How can new users come to understand an ERP system?

In using an ERP system, arranging training for the organisation’s staff is essential, so that staff can use the system efficiently.

Once staff can use the system on their own, studying from the manual is another way that also helps staff use the ERP system even better.

Both training and studying from the manual are two methods to use in parallel for building staff’s ERP skills within the organisation.

This article will discuss the advantages of both arranging system training and studying ERP use from the manual, as a guide for those who must work with an ERP system, so they can use the ERP system at maximum efficiency.

The topics discussed in this article are as follows:

1. Arranging training

2. Studying ERP use from the manual

The details of each topic are as follows:

1. Arranging training

Arranging training in an ERP system is usually a complex process and requires a great deal of information so that new system users can learn the usage process well. Arranging training usually consists of many steps.

Arranging training usually consists of many steps, starting from preparing the data to be used to train system use. This includes preparing accurate and complete data, so that the learner can use the ERP system correctly.

Next, choose a training process suitable for the organisation, such as online training or live-teaching training.

The advantage of arranging training is that it can check the system’s performance at the same time. For example, if a bug occurs during training, or a usage problem occurs, the ERP vendor can send the various problems arising from system use back to the development team to fix and improve the system’s performance.

2. Studying ERP use from the manual

Learning to use an ERP system, for some people, can be fun and challenging. Once a system user has been trained on using the ERP system to the point where they can use it on their own,

another way to help improve ERP use is studying ERP use on one’s own from the manual — starting by reading the manual carefully to understand the basics and the various steps that must be done to use the ERP system.

After finishing reading the manual, try following the steps the manual recommends. This helps the user gain real experience and understand the steps in practice even better.

In summary, for new users who want to build their skills in using an ERP system, they should have both attendance at training and study from the ERP user manual in parallel. This will let new users who are just starting to use an ERP system use it at full efficiency.
