ERP systems can offer a strong ROI for small to medium manufacturers who choose to invest in a quality system.  For many, the benefits of such a strong manufacturing ERP system mean tighter controls and standardized data for production that allows for optimized production. It also recalls images of better control over inventory and the supply chain in general.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

But there are other critical areas of every manufacturing company that benefit from a strong, flexible ERP system<\/a> as well.\u00a0 While not always considered in the benefits of an ERP system, one of the key areas that doesn\u2019t receive as much focus yet still benefits greatly is accounting.\u00a0 Tasked with finance functions and basic accounting that make the factory run smoothly, accounting departments too can benefit from an ERP system as much as production and supply chain.\u00a0 These benefits can improve profit and communication and standardize the accounting functions to create a smoother workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the top benefits of a\nmanufacturing ERP system for accounting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u00a0Analytics<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 A strong ERP system provides data that can predict behaviour and identify patterns.\u00a0 This data is used in different business processes such as sales, marketing and supply chain as well as production.\u00a0 This provides a comprehensive picture that allows accounting a full 360-degree view<\/a> of financial functions.\u00a0 By using the standardized data in an ERP, accounting departments have access to data that isn\u2019t readily available elsewhere and helps them to better forecast and manage risk.<\/li>
  2. Improved Workflow<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Accounting departments have workflows just as production departments do.\u00a0 An ERP system can automate tasks within that workflow related to compliance, auditing and reconciliation.\u00a0 Because these functions are automated, time is no longer needed to collect and analyze data and accounting managers can focus on more value-added tasks.<\/li>
  3. Cost Savings<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 ERP software saves accounting departments money by reducing operating costs.\u00a0 With automated account management processes, labour requirements are reduced.\u00a0 Overall, studies have shown that ERP systems save an average of 10\u201415% of operating costs<\/a> and accounting functions are included in that calculation.<\/li>
  4. Centralized Accounting<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 An ERP system integrates and centralizes data to allow management of accounting from one location.\u00a0 It reduces costs by removing redundant systems from multiple locations.\u00a0 This allows better-defined budgeting and cost allocation for raw material, labour and other associated costs.\u00a0 It also helps in managing cash flow and even helps in managing capital allocations because the data used is consistent with production requirements. Other accounting functions that can be automated with an ERP system include payroll, ACH vendor payments, credit card processing, branch accounting, bank reconciliations and others. <\/li>
  5. Financial Management<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 An ERP system can act as a financial management system.\u00a0 This allows the department to track revenue, grant credit, and accurately manage customer payment schedules.\u00a0 Many companies operate from a net 30, 60, 90 or 120 day terms and often these are overlapping depending on the size and importance of the customer.\u00a0 An ERP system with automated functionality can help keep track of this and allow for automation of payment, billing and revenue.\u00a0 It also helps develop reporting for cost analysis, invoice tracking and budgeting.<\/li>
  6. Cross-Functional Operability<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Many companies deploy different systems for key functional areas. In these companies, finance, production, maintenance, and inventory and supply chain may all have their own dedicated and siloed software.\u00a0 This reduces collaboration and leaves the enterprise open to miscommunication.\u00a0 With an ERP system, data is standardized across all departments.\u00a0 Collaboration is therefore enhanced, and departments work in synch with accounting rather than at cross purposes.\u00a0 The consistency of the data creates a natural atmosphere for collaboration because everyone is using the same dataset.<\/li>
  7. Reduced Risk<\/strong> \u2013 Integrity of data is crucial in any company.\u00a0 Without it, production efforts fail, and supply chains create overlapping and wasteful overruns or shortages.\u00a0 The same is true of accounting as well.\u00a0 With an ERP system, the integrity of the data is shared across the platform.\u00a0 Everyone has access to the same measurements, KPIs, analysis and standardized definitions of data and units of measurement.\u00a0 This keeps accounting functions running accurately.\u00a0 Additionally, many accounting only software systems are not GAAP compliant.\u00a0 ERP systems, on the other hand, have GAAP compliance built-in as part of their service offerings and functionality.<\/li>
  8. Real-Time Data Equals Opportunity<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 With an ERP system with integrated accounting, decision-making can be done in real-time.\u00a0 This opens the possibility of new opportunities for accounting to impact production.\u00a0 The ability to analyze data real-time vs historical can make a difference between dollars saved and dollars lost.<\/li>
  9. Inventory Reporting<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Depending on whether the manufacturer is a discreet or process manufacturer or whether they use make to order, make to stock or assemble to order, inventory is an expensive part of all operations.\u00a0 Accurate inventory can save money and can impact tax liability as well depending on whether a company holds a high degree of WIP or finished goods.\u00a0 As such, inventory accounting is closely tied to overall accounting for the entire enterprise.\u00a0 With an ERP system, standardized data allows for inventory reporting that can be analyzed to optimize financial considerations.\u00a0 By analyzing the transactional data available within the ERP, accounting departments can ensure that decisions are being made to maintain maximum accuracy of the inventory position and assure that adequate capital is available for inventory when needed.<\/li>
  10. Improved Job Costing<\/strong> \u2013 Today\u2019s manufacturing environment is more complex than ever.\u00a0 And with that complexity comes BOMs<\/a> with longer chains that require accurate costing.\u00a0 By integrating accounting into an ERP system, data on BOMs can be analyzed to cost the factory and its products accurately.\u00a0 This is beneficial in volume environments where a fraction of cost can mean the loss, or gain, of millions of dollars as well as in small lot discreet manufacturing where single unit or short lot production of specialized, premium value units can result in loss or gain as well if costed correctly.\u00a0 The integration of accounting and ERP gives a company a better shot at accurately costing the operation.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    While ERP systems are often thought of in manufacturing companies as an extension of an MRP system<\/a>, they are also so much more.  Inventory, maintenance, customer service, quality management and other departments are also integrated to provide optimum system integrity.  But is important to include account as a key player in this ecosystem as well, as the financial decisions made using ERP data will impact the entire operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
