What is an ERP interface?

ERP Interface: Definition

An ERP interface is a connection between two components - the ERP solution and another system. An ERP system is a software solution that is available on the market from different providers and accordingly in different variants. The so-called "Enterprise Resource Planning" basically has the task to perform resource planning within a company. ERP systems consist of individual modules, which in turn use a common database and communicate with each other.

The application thus allows the entire enterprise resource planning to be mapped and managed at any time - clearly, transparently, efficiently and thus cost-consciously. Many companies already benefit from the advantages of ERP software. In addition, however, internal business processes may require the use of specific planning software for the detailed planning of limited capacities. In order to benefit from both, a corresponding interface or ERP connection is a good idea.

ERP connection for the exchange of data

ERP software as a central solution for a company therefore has many advantages - but because it reaches its limits in some areas, an ERP interface is recommended to enable data exchange with other software that is indispensable for operations. Particularly in the area of production, very specific solutions with a particularly high functional depth are available in order to be able to efficiently monitor and design processes.

Our software solution PRODUCTION PLANNING &CONTROL for manual production planning offer optimal possibilities to overview the production in real time and to keep the production transparent. Thus, the planning effort can be reduced, flexible reactions to current changes can be made and a better delivery reliability can be achieved.

Production-relevant information that may already be available in an ERP system can be transferred via direct data exchange thanks to the ERP interface and then ensure particularly efficient processes.

ERP interface in production planning: Optimizing processes

Grundsätzlich sind ERP-Schnittstellen sehr flexibel, auf dem Markt gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten sie entsprechend in Fremdsysteme zu integrieren. Die PPS-Software ist eine ideale Lösung, wenn ERP-Nutzer an typische Grenzen stoßen: Im Rahmen der Fertigung etwa sind Kennzahlen grundsätzlich vorhanden, allerdings nicht inklusive der spezifischen Maschinendaten.

Dank der Schnittstelle PRODUCTION CONNECT ist eine Echtzeit-Rückmeldung aus der Fertigung über das Modul PRODUCTION FEEDBACK von PRODUCTION PLANNING & CONTROL nicht nur an das Modul PLANNING BOARD, sondern auch an ein integriertes ERP-System möglich.

Mithilfe verschiedener ERP-Partner arbeitet wir zudem fortlaufend daran, den Datenaustausch möglichst einfach zu ermöglichen. Sie interessieren sich für eine ERP-Schnittstelle, um Ihre Fertigungsprozesse zu optimieren? Melden Sie sich für eine umfassende Beratung oder eine Produkt-Demo, wir stehen Ihnen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite!
