Developing Data For Input To Erp System: Support For Financial Transactions

Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning system is a business management system that integrates all facets of the business, including planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. As the ERP methodology has become more popular, software applications have emerged to help business managers implement ERP in business activities such as inventory control, order tracking, customer service, finance and human resources. ERP system users have indicated a need for support for users responsible for generating financial entries. This paper presents a prototype case-based system designed to support use of an enterprise resource planning system’s financial entries. That system uses the well-known REA database structure as the basis of capturing information about the cases. This kind of a system could be linked to users through an ERP portal access.
