I see the implementation of the ERP system
Foreword often see what the error related to ERP always feels nothing, so personal opinions with practical participation experience, I hope to discuss and exchange opinions with people who are interested in people; talk about ERP, first we want to explore why Implement an ERP system? What goals we have to achieve after the ERP system implementation? How much budget is company prepared? Company has the available resources available? How much do we want to complete the ERP online? I know yourself and know each other, don't understand your needs, don't understand your strength, don't throw your money, so as to avoid labor injury to money.
Some of the issues listed in the process of implementation are the problems that have emerged during the process, and some are the projects you must consider first. Are you ready to pay attention to the development of the project, are you ready?
ERP system implementation range (mating schedule decision) computer equipment assessment, operating system selection, database selection, ERP system selection, manufacturer brand selection, basic hardware capacity demand assessment, expansion capability assessment. Assessment and consultation, the consultation or the date of the consultant shall evaluate and choose the current operation process, document process, and the system to improve the business survey of various departments before signing up, or based on daily settlement. Reserved or consolidated the project team personnel selection, the project team organizational architecture, the functional special person to the process, system, change management and choice project control on the implementation scope of ERP system and the quality of the method for confirmation consultants attendance and output assessment of old information Conversion, who is responsible, which department is co-ordin, does it need to enter a personnel, need those information field content? Where is the device ready? How does data conversion? Do you need additional costs, or develop programs? The main data sheet format, the content design and the delivery of the user collects the time point and time length of the user collects data, printing, filling, training, training, and starting to formally effective, document flow
How to improve users' participation, reward, punishment is compatible with how to ensure that participant is not flowing (mobilizing, separating ....) After the system design is complete, how to train users, training documents? People arrangement? Training venue? How to excessively handle whether it takes a parallel job? How to implement it? Doone adequate? How do people move? How do I transfer? Advisor? File handover? Implement process file modification and archive
All of the above issues are probably divided into stage and implementation stages. Before signing the contract, it is a complete consideration after signing the contract. After the two stages have been complete consideration, they will be giant and the metrics are giant. Arrange to make sure the implementation of the ERP project.
After the implementation of ERP
Implementation of ERP has a thorough feeling, and also summarizes the problems described above, but can you understand our feelings? Or do you still have a lot of confusion? Here we use the entire process as much as possible, maybe it may help you avoid the revision. We found several consultants in the ERP assessment stage, report different ERP products, including SAP, Baan, Oracle, and visited the end users of each product, and finally the SAP system, which does not evaluate the product, only Say that this product can meet our needs, as for the consultant company, we have chosen an international consultant company (P), as for him, think they are international, human support, and many implementation experience, The person in charge of China is a foreigner, perhaps in abroad, but in China, its experience is not necessarily useful. In fact, they don't understand the industry characteristics of our company, so the company's experience is also emission, many times in language communication It is also an obstacle. When local technology can not resolve all traffic during foreign support, you have to bear it, so you better don't be superstitious about foreign companies or well-known companies, it is more than your own payment, then you will be Worried about domestic technical capabilities? In fact, don't worry, those big companies are also invited domestic people to do projects, especially SAP projects are purely experienced, and they will be practiced. I tell you that big companies are sometimes throwing your project, and collect your consultant Feel, do you understand? If the consultant does not have the same industry experience, then don't recognize the brand, find a small and medium-sized consultation you will serve you as God. When we decided to finish the product and consultation company, we will decide the hardware equipment, we evaluate the UNIX platform and NT platform, at the time, in order to cooperate with the budget, we decided to use the server of the NT platform, and selected HP equipment, after all, HP is a well-known big The company has installed the structure to ensure the system is stable. In fact, we only do one thing, then choose a well-known product company, others have wrong places, wrong there? First of all, you have to pay so much money to use the software, or the consultant fee is not to spend more money to buy the hardware to buy it, but actually to cooperate with the budget to use a set of equipment that is not really suitable for company needs? Secondly, the hardware assessment has to consider the service of the product, and we should consider the service after the product. After the Cluster structure, we found that the DOWN machine accident is constantly, there is no effect, and then undo the settings, I am not negating the Cluster function, It should be dependent on the characteristics of your company's business, can tolerate how long stopped, if you are a banking, the securities industry, then you must take the design of the Non-Stop, otherwise it should be considered.
