Reasons to Switch to an ERP System

Every business needs a solid and streamlined system, whether it’s a start-up business or multi-national corporation. Most businesses have acquired ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning to improve and streamline their business processes. Agencies, like ERP Consulting LLC offers ERP software such as Microsoft Dynamics  to aide businesses in changing their current management system. ERP software Microsoft Dynamics  can greatly benefit companies in driving towards a more unified system.

If you are still hesitant in upgrading your system to an ERP system, you should consider the following factors:

1. You use various software for different tasks and processes.

The ERP system if very useful when it comes to running various front and back-end systems separately. This will ensure smooth and accurate processing. Integrating an ERP system into your business will allow you to integrate various processes so that every business function relies on a single database. With one source of information that contains accurate, real-time data, an ERP solution helps staff make better decisions more quickly.

2. You need quick and easy access to all facets of your business.

The pace of business is quick and relentless, which means your employees need immediate access to key data. With an ERP system, executives and supervisors can get a holistic view of business operations at any time, while other staff can get the information they need to do their jobs more effectively.

3. Accounting tasks take longer and is complicated.

The first department that indicates that your company needs ERP software will come from your accounting department. With an ERP solution in place, your employees won’t need to rely on paper-based invoices, sales orders, purchase orders, etc. Countless hours won’t be wasted manually inputting this information into various accounting and sales systems. This bodes similar to financial reporting. Consolidation and reconciliation of financial information across a wide system will be swifter and straightforward.

4. Sales, Marketing and Customer services are compromised.

With an ERP system, employees are able to easily access updated information about services and client information which will enable business front-liners to immediately and accurately address customer needs and queries. Better yet, customers should be able to simply go online to their account and view status information.

 will greatly benefit your employees and customers. It’s a system which helps provide holistic solutions to age-old issues. We at ERP Consulting LLC want to become your trusted partner and contribute to your business growth and success.

Account Modifier and Combiner in the Professional Tools Library

I was using the GL account modifier/combiner today and was having trouble importing the changes of 83 accounts.  It would validate properly but when I clicked on modify it returned quickly and prompted to convert. The convert worked for about 2 seconds, a little too fast to combine 83 accounts. I then found in the instructions (no I didn’t read it first) I see that the changes get put in a table called TACHANGE. Nothing was there. After reading the instructions it tells me to create a text file. That was the key. Not a comma separated text file but a tab separated using the extension .txt. I didn’t try to rename a CSV to test to see if it works. Anyway, in case you hit the same issue.
