ERP in enterprise application includes distribution, manufacturing and finance, involving nearly 30 modules such as purchasing management, warehousing management, inventory control, production planning, distribution planning, workshop control, quality management, salary management and human resources. If ERP is the "general" in enterprise management, then collaborative OA is the "general" in enterprise management and is indispensable in enterprise management system.
