Each ERP system has probably the same as in general case blocks. In the case of Great Plains Dynamics GP modules are combined into so-called Series: Financials, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Payroll, Manufacturing, Fixed Assets. In this small article, let & # 39; s review Series-Modules structure and where Modules codes restide
1. We are seeing such modules as General Ledger (GL), Bank Reconciliation (BR). When you purchase GP licenses, you do not pay for Series, you pay for Sales series has: Sales experts (with exception for new GP licensing module - GP Business Ready, which competes with the "all-in-one" named license model of SAP Business One, for example). These modules: Receivables Management (required), Sales Order Processing, Invoicing (you can not use both SOP and Invoicing you have to select one)
2. Great & fine rules have historically multiple big plains Dexterity dictionaries: DYNAMICS. DIC is the main and default dictionary, which is installed automatically. (such as Icontrol manufacturing) into Dynamics.dic. If you are implementing such modules as Fixed Assets (FA), Project Accounting (PA), you will need to install their dictionaries separately, however this process is not difficult. The language of this article looks to be overwhelmed with industry terminology, unfortunately we are in the frames of small article format restrictions
3. Manufacturing Series. These Series requires (if MA is intended to be implemented in full functionality) also GP Inventory Control, Financials, Purchasing, Sales Order Processing modules
4. Business Portal. BP is web extension to traditional Microsoft Dexterity based modules. This time, November 2007, BP expends GP and has Requirement Management (former eRequisition), HR and Employee Self Service, Order Management (formerly eOrder), Electronic Document Delivery and several other modules
5. System manager. This is where you have you GP concurrent user licenses. And probably if you deploy 10 or more SM users - this is the most expensive part of GP
6. Inventory Control. IV module is required for implementing the following peripheral modules: Sales Order Processing (SOP), Purchase Order Processing (POP), Manufacturing, Bill Of Materials (please know that that BOM is not part of Manufacturing, as light manufacturing, if your MRP requirements are modest)
