Overview

Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) are directly tied to the evolution of material resource planning systems used in manufacturing. ERP’s goal is to combine the functions of an enterprise into one software suite. The expansion of ERP is credited to the Gartner firm. ERP systems are being procured and implemented at alarming rates by all types of entities, especially government. Manual processes are being replaced with automation at every turn, and, as Procurement, we are responsible to source and embrace technology. How does Procurement embrace this change? Procurement must actively participate in any system changes. For public entities, ERP systems start with Finance albeit, there are other divisions like utility billing, fleet, and public works that will benefit as well. One of the biggest areas for improvement in Procurement is its technology. While, we have great bidding[LF1] systems for competing an entity’s requirements, there are very few true procure-to-pay systems sourced and implemented. Procurement can and must go beyond supplier registration and understand their integration with Finance and others. ERP is designed as an end-to-end solution, not partially automated and mostly manual. This session covers understanding the Procure-to-Pay process, change management, requirement developments, and more associated ERP systems. The goal is to effectively communicate Procurement’s requirements, and how they link with Finance
and other stakeholders. Procurement professionals can learn the details required to implement a step-by-step process of procuring, selecting, and implementing ERP systems to maximize effectiveness to Procurement.
