ERP environment of financial business integration research
ERP business, financial data integration design ideas I. Introduction ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, Enterprise Resource Planning) is an important means of improving the efficiency of enterprise management, both the application of software systems, but also on behalf of a new management concept, which is based on the supply chain as the core of the process-based management ideas, and the traditional function-based management ideas are completely different. Position-based management thinking is completely different, the standardization of processes is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of ERP, the enterprise BPR business process reengineering before the implementation of ERP, to produce the expected benefits. For manufacturing enterprises, involving various aspects of production, operation and management. Enterprise ERP implementation, the need for financial data and business data to effectively integrate business information into the system can be real-time, accurate generation of financial information to achieve the unity of logistics and capital flow. If you can not restructure or optimize the business process, the process does not meet the standardization requirements, the advanced concept of ERP will not be fully demonstrated, will not be able to play its due efficiency, but only the simple application of software systems. Therefore, according to the business process of accounting process reorganization or optimization design is an important part of the ERP implementation process is essential. Research on the core of the enterprise operation process that is the supply chain link in the flow of materials and information process, as well as the ERP system to achieve business information and financial information automatically transformed method. On this basis, the design of accounting business process optimization strategy in the ERP environment is the problem to be solved in this paper. the design of accounting business process optimization technology in the ERP environment ERP system consists of a number of modules, its processing and logistics synchronization, the various aspects of enterprise production are accompanied by the flow of materials and information flow in the flow of materials, a variety of documents synchronized input into the ERP system and passed to the financial sub-system, automatically generating inquiries, management, and financial information. The financial subsystem in ERP is responsible for the integrated management of accounting information, i.e., through the establishment of data model and ****-enjoyment database, the integration, management and control of data can be realized by using unified data management and common data interface. The processing mode of accounting information is transformed from the traditional "original document, bookkeeping voucher, account book and accounting statement" to the internal management mode of "original document, database and account book and statement". Accounting business process optimization techniques mainly include automatic voucher triggering technology, accounting business diversified information processing technology, engine technology and online transaction processing technology. 1, automatic voucher triggering technology Automatic voucher triggering the design of the idea is: economic business occurs, the departmental information processing staff will be bill information into the database, the database changes in the business information passed to the ERP financial subsystem, that is, automatically triggered! Voucher template, according to the relationship between the business and the account to form the accounting data, and then fill in the summary of business documents, accounts, dates, amounts and other data into the corresponding columns of the voucher. The system will automatically generate accounting vouchers and display or print them in the form of vouchers. From the original voucher (document information) entered into the business subsystem to the formation of bookkeeping vouchers, and then to the generation of books, the essence of which is to specify the conditions from the database to pull out records and field content, automatically triggered the formation of the process, the vouchers and other data source are business documents, due to the uniqueness of the source of the data, to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. 2, the accounting business diversification The data flow stored in the information processing technology financial database not only implies the data of financial accounting matters that change the assets, liabilities and owner's equity of the enterprise, but also contains the operational details of the data required by the managers in terms of strategic decision-making, planning, control and performance evaluation of the enterprise, which is presented in a diversified manner. Information users can select various accounting processing methods to reprocess the data according to their decision-making needs and generate the required decision-making views. By introducing event-driven rules to constitute an accounting document generation method, the accounting business diversification (diversification) processing process is formed. The rules are divided into events, conditions and processes of three parts, when the event occurs, from a variety of possible conditions to select a condition, the implementation of the corresponding process, and this action may be a set of voucher templates to produce a mechanism voucher. 3, the engine technology engine (Engineer) is a connection between the database and the application system program segments, used to collect, process, and output of accounting-related information, is the Based on the database language to set the parameters of the entire application system operation module, you can reset the database structure, but also able to actively guide the design process. The engine is in an interactive relationship with the user and has a high degree of autonomy, which protects the system from damage caused by improper design. Through the engine can establish the automatic transmission of data in various links, to achieve the linkage of the various subsystems and synchronized processing.4 online transaction processing technology transaction (transaction) refers to a series of operations performed as a single logical unit of work. Is to ensure that "simultaneous success is successful, any step fails all failures" of a mechanism. A transaction often includes three kinds of action: start the transaction, submit the transaction and undo. From the beginning of the transaction to submit the transaction process occurs during all the database changes to be submitted to the database to save all the success, as long as there is a failure of an action, you must restore the state before the modification. In ERP, through the online transaction processing system (On-Line Transaction Processing, OLTP) to achieve, for example, in the bank deposits, the first to lock the account number, to the end of the deposit process before the release of the account number, to ensure that the account number and the consistency of the amount. Second, the optimization of accounting business processes in the ERP environment ERP is developed on the basis of MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning), for manufacturing companies, the core is the supply chain, including three links: the enterprise's procurement, manufacturing, sales. 1, the optimization of the supply chain accounting business process objectives of the enterprise from the procurement of raw materials and components, transportation, processing and manufacturing, distribution until the final delivery to the customer. The process of final delivery to the hands of the customer is viewed as an interlocking chain, known as the supply chain (Supply Chain). We do not look at each enterprise in the chain in isolation, but from the supplier, manufacturer to the seller, the user of the entire supply chain as an organic whole. The supply chain process is mainly composed of logistics, information flow and capital flow 3 parts. In the ERP environment. Information flow is the core, logistics is the guarantee, and capital flow is the means of realization. The effective interaction between the three constitutes a complete synchronized processing model. The traditional supply chain management deficiencies include: weak basic management, processes and systems are not standardized; low business processing efficiency, departmental responsibilities are not clear; financial and business disconnect, lagging business analysis, inventory, information transmission speed is not timely. Processing needs of a single. In the ERP environment, enterprises can grasp the enterprise production, inventory situation in a timely manner. Rapid response to customer demand, effective management and control of sales prices, management orders, delivery, warehousing, invoicing the whole process, with procurement, sales, production and other business control of materials received and dispatched, at any time to grasp the inventory, so that the account is consistent with the real, to prevent stagnant materials and inventory backlogs, reduce inventory costs. Provide data support for enterprise decision-making. Supply chain accounting business process optimization goals are: standardize the process, remove the human factor, to ensure that the basic data is perfect and error-free; reduce inventory. Through JIT (Agile Manufacturing), efforts to achieve zero inventory; accurate delivery of information within the system. Timely feedback **** enjoy, work with the financial system, automatically complete the supply and demand coordination, to achieve a seamless connection of the supply chain. 