SAP ERP is SAP's advanced product, where SAP has made tremendous growth not only functionality-wise, but also technology-wise, which ultimately helps a complete business to be managed under a single umbrella,,There was definitely room for improvement in SAP ERP in having so many modules under one software, which was making the product more complex, and was requiring more training to understand all its features.

We also had many users who had SAP before from their prior companies and they wanted it for financials.,We reduced our financial close by at least 5 days and sped that up in an organized fashion.
Since we rolled out tons of training for the users, the training excellence made everything fresh with SAP.
The integration of related financial process areas was key in SAP ERP, e.g. financial reporting, accounts payables, accounts receivables, etc.,Treasury and cash management does not look like other best of breed systems, and it was hard to understand. Not intuitive.
We found lots of SAP implementors, but not many for the Treasury functions, this was tough to work with.
The implementation cost was multiples of the actual ERP purchase. and it took well over a year to implement.,8,As covered before, SAP ERP was long and expensive to implement, but the ROI was made in like 3 years. We sunset tons of other disparate systems.

Before the application of SAP ERP, the company had problems with information organization and compliance, including completion of tasks in the established time frames. Thanks to SAP ERP the organization achieved the mechanisms to systematize and analyze the information immediately, achieving a more timely decision-making process.,The SAP system adapts to the business model of any organization because it has multiple parameterized business processes.
SAP ERP allows users to automate any process of the company in order to be more efficient.
SAP ERP issues progress reports that are easy to understand.
It provides the possibility of working with management indicators that allow measuring the management of the company's operations, detecting weaknesses and consequently making decisions in a timely manner.
It is a tool that allows us to integrate all the operative processes of the company, making it easier to understand the its behavior and the dynamics of the economic activity.,SAP ERP must make an effort to simplify the use of its system, considering that it requires learning time to make the most of its applications.
SAP ERP should look for ways to integrate modules better considering that in the simulation of the modules there can be confusion.
It is a complex program that must offer its users a module to help with the use of tools so that they can take full advantage of the tools.,9,In view of the implementation of SAP ERP in the organization, all the operations activities were systematized, planned, monitored by means of Excel sheets (Microsoft Office), being very cumbersome to keep the information organized and consequently make decisions of objective nature immediately. situation that impeded the fulfillment of the goals and consequently causes loss in the investment.
The implementation of SAP ERP operations achieved that the company will improve the goals and in this way improve its profitability index, obtaining income, and profits that favor the company's growth and the benefits of the personnel.

We create new customers, customer's orders, supply orders; create purchase orders, manage product inventories, and invoices. We also generate sales reports to contribute with the requests of several involved departments. The system is used practically by the entire organization, each with its corresponding module. Thanks to this software we can have details of all the requests from the customers, from the orders to invoices, deliveries, credit notes and all the transaction history made in our company.,The administration of clients. Accounts with a complete customer management system, transaction history, claims, everything related to your customers.
Access controls by users. With this you avoid users without authorization levels, entering into transactions or making changes.
Integration to other systems. To take advantage of all the information generated, you can integrate with another system, for example, one to generate reports.,In our case, the support department is a little slow to meet important requests.
When the user does not remember the password, our recovery option is only the technical support department. Some recovery option by E-mail would be excellent.
Transactions to generate monthly reports over time have become slower. We need debugging of this. Customers are growing and transactions equal, there should be some way to optimize the process and for these reports to not take so long to generate.
The data export formats are of old software. They should consider updating the current formats to the new ones.,8,Positive because you have the transactions necessary for the complete functioning of the different departments (orders, deliveries, credits).
Negative at the moment that it is necessary to manage an order but [we] do not have the permissions of the transactions (prior to written authorization) and the responsible department is not there.
Negative because we have a way to send emails in SAP ERP but it is very complicated to use and we are using the email manager.
Negative because we don't have a simple and friendly way to send emails from SAP.

It provided a solution for many more business processes than given above.

