    Abstract

    ![CDATA[In recent past, there seems to have an increased demand for improvements in current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions. One potential area is enhancing existing master and transaction data models in ERP. This paper presents an integrated approach to represent both master and transaction data, which in turn helps improving applications within ERP system environment. Master and transaction data are modeled using unitary structures, integrating individual data elements and structures and associated functions. Functional tasks of transaction data are incorporated at structural level for improved planning and scheduling of components, such as component allocation and goods receipt processes in the production order cycle. Further, enhancement of master and transaction data can allow for forward planning of many components involved in various functional applications in ERP. Thus, potential improvements include simultaneous planning of many components (materials, resources, operations and project activities), forward planning across many applications and finite loading of resources as part of overall planning. The implementation of unitary structures in an ERP system can be carried out using additional links between existing data models. Once developed and implemented in an ERP system, data and information are visible and transactions associated with them are more flexible.]]
