ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) has been the cornerstone of several small, medium, and large sized businesses for many years now. ERP acts as the aggregator accounting platform of choice for companies, but some may agree that its flexibility is questionable.

Top 3 Challenges With ERP:

  • High value purchases and expenses around IT, Marketing, HR Services, Legal Fees, Utilities, and Regular Expenses like Annual Maintenance Contracts are taking place outside the ERP system. There is limited or no control on branch or department level spends. Delegation of Authorization and Corporate Policies are challenged exposing the company to risk.
  • ERPs are not viably built for every employee of the organization to log on to it for requesting, approving, or fetching information. They are built for recording post-facto transactions and processing them for P&L. The cost alone for each licenced user would be run too high.
  • Purchases made outside the ERP amount to significant percentage of SG&A expenses and the time spent managing the purchases and payments is huge because of the number of transactions. Manual data entries are required to integrate with the ERP. These spends are managed with a homegrown system or spreadsheets or email or worse – paper receipts. The accounts and finance operation remains tactical at best.
