Thanks for inviting me in this discussion.
ERP stands for "Enterprise resource Planning" . We need to define it as a system through which we can plan all the resources of a complete enterprise activities. Normally ERP points to a software which is capable to address all the needs of every department of a company using a SINGLE DATABASE shared on the back-end.
Every department gets the access of their relevant tasks and the data which is generated is available to all the stake holders for further processing or reporting purposes. Sales dept, Purchase Dept, Ware House, Manufacturing, Stores , Human Resource, Finance , Transport Dept etc do not need separate solutions to handle their routine tasks and a single ERP system is capable to provide them all the necessary I.T tools for Budgeting, Scheduling, Communicating, Data-Entry and Reporting tasks.So ERP covers a complete Life Cycle of Every Business Scenario and Business tasks using a single platform for every stake holder.