Another point, how high is the computer hardware configuration, how big is the capacity, how is the expansion performance in the future? We consulted the consultant company to give suggestions. As a result, we have made their experiments, so the initial configuration needs, it is best to find a household SAP system for more than a year, their experience is precious, because they may have paid After tuition, I will talk about the consultant candidates. I also mentioned that the consultant company is very likely to arrange some handsome to do projects, so we ask them to provide a list of consultants, and then listen to them according to their experiences they have done. Evaluation, in the project implementation process must not be changed in the middle, otherwise the new and old handover is big, but this can not completely avoid (due to personnel left), and then, the consultant is sometimes a consultant and several projects, which may Just appear in the water, so you have to make regulations in the contract. Is your computer sector? Need to increase? If you can find a person with relevant experience, otherwise you will find college students in the school's graduation-related department. They have strong learning ability, high plasticity, strength, and no bad weather, it is suitable; if people find it in I have not started, what should I do? Don't worry, I will find them into various departments to understand various businesses, understand user needs, make a complete survey report, which is a system survey, and help them understand the company's business operation, and on the other hand, consultants will come back to investigate them. Immediately propose demand data; Next, the consultant is signed, in fact, the most complicated signature, but also to be the most cautious, if it is best to find the company's legal consultant to participate in the provider, the signing should include the project implementation scope (Scope )
In fact, there is a heaven and earth, which is the service scope. How do we know that data conversion should be saved, report development, data transfer, plug-in system development, make you ride difficult, money money is money, so clearly explain white , The heart wants to spend, don't take a pen. Is it the horse? Yes, are you ready to take your head? Still have a planned implementation? Let the advisory company propose a detailed implementation plan within the few days, check my previous question, still there is still an omission, don't make a mistake, what is the attention of the attention is not a matter of the project, not the project, the general consultant There will be a set of implementation methods. SAP has provided ASAP method. At the beginning, consultants provided their exclusive methodology. As a result, we are also the first employee, which is the experimenter; everyone will learn together.
Start, don't worry, where is the project member? The user is also Key User, who wants to participate, who is better? The various departments suggest, tell you that these people are not a headache, who are doing a holiday in the month, so you are responsible for the project, you better personally talk to them, see if they are competent, otherwise your day is ... ...
Another point, the user representatives of various departments must be able to do decisions, because in the future, the process change is involved, and the information is collected. There is still a person can't come in, and you can't pay for it. Who is that? Of course, it is the general manager. When the success or failure of the project, the general manager plays a key role, tens of millions of projects, and the survival development in the future does not pay attention, how many spent people know that you value this project, only Xu success is not allowed Failure, failure, is that some people have to leave the current position, not a threat, tell the facts, of course, there is a stick to have carrots, reward, set the reward target, sign restriction employee flow, to compensate, for the completion of the goal Bonus work, victory only belongs to people with a target, the first lesson, training, training lecturer? Low hand? Is the textbook ready? How many copies do you understand? What do I mean Chinese or English? You said that you can understand, I know, is the user as a smart as you know? Where is the classroom? Is there a networked, have you built a username, computer equipment is not enough? Is the server to meet the needs of the students? By the way, we thought that we were very smart to borrow a training for training. At the beginning of the machine, the results did not respond to SAP messages, and later restricted the number of other people, thousands Wanxo don't do it. Tell you a secret, we will temporarily translate Chinese at the time, in order to understand the user, the translation is the secretary of the company, and other college students who have just graduated, how do you guess? ...
There is another thing, the teacher is determined before class, because the consultant company and SAP also cooperates with the division of labor in TEAM SAP. Class is very painful, especially those who engage in production, let them participate in the Fi (financial) course, this is really torture, so the project team should also distinguish the content of the class, do not have to participate, and find the right person to learn. Good results. Next, the consultant will start investigating the needs of users, as well as understanding the company's current business processes, make a report, of course, will automatically help you delete a lot of unnecessary work (they are very smart), in fact Users should also bear a responsibility, because they are unclear, and they are afraid that they are fried in the future, so it is best to watch the lively, and the consultant company is also happy to cooperate. After understanding your company's current situation, the consultant will then make your needs into the be Bee, then you have to understand what will be made in the future, you have the right and obligations to understand, but thousand Everything is stubborn, because ERP has never been computer operation, and also includes institutionalization, process change, foreign management spirit, but consultants will sometimes be large due to their understanding of the SAP system, so how to pinch Also controls. Our company has brought us another to develop freight billing management system, which has been spent and laborious. Later, we only discovered that the customer took the freight, and then transferred to the transportation company but increase the billing operation, and improved the invoice rate to the tax. It is really not good to eat, so the user's needs should also review this opportunity to reach rationalization, simplify unnecessary work. In fact, our company still has a lot of rational space. If your company is not willing to cooperate with reform, it will not have to engage in ERP, as long as you buy a general management software to achieve your goal. That again, the report is a headache problem, because the paper size, arrangement combination, thousands of strange, but collect analysis, finally decide whether to cancel, merge, all spend hard, after the development cost, SAP spirit is Instant view of the data is immediately viewed by the resulting summary information, and the report should be carried out as much as possible to abolish the standard analysis of SAP unless it is necessary to declare data to the national government. Our reports have been assessing the development of a consultant for 17 days. They develop a report for a report, enough for a programmer for a year. Consultants will then begin to set up a background parameters, and our computer units also participate in the assistance test while ensuring technology transfer. During the system settings, it is best to have a dedicated management change application and file archiving, otherwise the file will appear inconsistency, or cannot track the original record. In general, the consultant is ignored your company's data, so data collection, conversion, input, check, all you want to think early, data is divided into static and dynamic data, static data can be prepared early, but dynamic data It is necessary to wait until the online, for example, material basic information, manufacturers, customer basic information such as static data, receivable, account payment, inventory, etc., the data is dynamic data, and the data is collected too early. Unewhere, static data is preferably prepared for two or three months, so as to avoid data disorders, of course, if you have an old system to provide conversion, you don't have to worry, as long as you export it.
