Do you know about using ERP system? I hope you can explain more about it?

Not really ;=s. I mean, implementing is certainly not easy and, besides, each ERP is different in may ways. In principle, they all do the same: manage resources and give reports. Each business is different so it's hard to give a straight answer.

Try to google a bit.

I tried TinyERP and It's hard to understand. The ERP system is not easy to using.

Try reading the wiki! It's useful and interesting.

Dear friend... As you know, in an organisation there are many functions (Departments). People in each function do a different KIND of job. Each category of job requires a separate software. But at the same time every one working in that organisation are under one umbrella. Moreover each function has a link to another. ERP helps people in each function to perform their work with separate softwares (Modules as in SAP). Along with this ERP gives necessary links between each such software. Now... please understand that there are really no different softwares. It is only one huge software (Umbrella) which facilitates use of software to do all/every function in the organisation. For eg SAAP has many modules eg Finance, HR, Logistics etc. Why don't you start trying TINY demo.

Note that this is a very old howtow (in software terms)

. TinyERP seems to have been replaced by OpenERP.

Therefore, with thanks to hermitminer for explaining ERP to those who are unfamiliar with it, I'm going to close this one.
