Enterprise resource planning: software that connects activities such as purchasing, inventory and finance through shared records.
An ERP system brings core business processes into a connected environment with shared information. Purchasing, inventory and finance teams can work from related records, reducing the need to maintain separate accounts of the same activity. A purchase order, for example, can be connected with the receipt of goods and the supplier’s invoice. The relevant functions vary by organisation and software configuration. In a job description, ERP experience may mean entering and checking operational records, producing reports or supporting the system itself, so the surrounding tasks establish the level of expertise required.