2, supply chain accounting processing process optimization design supply chain accounting business process optimization design of the basic idea is that: supply chain business process and accounting processing process integration, business process-oriented, the use of automated voucher triggering technology, business diversification technology, engine technology and online Transaction processing technology, to realize the financial and business information collaborative processing, real-time generation. The data information realizes the data entry of one party and the use of multiple parties to achieve data **** enjoyment. The integration process mainly consists of 3 steps: basic data entry design. Mainly completed on the supplier information, departmental information, staff information, material information, unit of measure information, accounting information, material supply information and other basic information entry, the accuracy of the basic information is directly related to the quality of accounting information, so it is necessary to enter accurate and complete basic information data. System parameter design. This is a key step in the optimization of the design, the ERP system to ensure that the generality, but also to meet the special needs of users. By setting up a variety of transaction processing methods, the user should be based on the actual situation of the enterprise to carefully determine the parameters, to achieve the transformation from general-purpose software to personalized customization. Such as the choice of temporary business processing, the number of early warning settings, multi-level audit settings. Of course, the design of these parameters, the difficulty of the design, the advantages and disadvantages are entirely dependent on the ERP system itself to provide the system parameters, different ERP systems and their parameters of the design principle and ease of operation is very different. Voucher template design. That is, set up the transaction processing corresponding to the accounting accounts (including general ledger accounts and ledger accounts) and the debit and credit relationships on the accounting accounts. Generating vouchers is the interface between the business system and the financial system, the system realizes the integration of financial and business data by generating vouchers in real time, and to realize real-time, automatic generation of vouchers, the voucher template setting is the key. When the economic business occurs, the voucher trigger mechanism automatically selects the corresponding voucher template and generates vouchers automatically. The voucher templates of supply chain mainly include purchase inbound voucher template, sales outbound voucher template, purchase expense invoice voucher template, payment voucher template, collection voucher model, transfer voucher model and so on. Through the implementation of the above three steps, basically able to realize the supply chain business related to procurement, production, warehouse management, sales, finance and other departments of the integration. ERP system can realize the integration of financial and business data, the engine mechanism plays a very important role. It detects changes in the data in the database in real time, once the amount field changes. It automatically triggers the corresponding code to automatically handle the bookkeeping, over the accounts business. And for the reporting system to provide the relevant report data, the results stored in the database or to form display, and at the same time through its intelligent analysis program processing analysis, to the corresponding management accounting reporting system to provide data support to generate decision-making required by a variety of statements, reports and other information. Third, the realization of the supply chain accounting business process optimization process of the development of network and database technology for the integration of supply chain information to provide technical support for the realization of ERP advanced management objectives provide the possibility of supply chain business process optimization of the basic idea is to integrate the enterprise business processing and accounting information processing process, the integration of financial accounting and managerial accounting functions, from the perspective of the overall construction of the holistic supply chain process system from a global perspective. The following is an example of the procurement process, and other businesses are described in the same way. The purchasing process of an enterprise consists of acquiring raw materials and paying cash or bank deposits, which usually includes the basic steps of ordering, auditing, warehousing, returning, reconciling and paying. According to the idea of business process reengineering, the enterprise should adjust the business process and organizational structure oriented to the enterprise's objectives and break the boundaries of traditional functional departments. A person or a work team to complete all the steps of a particular business, so that the decision-making is generated in the place where the information is generated. Bookkeeping has also become very simple in ERP systems, requiring staff to press a button to issue instructions, the entire bookkeeping process can be automatically completed by the system. In the ERP environment, you can even set up vouchers after the audit by the system automatically bookkeeping. In fact, the bookkeeping operation is just commanding the computer to make a mark on the records in the corresponding database. With the improvement of the ERP system, for a variety of possible business situations, set up the corresponding accounting voucher templates and their counterparts, the enterprise economic operations occur, the system can automatically generate accurate accounting vouchers. Or directly register the books of accounts according to the documents. For the procurement of accounts payable processing, follow the principle of decision-making in the information generated at the same time the invoice is entered, the system can automatically check the relevant purchase order and receipt of goods, three-way match, match the success of the implementation of the payment can be paid without having to wait until the Finance Department to issue a payment instruction. That is, in the processing of business documents at the same time to deal with the relevant accounting information, when the process is complete, the entire procurement process is over. Fourth, the concluding remarks in the case of the traditional division of labor in the job, the operational process is divided into a variety of simple tasks, managers will focus on individual tasks to improve efficiency, while ignoring the ultimate goal, that is, to meet the needs of customers. Through optimization design, a global idea is formed to confirm the operation process of the enterprise as a whole and pursue the global optimum instead of the individual optimum. Through the integration of business information processing process and accounting information processing process, the integration idea is utilized to integrate business processing and accounting information processing. So that the accounting business and other business synergies to achieve the optimization of the entire procurement process, accelerating the overall efficiency of the enterprise. But to complete the overall goal of the enterprise, only excellent ERP system is not enough, the modern management concept is more important.
