Gap Analysis
The user requirements that cannot be directly mapped
on to the standard system from the basis of gap
analysis. Here, all such uncovered requirements are
compiled into a gap analysis report. The gaps are then
classified into the following three heads:
Gaps which can be taken care of with a little
programming effort.
Gaps which involve an extensive programming effort and
hence require extra resources.
Gaps which cannot be taken care of in the system.
Customization
Once the process mapping and gap
analysis have been done, the actual
customization starts. In this step, first the
customizing needs are chalked out and
then the actual job is handed over to the
respective functional teams.
Development of User-specific
Reports and Transactions
As part of gap analysis, any user
requirements not covered by the standard
system need to be provided by extra
programming effort. In this step, the
required reports and transactions are
created.
Test Runs
In this step, the test runs on the system
are started. Sample transactions are tried
to see whether the customizing and
master data uploading has been errorfree. The result of the sample transactions
is evaluated and any changes required in
settings to get the desired results are
incorporated.
User Training
The training of users can be started along-side
the test runs. Users belonging to different
functionalities are trained in their respective
functions. Normally use training includes:
Parallel Run
With the successful test runs and user
training in place, the parallel run of the
system can be now started. In parallel run,
the business transactions are carried out
both through the existing system as well
as through the new system. The
implementation team then takes care of
any lacunae which come to light during the
parallel run.

If the parallel run is satisfactory and errorfree, or errors that may have come up
have been resolved, the users may be
asked for their final approval.
User Documentation
User documentation includes the details
on how to carry out the various
transactions. It is different from the regular
ERP package documentation in the sense
that it is more specific in nature than
general documentation. It only covers
alternatives that are being used in the
particular business so as to make it easy
for the user to understand and use them.

Post-Implementation Support
Post-Implementation support generally
involves queries from the user, minor
changes in the report formats, as well as
small changes in layouts of various printed
formats like purchase orders, etc.
VANILLA IMPLEMENTATION
A Vanilla implementation is the decision to
implement an ERP As-Is and modify
business processes to match the ERP
system. It is fundamental to make this
decision prior to starting an
implementation. A Vanilla implementation
is when the company chooses not to
modify (i.e., customize) the ERP system,
but instead to change business practices
to fit the ERP system.

BPR METHODLOGY
BPR METHODLOGY
The BPR Methodology, as shown in Figure below,
includes:
Preparation - set goals and vision, identify teams, and
develop an inventory of processes that need to be
evaluated.
Define the "As-Is" process and evaluate crossorganizational issues
Map out "To-Be" processes based on best practices
(i.e., related to ERP)
Test and measure new processes based on meeting
goals and vision
Re-evaluation - revise, adjust to improve processes

Multi-lingual
Must be flexible enough to have customer
service representatives in different
countries taking orders in different
languages and at the same time on a
single host platform. Orders must be
printed or returned to customers in their
native languages.
Multi-currency functionality
Must be capable of, for instance, receiving
invoices in Indian Rupees, splitting the
payment into German Mark and Belgian
Francs, billing in Italian Lire, receiving
cash in British Pounds, with the general
ledger stated in US Dollar or Japanese
Yen.
Multi-mode or Mixed-mode
Manufacturing
In the enterprise of today, grown through
alliance and merger, a single manufacturing
strategy of either discrete or continuous process
is no longer practical. Enterprises now employ a
mix of approaches including make-to-stock,
highly-repetitive, assemble-to-order or design-toorder. A single integrated software solution, and
not satellite software, should handle all these
concurrently, efficiently passing data from one to
the other.
Multi-facility
The total solution must support multiple division or
companies under a corporate banner. Multiple facilities
are logical or physical entities linked to divisions. Each of
these may or may not have independent stores,
production units, assembly lines, overhead centre, and
planning units but each usually has a set of accounts.
Each and every transaction must flow seamlessly to be
divisions or corporate set of books. The software should
also seamlessly integrate operating platforms as the
corporate database and departmental level applications
may be required to run on a variety of hardware and
software platforms.
Imaging
Integration of information systems can be
further enhanced through imaging.
Imaging provides the ability to display
drawings or specifications. In addition, it
provides the ability to store original sales
orders, purchase orders, quotations,
contracts, etc.
E-Mail
In order to reduce paperwork, e-mail
should be tied to the electronic approval
process for purchase orders and
engineering change orders. All this adds
up to the effective workflow automation.
Database Creation
Database creation is the most significant
cross-system application, starting with
time and attendance reporting, going all
the way to machine-monitoring and control
and post-sales statistics. In between are
the critical areas of material receipts and
shipments, inventory issues and work
order completion, operational labor
collection, warehouse dispatch and
collection of money.

ERP Modules
The key role of an ERP system is to provide support for
such business functions as accounting, sales, inventory
control, and production.
ERP vendors, including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft
provide modules that support the major functional areas
of a business.
The ERP software embeds best business practices that
implement the organizations policy and procedure via
business rules.
