A web-based, easy-to-use ERP (enterprise resources planning) system extended from an open-source project SQL-Ledger.

Part is atomic unit for stock keeping unit in ourERP. Before starting to use the system, make sure the information of parts is ready. Also to ensure is the readiness of vendors and customers information
For a standard business cycle, the first step is to issue a purchase order, requesting a supplier to supply goods. Make sure the master records of vendors are ready, then it's ready to issue a PO
Then when the supplier has shipped the requested goods physically to the warehouse, the warehouse supervisor may go and execute the operation of goods receiving
Assume all goods requested are fully shipped, then accounting department can open the purchase order, transfer the entries to a new purchasing/supplier invoice PI and post it. After this point, then are created the accounts payable A/P transactions
On the other side, a standard business has sales process, selling goods to customers to make profits. Make sure the master records of customers are ready, then it's ready to issue an SO
Then the warehouse can query the open sales orders, and pick the required parts from the warehouse. When finish with the picking operation, press "Done" to ship the goods and then the on-hand quantities of the parts are deducted
When logistics staff confirm the goods are delivered to the customer (e.g. get the delivery order signed), then accounting department can open the sales order, transfer the entries to a new sales/customer invoice SI and post it. After this point, then are created the accounts receivable A/R transactions
