beware of low price bait, and don't treat supply, marketing and inventory as ERP

Product confusion is a twin product of vague concept. The masses call this practice "take the door god as an example (the distance between thick wires should be longer so that the wires have a tension of about 15 (2) 5kg) turn the main clip handle to clamp the lower end of the wires and sell the God of wealth"

"financial supply, marketing and inventory" software is a popular product in the initial stage of informatization. It is an extension from a single financial management function to supply, sales, inventory and other management businesses. Its essence is the expansion of financial computerization. After this software entered the market, its convenience and expansibility were welcomed by enterprises, showing the effect and initial advantages of informatization

however, with the in-depth development of informatization, this product is not enough to meet the needs of deep-seated management of enterprises. Some software businesses also feel that ERP is the general trend in the future, and "financial supply, marketing and inventory" is just a small fish, so they have transformed

due to the vacuum of market management in the transition period. There are two situations. Some negative and good reputation manufacturers have made serious transformation, and some enterprises with poor reputation have begun to play concept games and "face changing tricks". Then, the true and false Baogong appeared. Quite a number of enterprises can't recognize their status and true or false after their positions change. In this way, some enterprises spent money on buying electric poles and bought a rolling pin

at that time, the enterprise didn't feel that it was being cheated. When multiple systems run in parallel and the integration problem emerges, the problem is exposed and enterprises begin to complain. A large amount of basic data cannot be integrated, shared and transferred

in fact, there are essential differences between the two, which are reflected in:

· different management concepts

ERP financial management system takes management accounting as the core, adopts standard cost system, and emphasizes the management concept of "pre planning, in-process control, and post analysis"; The "financial supply, marketing and inventory" is only centered on financial accounting, and this accounting is often an afterthought accounting, which does not achieve effective management and control of costs

· different accounting methods

erp cost accounting is carried out dynamically by following the resource planning of market demand and accurately collecting costs along the process route. It controls the process of cost generation and the reasons for changes, which can play a role in reducing costs. Only by laying a solid foundation for the whole supply chain management can the sales information be fed back to the production link accurately and timely, so that the enterprise can respond to the market in a timely and rapid manner. And "financial supply, marketing and inventory" has no such function at all

· different control objects

ERP system integrates two aspects of materials and funds to realize the dynamic control of logistics, capital flow and information flow; The "financial supply, marketing and inventory" only integrates the capital flow, and only realizes the partial control of the capital flow

· different degrees of functional integration

realizing the dynamic integration of logistics information and capital flow information is the most important symbol of ERP, while "financial supply, marketing and inventory" is only composed of financial management module plus purchase, marketing, inventory or human resources and other functional modules, which is not closely integrated with the production system, let alone the effective integration of logistics and capital flow, which still has a high gross profit rate at present

· different cost data sources

erp takes the process control of production as the core, passes the supply, production, marketing and other links, timely and accurately converts business data into financial information, and automatically generates vouchers to realize the control of enterprise cash flow and product cost

the financial purchase, sale and inventory software capitalizes the enterprise operation data and calculates the cost through the general ledger and ledger. Financial data are "results" rather than "reasons". Due to poor source control, it is impossible to produce accurate "but results"

· the degree of transaction processing automation is different

the financial vouchers of ERP financial management system are completely automatically generated by business data; However, many financial vouchers of "financial supply, sales and inventory" still need to be entered manually

due to the above gap, users must not be fooled by the sweet words of lobbyists
