Baan/LN Tip of the Week: ERP Setup - Pros & Cons

You may have started your setup of your ERP system one way, and have discovered over time that maybe it no longer fits how you need to do business. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be providing some pros/cons to consider for different company setups.

Pros/Cons of Single Finance / Single Logistic Company Set-Up

Pros
Easy to implement and to maintain.
No risk of processing data for another company.
Data not visible across companies – pro if you do not want users to see other company’s data.
Cost Prices can be different for the same item in the different logistics companies.
Easy to add or remove companies when companies are bought or sold.
Accounting functions are all separate by company. – Pro if each finance company is managed separately.

 

Cons
Decentralized operations – purchasing, sales, manufacturing, planning, warehousing, etc.
User must go in and out of companies if there is a need to view or create transactions in more than one company.
Data not visible across companies – con if you do want users to see other company’s data.
 
Must set up routings and BOM’s separately for each site.
 
Accounting functions are all separate by company – Con if both finance companies need to be managed together, although centralized payments, cash receipt application, and display and printing of ledger transactions and trial balances are possible for both companies if both are linked to the same financial group company.