When you need to enter data, it is also that you have to consider increasing the human hand, these inputs can use temporary hiring, and we must assist the system import work in the future. When the system is online, it assists the parallel operation, and the system is officially operated. Finally, in these people, they choose to leave available talents, while eliminating the unbearable collection of unbearables. Key User, here to cooperate with the test system, but also prepare training materials after completion of the test, and return to other colleagues in the department; for those who do not participate in this item, the company also schedules computer training work, including computer operation , Daily shutdown, simple principle, mouse application, let them basically use the computer, otherwise SAP training will happen in the future. There is another thing if you don't care, that is, the document design, so when you determine the business blueprint, you will start designing documents and documents, and the document must be considered at the same time, flowing to those units, documents, documents, document size, After the system is online, there is still a user reflecting the paper too much too waste or documents. They are not used, and then improve. In addition, the SAP system is very important for the use of measurement units. He provides basic units and sales, different units of production room, but if you choose the wrong measurement unit, you want to modify it, you will make you hurt myself, because You have to end all orders, return the quantity, re-enter the original order. The unit price approval method is generally not more than two ways of moving average unit price and standard single price. Our company has taken mobile average price, but the SAP system is changed to standard unit prices, and it is never compliant in the financial account. I don't dare to give up the manual account. In fact, we also explore the mobile average or standard unit price. You must have a high level of user level, otherwise each warehouse will affect inventory. The library will also record the cost of the time. If any inclination error must be disrupted, all the vouchers of the incorrectly, and rescate all the credentials that have just been improper, the standard unit price is actually a better choice. When the purchase cost and standard unit price are different when the warehouse is different, it will automatically record the differential subject. On the one hand, you can view the size of the difference and do tracking processing. On the other hand, the cost of material consumption can also be automatically shared by differential accounts. . Honestly, there is no need to use the average price of moving average price, because the unit price of the raw materials is ultimately only to calculate the cost of product, only reflect the average cost of the stock, if the market supply is unbalanced, (such as oil prices) market price The cost will be improved, can you reflect the long-term product cost? Moreover, the financial regulations still have advanced first, and then the first outline, weighted average method, etc. Regarding another value, it is also necessary to be cautious. He also is also difficult to modify as the above two points. Each material sets an appraisal class. The type of mobile phone with the material determines the accounting subject. If the estimated class should be adjusted, involving past Data must be removed (archive or delete) to ensure that all related dynamic data can be made after a blank, including inventory, sales orders, purchase orders, or receipt, etc.
The last sprint before Go Live is the collection of dynamic master data. Collection should be considered, and the content, the time point is very important, you must plan the working time of data conversion, and the certificate must be posed to ensure the old system Synchronize, as for the collection content, depending on the module of the last line, including the financial summary, payment, account balance, etc., there is a purchase order in the ORDER, and Open Order. , Sales orders, uncharged invoices, have been received, and have not paid goods; in general, the final material data will be a counter, for unpredictable orders, can be careful, After taking the inventory, then replenish the relevant order, you can also import the relevant order, but also import, but the financial part makes the corresponding account adjustment, in the future, in a non-SAP mode, the financial and inventory must have a consistent accounting In order to avoid notblesting in the future. If everything is under control, now I should consider Go Live, first you have to train your underlying users to operate this system, you have to guide their entire SAP system's job process, and tell them how to fill in the documents, all columns The meaning of the representative, and provides a complete code table, otherwise, what company code, mobile type, material number, cost center will not fill it, do not know what is the meaning, how to go online? Second, is there an old system to handle in parallel operation, is the human load sufficient? During the parallel operation, we used Temporary Lord to collect the original document of the original document, and the evening concentrated personnel arrived in the training center. Many people even worked to zero 3:00 (including day users), so my personal opinion is Try not to do parallel operations, don't make a time to ensure that the input is correct. If the data is found to adjust immediately, we also printed the statistics in addition to the two data, and the daily print data is consistent, after two After a month, changed to the new system to deal with the old system. After a month, I officially abandoned the old system. The cost of success is a heart, and I have a full effort to reach the goal, but the so-called success is still big. The road to the section needs to develop, maybe this is just one of them, there is a good start, and it is better than not good. Our computer department played the role of pulling, from the head to the tail computer department, and sometimes do all the work well, only request users, some users will actively learn, and some will negative It is very afraid that the company is not guaranteed, I think the company spends so many expense purposes in management reform, so for people who cannot actively cooperate with competency should adjust their positions to avoid hindering earth operation. Will you ask us to implement the effectiveness after the SAP system? In fact, I can't tell you in detail, but can mention a few descriptions: can provide immediate and accurate inventory data to apply for sales business financial data loops according to product inventory, synchronize billing shortening customer workflow, reducing customer complaints acceleration Financial settlement reports increase the consistent cut of financial accounts and sales departments, and the consolidated unnecessary unit employee computer operations improve the communication and improvement of the company's communication and improvement, and provide a variety of sales, inventory, finance. analysis report