We used this to run 3 business units. We are running the PP module, SD module, MM Module, FI and CO module as an integrated manufacturing system from Sales Order processing from customer Purchase Order to Delivery and invoicing customer. To extend the function in our AFS industry module, we have created a cutting room and roll management system which is built with ABAP within SAP. SAP ECC is very good but it is too traditional and very labour/resource intensive. Not all functions in an apparel industry are addressed by the current SAP ECC.,Creating Sales document and following the sales into production and delivery is a very integral part of SAP. Very rarely we have a system which is so closely knit and integrated with financial transactions.
Material management is also a very detailed and transparent system where inventory of each category is managed whether it is finished good, semi finished good or raw material. Even sub-contracting procedure is there to manage material category which in BOM is created as a semi finished good to be delivered via sub-contracted supplier.
Financial Controlling module, which I think is the best module within ECC ERP as it contains all controlling mechanisms to run all other modules, to alert them of any irregularities and facilitate the pre-production scenario in terms of financial impact and act as an agent to create a smooth production and sales flow which makes this a customer-supplier-customer end-to-end system.
SAP's innovation on external data integration is well known for it's standard in EDI transaction supporting multiple EDI standards. It has its own module IDOC which works like magic. The Process Integrator (PI module), OData support and Gateway module have given third party vendors the ability to integrate their systems with SAP to extend its functions and system reach. This makes SAP more acceptable and flexible in system integration.,SAP ERP ECC AFS module definitely has a lot of room to improve within the generic apparel industry where traditional work in sample processing, cutting room, and roll management is an essential part of the business and needs to be addressed.
SAP Financial module should be more integrated and flexible with regard to multiple client business unit management - I would like to see them make it more intelligent and robust.
ABAP programming could be more human friendly and more object oriented within its core programming modules.
Screen painter and other development tools need to be more modern and flexible for this era of development. It needs to evolve to a more RAD type technology.,6,SAP success depends firstly on your consultant's knowledge and installation experience including industry knowledge. Without this criteria, your SAP installation will be a failure. Using SAP themselves as an implementation partner will cost a fortune, so many will turn to a qualified, certified implementation consultant.
There is always a positive side when looking at ROI attributes. There is more cost to implementation than SAP ERP costs itself. They are more consultant-related and implementation criteria-related. In relation to SAP, the cost has always been justified and the ROI is always positively lower than other ERP implementations due to its effectiveness and successful factors.
SAP has always got an edge in terms of its system consultants, certified SAP personnel and support level. SAP support is one of the best, if not the top, support orientated company. Staff with SAP knowledge are an asset to the company. The ROI in investing in SAP makes support and talent hunting easy as there are more people who are knowledgeable in SAP than any other ERP in the market.,Microsoft Dynamics AX and Oracle ERP Cloud,Microsoft Office 365, SmartDraw, Laravel PHP FrameworkSaravanan Veerayah JayaramanA solid solution for big players and conglomerates for their transactional application needs.2017-11-09T18:19:32.901ZSAP ERP is used across different departments and multiple legal entity as our Group's transactional system (FI, CO and HR modules). My use of SAP is limited to the extraction of the information for the consolidation process (which is managed outside). With the help of SAP the information for the different legal entities is managed by a single application with a unique list of accounts and a unified reporting procedure.,The interface is clean and intuitive. Besides that, SAP is a well-known standard wich is recognized and used also by many of our newly incorporated companies. This is clearly a pros in terms of time spent on resources training.
The elaboration of data is quick even after a big expansion of our consolidation perimeter.
Also the reporting routine performance (with the different release updates) have become faster despite an increasing list of accounts and other accounting dimensions.,Even if the organization of data is performing, there is still room to grow for the customization of the platform. However, I believe that taking both performances and customization together (especially with big, all-purpose applications) is a very difficult goal to achieve.,7,Being an end-user I do not have specific information supporting the impact of this solution on ROI.,CCH Tagetik, Microsoft Office 2016Verified UserAll data in one integration system2017-12-05T17:54:08.273ZSAP ERP is used in various functions/applications including customer relationship management (CRM), financial management, production, order fulfillment and supply chain management.

It also provides business objects which helps analysts to work on historical transaction data, one platform for easy access to the data in ERP system and analytics with strong visualization platform.,Great for understanding all the transactions and operational experience in a timely manner.

