Despite remarkable academic efforts, why Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) post-implementation success occurs still remains elusive. A reason for this shortage may be the insufficient addressing of an ERP-specific interior boundary condition, i.e., the multi-stakeholder perspective, in explaining this phenomenon. This issue may entail a gap between how ERP success is supposed to occur and how ERP success may actually occur, leading to theoretical inconsistency when investigating its causal roots. Through a case-based, inductive approach, this manuscript presents an ERP success causal network that embeds the overlooked boundary condition and offers a theoretical explanation of why the most relevant observed causal relationships may occur. The results provide a deeper understanding of the ERP success causal mechanisms and informative managerial suggestions to steer ERP initiatives towards long-haul success.

PurposeThis research aims to explore the enabling and constraining effects of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and speculate on how these can be linked to the four generic roles of operations management (OM) proposed by Slack et al.Design/methodology/approachThis research understands ERP as boundary objects characterised by modularity, abstraction, accommodation, and standardization. An in‐depth cross‐disciplinary literature review and role synthesis is conducted.FindingsFour enabling and three constraining effects of ERP are deduced from existing literature. ERP and OM are linked conceptually. Based on the identified effects of ERP, the paper speculates on the managerial tasks of the production and operations manager (POM) in an ERP environment and lists a set of central concerns of potential relevance to POM and to future research.Research limitations/implicationsThe identified roles of ERP and their implications could be empirically tested using case based and survey research.Practical implicationsThe results provide insights into how ERP has multiple and parallel roles, and how these roles are relevant to the function of OM. Such knowledge is valuable for practicing POMs in managing the implementation and design of ERP to support the different domains of OM.Originality/valueCurrent studies of the effects of ERP and their link to the practice of OM tend to focus on one or a few roles of the emerging system. Such studies do not properly take into account the modularised and pluralistic nature of ERP. This research provides a platform from where future research on the effects, managerial dilemmas and implications of ERP can be reconciled across research communities.

Market Trends

By implementing a better solution for shipment tracking, Michael wanted to facilitate better overall delivery service between WDS and its customers. The hardest question was that he did not know where to start. The quick solution of implementing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system would solve the majority of problems related to copying and pasting data. However, it might not help in the long run because the company is expanding. To address market trends and prosper in the next few years, WDS needs to make significant updates to its logistics systems including RFID implementation and create a better solution for Enterprise resource planning (ERP).

International Financial Reporting Standards now constitute an important part of educating young professional accountants.  This paper looks at a case based process to teach International Financial Reporting Standards using integrated Enterprise Resource Planning software.  The case contained within the paper can be used within a variety of courses to teach International Financial Reporting Standards within an ethical framework.  This case does not require access to a live SAP ECC 6.0 server.  Students desiring a real time technical experience can either use a live system or utilize the practice capability within this case.  The product demonstrated uses the current version of SAP ECC 6.0.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) has become one of the most popular information systems among companies that want to continue and expand their operations in the long run. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of interdepartmental relations, conceptualized as frequency of interaction, trust, coordination and power, on departmental performance from a social capital perspective. The findings of the study revealed that three components of interdepartmental relations (frequency of interaction, trust, and coordination) only emerged as significant factors in departmental performance when ERP was used effectively within the department.

Ultimate Objective

The ultimate objective of any organizational initiative to install ERP system is to reveal some advantage, whether it is associated with cost savings, improved efficiencies, or better decision-making. These systems can in the long run save millions of dollars, improve quality of information, and increase workers’ productivity by reducing the amount of time to do a job. ERP systems can virtually eliminate the redundancies that occur from outdated and disparate systems that may be present in each department of an organization. This paper highlights the effect of ERP systems on the people of an organization. The results indicated that employees, customers and suppliers were benefitted due to installation of ERP systems while external agencies were not affected due to ERP systems.

Erp Software

 Cloud computing is the buzz word in today’s Information Technology. It can be used in various fields like banking, health care and education. Some of its major advantages that is pay-per-use and scaling, can be profitably implemented in development of Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP. There are various challenges in implementing an ERP on the cloud. In this paper, we discuss some of them like ERP software architecture by considering a case study of a manufacturing company.
