Online ERP is the web-enabled front-end for the company wide ERP software. Users are
provided with web-based information and a central and uniform data basis. A Workflow
Management System ensures targeted and secure user guidance through the required business
processes. The online ERP software, needs the permanent availability of user-specific Internet
applications is ensured. The online Enterprise resource planning software forms the backbone of
business systems in manufacturing firms and many other businesses.
The online ERP solution for the users are a strategic and coherent approach to the management
of organizations for providing facilities such as loans to the customers or giving credit to the
suppliers or to reflect their financial status in the respective industrial environment. It is the most
valuable asset for the people working there who are responsible both - individually and
collectively for the achievement of the organization’s goals.

NEED FOR ERP
As defined by professionals financial loans under various banking systems are having a lack of
implementing effective strategies. But this seeks to obtain competitive advantage through the
strategic development of highly committed & skilled workforce using an array of personal techniques.
It is concerned with the employment, development, and the reward of people in organization and
conduct of relations between the user needs and the financial systems. It involves all people of
different line and length as well as the end users, which can specifically exist to make important
contributions to the process involved.

AIM/OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM
THE PROPOSED ONLINE SYSTEM HAS TO integrate all facets of the business, including
planning, manufacturing, sales, and marketing.
As the ERP methodology has become more popular, there is a need of emergence of
software applications that helps business managers implement ERP in business activities
such as inventory control, order tracking, customer service, finance and human resources.

The objectives are listed below:
Challenging the suitability of existing business software systems
Developing software long-lists for replacement projects
Challenging the validity of short lists during replacement projects

EXISTING SYSTEM
PRIME CONCERNS OF AN ORGANIZATION
The size of ERP, the number of users, it wide-area-network capability.
Need to have core focus, eg SAP - manufacturing, PeopleSoft - Human Resource, etc...,
all generic in nature requirement for a proper System flexibility, ie is it expandable if the
business grows and its limits.
The cost involved for expansion, look at license cost per user and cost per add-on
module. Different ERP vendors have different pricing models.
Is it easy to customize the system, again the cost involved and time as well.
Need to have the system user friendly, easy to use for the users.
How quickly is an invoice raised following the dispatch of an order?
NEED TO analyze the correlation between the salaries and bonuses related to sales
performance?
Need for analysis of the marketing activities targeted to responsive potential markets?
To monitor whether the sales people monitored and measured in line with your business
goals?
Need for automatic web based interactions
Automatic email and messaging systems
Ease of use

PROPOSED SYSTEM FEATURES
The ONLINE system design specification of the ERP, how does the actual system work,
we will have to go into technical details with this, normally this will tell us the stability,
security and flexibility of the ERP.
The online system helps in supporting the levels from the ERP, helpdesk staff available,
technical staff, consultants available, etc.
With the proposed ERP system, all of these things can be improved.
The proposed online system has every department to get better equipped to carry out key
tasks and with visibility across all processes that we can obtain clear and timely
information on which to base critical business decisions.
Maximize productivity through re-organizing the human resources and other departments
in your small business.
Standardize and speed up manufacturing processes.
Reduce Inventory and improve visibility of the order fulfillment process inside the small
business.
Integrate customer order information, right from closing the sale, delivering the product,
and invoicing the customer.
Web based solutions
Ease of use
Easy mails and messaging systems

ABOUT THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed integrated online ERP system provides an intuitive and flexible tool
set that can handle all the front and back-office operations of a discrete
manufacturing company. The proposed Online Enterprise Resource Plan is a
software that integrates departments and functions across a company into one
computer system.
The Online ERP runs off a single database, enabling various departments to share
information and communicate with each other. The proposed software ERP systems
comprise functions such as specific modules designed to interact with the other
modules, eg Purchasing, sales, customer, budget control etc.
Online ERP is an ocean of integration and the proposed system handles only certain
functions within the specific time limit. The proposed system does not handle the
finance related and Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, production and its
schedule modules within its scope.
Online ERP is an Extended ERP System, which means it handles everything a
traditional ERP package handles like Parts, Orders, plus many additional functions
required by a manufacturing company such as Quality, Engineering, and so on.
Most of our customers can install an Online enterprise solution. However, these
customers need not stay with their existing ERP system, use various Online modules
to augment their legacy system’s gaps and weaknesses

How is ERP Different from other applications?
TYPES OF DATA MAINTAINED
• Maintain Financial and Non-Financial data about a wide range of activities
• Events Orientation -- Record events other than financial accounting events; record
additional, non-financial information about accounting events

METHOD OF DATA AND PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
• Organize information more efficiently and provide tools to make information accessible to
a wide variety of individuals/applications
• Database Organization - All data is stored separately from the programs that manage it.
This allows for (but does not assure) more seamless integration of subsystems and
easier development of systems and processes that use cross-functional data

LEVEL OF ENTERPRISE-WIDE INTEGRATION
• Integrate and link information from a wide variety of subsystems
• Enterprise-Wide Integration -- Across subsystems and transaction cycles and across
financial and non-financial lines
