What is Enterprise resource planning (ERP)?

Definition

Enterprise resource planning is software that runs a company's sales, purchase, stock, production and accounts in one system with one set of data.

Instead of separate spreadsheets and tools, every department works on the same records, so a sales order can trigger stock reservation, production and an invoice without re-typing.
