Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm on a project in a business that has 3 access databases and a couple of Excel files that each gets the forecast budget information for each department. <br />
<br />
Two department has a pretty complex structure with Production units where we can already pull out the labor and material cost per sub-unit. Some other only have an Excel sheet with a Planned and Invoiced column. <br />
<br />
They want me to put that in an Access database so that people enter their data there instead of doing so in Excel (those that are in Excel that is) and they plan to implement a small ERP system like maybe MS Dynamics. The goal of all that to make it easier to do the move to the ERP so we should adopt an ERP like structure already.<br />
<br />
I'd really like to have your advice on a way to do that or some documentation where I could get a good briefing on that.<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot!

Advice on designing an ERP-like data structure from xls

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Programming theory deals with the design, implementation, analysis, characterization, and classification of programming languages and their individual features, along with introductory programming concepts like program structure, variable declaration and conditional and looping constructs. Sub-disciplines include the formal semantics of programming languages, type theory, program analysis and transformation, comparative programming language analysis, metaprogramming, domain-specific languages, compiler construction and run-time systems.

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.
