ERP Internals/Modules

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

A "module" is a group of related programs performing a major function within an ERP. Since there is no particular order that makes sense, we have chosen to list the modules in alphabetical order. Some of the decisions about what constitutes a module are arbitrary. Since an ERP is designed to accommodate a variety of industries, not every enterprise would use every module.

Module Documentation Layout describes how the information about each module is organized.
