A computer program is a list of instructions that tell a computer
 what to do. Everything a computer does is done by using a
computer program. A computer program is written in a 
programming language

A computer program is stored as a file on the computer's 

hard drive. When the user runs the program, the file is read by the
computer, and the processor reads the data in the file as a list of 
instructions. Then the computer does what the program tells it to
do.

A computer program is written by a programmer. It is very difficult

to write in ones and zeroes, which is what the computer can read,
so computer programmers write in aprogramming language, such
as BASIC, C, or Java. Once it is written, the programmer uses a 
compiler to turn it into a language that the computer can
understand.

What is Business Organization
**

Business organization, is an entity formed for the purpose of

carrying on commercial enterprise. Such an organization is
predicated on systems of law governing contract and exchange,
 property rights and incorporation. 62
 What are various Departments **

• Finance & Accounting

multiple departments.
▶ Hence reporting is
usually vertical and co-
ordination is horizontal.
▶ Lot of data is transferred
across departments for
every process.

65
Need of integrated Business system **

• Departments cant work in isolation. They need to interact with

each other.
• Many business processes run across multiple departments and
have multiple people involved in it.
• Information required by various departments is different.
• Information needed by various org. levels is different.

purposes.

How Business Grows **

68
 Operational & Analytical Reporting **

• Middle management requires operational reports.

• Top management requires analytical reports.

• Decisions can’t be taken effectively without having overview of

data consolidated from various departments.
• Operational reports are important for planning and scheduling
activities.
• Without ERP, manual efforts are needed to generate reports
which causes delay and errors due to manual intervention.

69
 Data Availability Issues **

• Without single system for entire business, data is not available

across departments at real time which causes delays in
dependent operations.
• Due to manual interventions, Data can be erroneous.
• Data is duplicated in multiple systems.
• Data integrity is cant be maintained as master data is
maintained locally in various systems.

70
How ERP Addresses these issues? **

• Covers processes across departments.

71
How ERP Addresses these issues? **

• Process automations and control.

• Single database to completely remove data duplications.

How ERP Addresses these issues? **

• Access controls achieved using separate login / password.

• Security of Business Data through restricting roles based on
geographical locations / position in org. / reporting structure.
• Avoids data integrity issues using Master data and configurable
items. e.g. if Customer and material is not present in the system,

moved to sandbox for testing.

▶ After unit testing is done TRs are released in tcode SE09 and
imported to quality server using tcode STMS.
▶ After UAT, TRs are imported into production server using STMS.
