Garbage in - Garbage out is a cliche about ERP systems. But very few companies consciously take care of their data entry quality. Here are some of the best practices for Data entry management.
Most of the Management Information System (MIS) reports are analysed based on these options.
If these masters are not filled correctly, the reports will not give you the intended benefit.
Example: Reason for rejection master which is used in daily production.
Some users are not aware of the importance of filling the form completely. All they want is a successful submission of the form.
It is important to check user wise data entry trends and train the users if required.
Every form has to be correctly entered. Wherever required, comments and remarks in detail should also be entered.
Quality of data entry is even more important than completing the data entry.
Also key figures like inventory and pending orders will go wrong. MRP cannot be run on incorrect inventories and open documents.
Thus it should be mandatory to enter data in real time. The likelihood of the data being authentic also goes up if it is entered in real time.
Managers are expected to demand correctness and thus install the culture of taking data entry seriously.
Everyone agrees that Data is the new oil and thus your source of unlimited wealth, especially in the era of Artificial Intelligence. But very few are aware of the hygiene required in data entry. We hope this article will raise the awareness and OurSys users can then reap the full benefits of using OurSys ERP.
