We have separate systems currently for Procurement (a Cloud Saas), HR (a Cloud SaaS)
& Finance (an on-prem Oracle E-Business_Suite).

There's proposal from snr management to move to a single ERP, replacing all the
disparate systems.

Q1:
What are the key factors to achieve success in adopting a single ERP

Q2:
What are the pitfalls to avoid?

Q3:
Heard a consultant & another colleague sharing their past experiences
& would like to validate it here with EE members' experiences:

a) Minimize customizations & adapt work processes to the new ERP
    system rather than customize ERP system to adapt to the old work
    processes : anyone disagree with this?

b) Crucial to get a good PM & implementation consultant with good
     track record & not out to sell their ERP solutions only

c) staff must be positive to adopt & adapt

d) resources / bandwidth / learning capacity  of staff

e) compatibility of existing systems' data to be migrated over to
    the new system;  otherwise have to rekey in most data

f) our auditor who worked in one such past ERP implementations
   commented that mapping & matching the roles/functions of
   staff to the new ERP system is crucial

Dear Experts

We are looking for the application where the movement of the items to be stored and tracked of its import and export process, we would like to measure the time taken of each movement and complete insight on where at present the item is, this could be under the import or export process ,
Repair process.
 We export the items for the repair where it has following process involved pick up from the customer location, moves to local warehouse and then shipped to other country and reaches to their ware house and they send it to repair and once repair is completed they send it to their warehouse and from there shipped to our country ware house and from our country to customer location, there are multiple inbetween locations involved in this entire process, each of the location the item is moved then an email alert to be sent to receiving location concerned person about its arrival as it has shipped from the existing location. we should also store the documents for each of the items and each location their processing documentation will attached and the movement should carry the documents of each locations processing.
Purchase process, ( we are not creating quote, RFP, invoice) all we are doing is to maintain the documents which is already processed from other ERP system.
Also another process that is tracking the items delivered against each of the purchase order , for the same purchase order number the delivery happens on multiple shipments, in additional to track…

Hello Guys,

I need to build a simple ERP for my startup, which is about buying services.

Its input data will be taken from company's administration pages, i.e orders, customers, service etc.

So, 2 main issues:

a) How I can parse all those data from a protected (w/ password) page
b) Which drag n drop tool (like Filemaker) I should use, given I am not a professional programmer?

If this helps,  I am a Mac user.

Thank you

Dim.

Dear Experts
At present we are using CRM application which is hosted on premise and it is mainly used for handling the support cases, automated email alerts and to store all the case related data, repair and maintenance data ( all data are imported  only , ie, operational users will not use instead all these to be imported  ) and tool is only used for reporting and analytics purpose only . Now that for other business process where the operational users will use in every stage  hence the need for technology solution in additional to above mainly on following business process and solution to be deployed on premises only.
1.       complete material movement tracking and capture the activities involved and automated email notifications and if the delay escalation rules .  
2.      Service, repair and maintenance  
3.      Warehouse/logistics management
4.      Inventory management
5.      Invoice management/HRMS/Vendor bills/salary # this is optional mainly 1 to 4 is important
We cannot go for cloud solutions the solution to hosted on premise.  Please suggest the ERP application that can be best suited for above should we have to evaluate Microsoft dynamics ERP AX , SAP  or any other where it to be used for operational and also for reporting and analytics . please suggest the best suited ERP or other solutions. Thanks in advance.

Hi Experts,

We recently had one of our employees click on a link in a e-mail that took him to a fake site where he entered his credentials and his e-mail account was compromised.
Management hired a cyber security company who did scans on the systems, his e-mails and also other things on the web.
We have managed symantec Endpoint protection, intrustion, malware which is up to date and active.  
We also didn't have anything on the back end set up (per management) to protect our e-mail against spam, malware, all e-mails were to come through.
The cyber people are telling management that Symantec only gets 20% of intrusions, viruses and malware.  (I don't believe that, I have a e-mail box flooded with all the intrustions Symantec is getting and not one virus in 4 years which it caught).
Management from their advice is most likely going to force me to uninstall Symantec from all of our workstations and servers and deploy Carbon Black?

Can anyone tell me if this sounds as insane as it I think it is?  Anyone familiar with Carbon Black?  

Please help, I don't trust this at all and would love to be proven right or wrong.  I think this cyber company might be banking on management fears from my co-workers mistake.

Thank you

My friend's work has 20 sales reps using Salesforce.com, each processing 250 signed contracts per year, for a total of 5,000 contracts

When he asked DocuSign how much the above electronic signature cost would be DocuSign said it would cost about $3 per contract, for a total of $15k/year

What other "Salesforce.com electronic signature" options do you recommend for the above volume that would cost a lot less since the only thing he wants is eSignatures, no other features ?

hi,

I need to create an SQL query that is performed by my application on SAP tables.  

The tables are:    
LTBP - Transfer order Item
LTBK - Transfer order header


Here's the existing code:

The following code is the driver for bringing back the open TR’s for the specified material. The is the LTBP (item table):

  sWhere = "SELECT TBNUM, TBPOS, MATNR, CHARG, MENGA, TAMEA, ALTME FROM LTBP WHERE " & _
                sMaterialClause & sBatchClause & " AND " & _
                "LGNUM = '" & mobjUser.Warehouse & "' AND ELIKZ <> 'X'"


New pseudo code:

Add a join to the header table to include the movement types:  101 and 103.
The movement type is in the header table.

  sWhere = "SELECT TBNUM, TBPOS, MATNR, CHARG, MENGA, TAMEA, ALTME FROM LTBP WHERE " & _
                sMaterialClause & sBatchClause & " AND " & _
                "LGNUM = '" & mobjUser.Warehouse & "' AND ELIKZ <> 'X'"    
JOIN TO THE HEADER TABLE (LTBK) field BWLVS (movement type is 101 OR 103)

We use Skype for Business and it's in the O365 portal.  Our Exchange server is on-prem and our AD is on-prem.  All we use the cloud for is the S4B licenses.

We are noticing that some users don't have pictures and some do.  It's random, and, they use to have pictures.  It's odd and I've been tasked with trying to find out why random users don't have pics.

For the most part, users upload their pics thru OWA and that's worked fine.  

Does anyone know where I would start to troubleshoot this issue?  Do I start in the cloud?  On-prem?  Outlook?  AD?

Just looking for a good starting point from someone who has seen this before.

Thanks
