Running head: SELF REFLECTION ABOUT ERP COURSEStudent’s nameName of the Institute

SELF REFLECTION ABOUT ERP COURSEReflectionThe course started at a very basic level of Enterprise resource planning, common challenges during ERP implementation project, complexity of ERP projects and gradually take us to the advanced level by giving an example of SAP ERP systems. The best part I like about the course is that it improved my understanding of how the businesses are run, what is the importance of business processes and what should be the purpose of ERP systems. Actually, I feel if we need to define ERPs in 1 word, it should be collaboration. It is because traditionally different business functions use their own systems and works in an isolated manner. Each department focuses on their immediate goals without bothering about the overall picture or the higher-level goals of the organization. However, ERP systems have changed that way of working by promoting collaboration. Also, these systems should have different modules for supporting the key functions ofthe organization. For example, every organization has purchasing, accounts, sales departmentand thus ERP systems should have these many modules. Under each module, there are various functions performed by different individual and thus there should have controlled access of seeing and performing only the function they are responsible for. The best part of the course that I enjoyed the most is the business process flows. For example, the purchasing cycle consists of floating tender, shortlisting suppliers, signing contract, placing purchase order, receiving goods and then paying to the suppliers (Kofahi, & Alryalat, 2017). Also, there is master and transactional data and ERPs systems effectively manages that. Suppliers, suppliers contract, Customers, inventory items are master data that are defined once in the system and sales order, purchase order is the transactional data that will be entered based on the transactions. This helps me in understanding the information
