ERP Modules Guide

ERP Modules Guide

ERP modules should be selected according to daily business control requirements, not only according to a vendor brochure. The best ERP module plan connects every department to the next transaction.

CRM, sales and order modules

CRM captures leads, follow-ups, quotations, sales orders and customer communication. For real estate it includes bookings, allotments and collections. For manufacturing it includes quotation costing, customer work orders and dispatch planning.

Purchase and inventory modules

Purchase and inventory modules control indents, approvals, purchase orders, GRN, quality checking, material issue, transfer and stock valuation. These modules are critical for both construction site stores and manufacturing warehouses.

Production, BOM and project modules

Manufacturing companies need BOM, MRP, production planning, job work, QC and finished goods. Construction companies need BOQ, budget, project phases, contractor work orders, daily progress and RA billing. Module names may differ, but the control objective is similar: cost, quantity and accountability.

Finance, GST, HR and MIS

Finance modules should connect with operational transactions so management can see receivables, payables, GST, project cost, production cost and cash flow. HR, payroll and task modules become useful when attendance, responsibility and approvals need tracking.
