ERPDaten

ERPDaten refers to information stored and managed by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. It spans three broad categories: master data, transactional data, and metadata. Master data includes entities such as customers, vendors, materials, employees, and chart of accounts. It is relatively stable and reused across processes. Transactional data records events and activities such as sales orders, purchase orders, production orders, inventory movements, deliveries, and financial postings. Metadata covers configuration settings, data lineage, data ownership, user roles, and business rules.

ERP data is typically stored in a centralized database within the ERP and is often synchronized with external systems (CRM, SCM, payroll) via interfaces, APIs, EDI, or batch integrations. Data quality and consistency are key challenges; common issues include duplicates, incomplete records, and outdated information. Master Data Management and data governance practices aim to ensure accuracy, standard naming conventions, and a single version of the truth. Data quality is regularly monitored with metrics like accuracy, completeness, and timeliness; data lineage and audit trails support compliance.

The data supports planning, operations, and reporting: standard reports, dashboards, and analytics rely on ERP data for financial consolidation, procurement optimization, demand planning, and production control. Data privacy and security are managed through access controls, roles, and compliance with regulations such as GDPR.

Implementations must address data modeling, migration, and lifecycle management, including creation, updates, archiving, and retention. Effective ERPDaten management enables reliable decision-making and operational efficiency across an organization.
