-market focus & as all implementation are becoming more cost sensitive; the BPR approach has come under some real scrutiny.
CONFIGURATION
IMPORTANCE OF CONFIGURATION This is the main functional area of the ERP implementation. Business processes have to be understood & mapped in such a way that the arrived solution matches with the overall goals of the company. THE PROTOTYPE
A prototype- a simulation of the actual business processes of the company- will be used.
The prototype allows for thorough testing of the to be model in a controlled environment.
As the ERP consultants configure & test the prototype they attempt to solve any logistical problems inherited in the BPR before the actual go-live implementation. STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES Configuring a companys system reveals not only the strengths of a companys business process but also& perhaps more importantlyits weakness. It is vital to the health of the company & to the success of the ERP implementation that those configuring the system are able to explain what wont fit into the package & where the gaps in functionality occur.
Some important points to remember while evaluating software includes.

#Flexibility & Scalability. #Complexity #User Friendliness #Technology #Quick Implementation #Amt of Customization Required #Ability to support multi site planning & control. #Local support infrastructure . #Total cost i.e license , training, customization etc.
Conclusion
In current business era, integrated software's Like ERP suffices the needs of all type of Industry. There must be a vision for choosing appropriate ERP. Consider all Advantages and Disadvantages of ERP you choose.

Objectives
After completing this module, you should be able to do the following: Define Multiple Organization (Multi-Org) Discuss the types of organizations supported in the Multi-Org model Explain the entities of Multi-Org Explain how Multi-Org secures data Define Multi-Org Access Control
What Is Multi-Org?
Multi-Org is a server-side (applications and database) enhancement that enables single installation of Oracle Applications. Multi-Org keeps transaction data and some setup data separate and secure by different lines of business.
Basic Business Needs

The Multi-Org enhancement provides features that enable you to: Support multiple business units even if they use different ledgers Secure access to data on a single instance by line of business Define different organizational models Sell and ship from different legal entities Procure and receive from different legal entities Produce reports across entities or within a single entity

Benefits of Workflow
Workflow-Driven Business Processes

Workflow allows you to focus on managing the business process, not individual transactions.

Define and implement your business policies Streamline the entire process Route information Capture exceptions and take action Build continuous improvements directly into the process definition Adapt your processes as your business changes
Workflow-Driven Business Processes

Workflow automates and streamlines business processes contained within and between enterprises. For example, you can use workflow processes to: Add personalized trading partner rules Validate self-service transactions Approve standard business documents Step through daily transaction flows Integrate with trading partner systems

Alert Process Overview

Alert! Send email message Submit concurrent program request Run SQL script Run a SQL script that starts a workflow Run operating system script
Server
Client
Client
Event Alerts: Examples

Event alerts start when a record is inserted or updated. Examples of event alerts that could be created include:
New Code Combination: Notify GL Manager as soon as a new account combination has been created. Shipment Confirmation: Notify a user as soon as a shipment has been processed. Supplier Hold: Notify Purchasing Manager as soon as a supplier has been placed on hold. Database monitoring: Inform the DBA as soon as database tables need more space and automatically allocate space.
Periodic Alerts: Examples

Personnel: Show all employees terminated in the last six months (monthly) Payroll: Show current balance and vacation reported by month (monthly) Purchasing: Detect creation or edit of Vendor with nonstandard payment terms (weekly) Purchasing: Show all blanket agreements that will expire (daily)
What Is an Exception?
An exception is a specified condition found during an alert check. For example, an alert checking for users who did not change their passwords within the designated time finds five users that meet the criteria. Each user found is an exception.
Action Types
An action occurs after a monitored database event occurs or a periodic check of the database has been performed. Alert can perform the following actions: Send an email message Submit a concurrent program request Run a SQL statement script Run an operating system script
Differences Between Alert and Workflow

Alerts Run on insert, update, or concurrent request Limited conditional logic Limited predefined frequencies Workflow Run on potentially any action, concurrent request Any conditional logic Almost any frequency

Defining MassAllocation Formulas

All MassAllocation formulas use the following equation to determine allocation amounts:
Cost Pool * (Usage Factor/Total Usage)
Oracle General Ledger uses the following format to represent the equation. Each factor in this equation relates to a separate formula line:
A * B/C
You can enter any combination of fixed amounts and account combinations in formula lines A, B, or C.

Foreign Currency Concepts

There are three key concepts in Oracle General Ledger that pertain to foreign currency:
Conversion
Revaluation
Translation
Integrating with Subledgers
Foreign currency obligation is entered in Oracle Payables
Payables journal entry is recorded in General Ledger
Foreign currency is revalued and the unrealized gain or lost is recorded
Foreign currency obligation is paid in Oracle Payables
Realized foreign currency gain or loss is calculated
Payables journal entry is recorded in General Ledger
Business Reasons
Benefits

Useful for consolidation reporting and analysis No need to physically move balances to create views of consolidation data Beneficial for parent consolidation entities that share the same chart of accounts and calendar with their subsidiaries
Tighter link to ledgers! For accounting and reporting in another currency (in addition to the ledger's primary currency) Can be used with Primary or Secondary ledgers
Defining Currencies
Use the Currencies window to define and enable or disable currencies
Conversion Overview
Oracle General Ledger converts journal amounts entered in a foreign currency to functional currency equivalents using daily conversion rates
