ERP Part of SAP<\/h3>\n<p>ERP, which emphasizes the <em>planning<\/em> process, is part of SAP. SAP is the whole system used by a company. ERP and SAP are also not parts that can be put together, considering that they are attached and related to one another.<\/p>\n<p>Without SAP, ERP cannot stand alone. Meanwhile, ERP is an important part that must be carried out to ensure that SAP runs perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>It must be understood that the two are two different things that are interrelated.<\/p>\n<p>In ERP, several things that will be discussed in depth are the planning process for other processes that will be carried out within a company.<\/p>\n<p>While the system available in SAP already includes the process from planning and managing human resources until it finally ends in the distribution process that the company will carry out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/sap-business-one\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banner-sap-indonesia-cta-en.jpg\" alt=\"Banner SAP\" width=\"600\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>2. ERP Emphasizes On Planning<\/h3>\n<p>Going deeper into the ERP module, ERP is a part of the system intended to manage several calculation functions in a company.<\/p>\n<p>Within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/erp-system-definition-function-and-types\/\">ERP system<\/a>, many sub-systems are commonly known as corporate accounting. Parts of the system are called modules.<\/p>\n<p>ERP modules include General Ledger, Account Payable, Account Receivable, Material Requirement Planning, Order Management, Inventory Control, and Human Resources Management, or a system for managing human resources in the company.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of division, the ERP system allows companies to divide employees into several divisions or sub-divisions with specialties to manage each job description.<\/p>\n<p>All planning in a company will be managed through an ERP system that has provided various needs as well as programs and modules needed by a company.<\/p>\n<h3>3. SAP Provides Solutions From The Entire System<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike ERP, SAP is a solution provider of the entire system that applies to a company. All arrangements made by the company will be regulated in a system and application called SAP.<\/p>\n<p>If there are recording errors or calculation errors at the company, the location of the error can be found more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>These errors can be traced from various essential records in the company, which makes it easier for stakeholders to re-calculate.<\/p>\n<p>If, in the process, the system experiences interference or problems that disrupt the company&#8217;s operations; the system provider has provided problem-solving services starting from finding the cause of the problem to what solutions must be made to repair the system.<\/p>\n<p>It is regulated with a sophisticated regulatory model that makes it easier for users or customers to manage systems in the company.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from the process carried out to plan company activities and create a master plan to manage employees at the company; everything can be done using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/what-is-sap-understanding-use-and-importance-of-sap-in-the-company\/\">SAP system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from these processes, there are also SAP modules related to the buying or selling process that must be carried out regarding the company&#8217;s continuity.<\/p>\n<p>The system has provided complete steps from the initial process of planning a company to the company&#8217;s distribution process.<\/p>\n<p>Profits or losses in a company can be seen easily when a period ends. Even if the company wants to change the audit period that has been done before, the company can change it easily.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/en\/calculation-of-sap-costs-and-benefits\/\">Calculation of SAP Costs and Benefits<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The records produced are also complete so that anyone who wants to do a recount can see all available records complete with various modules from each division.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of system is profitable to implement in a company and very useful for carrying out the controlling or monitoring function of every company activity by looking at the SAP ERP module that is already available in the system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/sap-business-one\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/banner-sap-indonesia-cta-en.jpg\" alt=\"Banner SAP\" width=\"600\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SAP ERP module is a method used to introduce both SAP and ERP systems, which are now essential in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[324],"tags":[271,273,307,275],"class_list":["post-1659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sap-business-one-en","tag-sap-en","tag-sap-business-one-gold-partner-en","tag-sap-hana-en","tag-sap-indonesia-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1659"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9755,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1659\/revisions\/9755"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sterling-team.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