Apart from that, everything is great.,10,It has a very positive impact.,,Oracle PeopleSoft SCMAtul NagarSap ERP - Pain plus Gain2014-05-16T15:15:42.002ZSAP Is used throughout the company, SAP Financials, Master Data , Payroll, Stock, Billing, EDI data transfers, backend to customer website & app. Industry specific functions are either in house developed or external packages that have been purchased. The issues that the ERP were there to solve were - multiple in house systems that weren't properly integrated. Lack of user standards - frequent cost overruns due to bespoke development projects.,The key strength is forcing standardisation - many users hate the clunky screens, the workarounds and the SAP attitude of that's how it works. However by making the frontline users do things only one way it is easy to slim down over large processes and therefore costs.
Centralising all operational data allows sites to be compared on all KPI's allowing a proper 6 sigma approach to be made again improving process & costs.
The high cost of changes to vanilla SAP mean that a proper PMO style project review and justification is essential.
The XI module whilst having a few annoyances allows previously disparate Ecomms offerings to be standardised and therefore save costs - design is key.,The main issue is the change of mindset that both IT and users have to undertake. IT will shudder at some of the ways it works - but the key thing is that it works.
The installation project where configuration and bespoke changes are required will be extremely painful (and costly) unless you either stick strictly to SAP vanilla or hire in good consultants full time before you sign any contract.
The older modules e.g. master data do not link particularly well with the newer ones so industry specific changes may require double entry.
Sap support is notoriously slow after the initial install period - their consultants/account managers are on a constant churn,8,Headcount reductions are significant both in IT and user departments
When implemented with a true PMO is provides a solid basis for all future development
It can negatively impact on users who previously had tailored bespoke software - this area needs to be managed sensibly

I use it to process volume transfers between sales reps, set up and change hierarchies, set up and revise geo tables, and run reports. It is used by most team members to enter new data and report the financial condition of the company. I have been using these SAP modules for almost 3 years. They are very user friendly and very easy to navigate through the menus. I did not receive much SAP training but found it was not long before I was up to speed on the types of transactions that I need to use in my daily work. I know there are many portions of SAP that I do not use but would be interested in learning more about.,It does a good job of reporting by Area or Region of the country and the world.
It gives good details of each transaction with the ability to show changes and the reason for the change.
It can show the GP for the transaction the following day it has invoiced.

More timely reporting to management and customers with accurate information,Oracle eBusiness Suite,8,Don't knowLinda Keesling, MBASAP at a Bird's Eye View2014-12-12T19:34:31.564ZSAP was used across the organization to streamline business processes. SAP was able to provide multiple modules that replaced various, stand-alone systems providing easier access to information and removing the need for costly and time consuming data integration. SAP's use across the organization meant that cross training employees across multiple sites became far easier and reduced the management and training costs associated with the previously disparate systems.,One of my favorite things about SAP was the data integrity. Because of how easily the various modules tied together there was much less room for error.
Integration. The various modules that SAP has work seamlessly when configured correctly. SAP has a module for what seems like everything from manufacturing processes to Maintenance to Sales Forecasting and more.
Change Migration. Moving changes from a development, to testing, to production is very easy via SAP transports. Also refreshing DEV and QA environments from production can be accomplished easily.,Customization inside of SAP requires rigorous testing and specialty knowledge of ABAP to perform unique functions.
SAP is not cheap. The cost of SAP can be prohibitive to smaller companies looking for an ERP solution.
Almost all of the table names and abbreviations inside of the SAP database structure are in German which makes BI reporting and data analysis difficult for non-German programmers and analysts.,9,SAP allows for much faster decision making because the information in the system is in real time. There is much less time spent gathering data from desperate locations.
The cost in training and support becomes much lower when using SAP vs multiple other systems. Users from one location to another follow the same process and steps to complete their daily job functions and can reach out to each other for help and support.
Interface reductions. Having SAP as a single source ERP solution reduces the IT costs associated with managing multiple data sources and dealing with interface errors when they occur.,Oracle eBusiness Suite,Infor ERP,9,,,MRP was a huge piece of the implementation. Products were created for customer orders would have to be filled very quickly and communicating that need with suppliers, was just as important. MRP and automatic PO creation and delivery reduced process time and overhead.
The time to close financials for each month before implementing SAP would take almost to the middle of the next month, but after implementation we were able to reduce that time to one week.
We were able to reduce overhead by eliminating support positions for procurement and other departments, by automating systems.
There was a significant IT investment in integration hardware and software which was eliminated by use of SAP's integrated modules.,We were able to configure the PO email transactions to the vendors with dynamic values to support the routing of POs to the correct distribution centers on the vendors side. We provided the ship to information data in the body of the email, which the vendor could automatically read and forward the email to the correct recipients location.
We were able to gain greater control over master data by implementing the single system ERP methodology.
The SAP ERP was able to comminucate directly through EDI with some of our customers to improve customer performance and accuracy in fulfillment.,SAP is expanding its list of modules into business functions that are unique to our industry. This makes them the prime choice for further ERP reviews.
Having the core financials module in SAP configured the same across multiple locations make setting up a new location in the future far easier.
We hope to expand our EDI with customers in the hopes of reducing data errors and improving the turn around time on customer orders.,Yes,Price
