# ERP

##### What is ERP?

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), also known as a financial system, is the term used for software that manages a large portion of a company's business processes. ERP is not necessarily a single product, but a combination of programs that work together.

It is also quite common to refer to simpler systems that only take care of orders, inventory, and accounting as ERP systems. The accounting software is typically fully integrated with a document center that handles the control and approval of incoming invoices. The payroll system is often connected to an expense reporting system that handles expense reimbursements, per diem, and allowances for business trips.
