China's packaging industry is entering a new development track. Challenges and opportunities coexist with new trends, new markets, and new technologies. For the packaging and printing industry, choosing the appropriate enterprise management software in a timely manner and continuously improving the digital management level of enterprise operation management are essential for successfully achieving industrial upgrading and pursuing long-term development trends. Let's take a look at the functions realized by the ERP system in the packaging industry:
1. Product Management Function
What is quite special in the packaging industry is the existence of a large number of printed products. Usually, printed products are not repetitive and have complex attributes, so the management of printed products becomes a difficult problem. The ERP system in the packaging industry should have a product management module to comprehensively manage product attributes, process card management, bill of materials, size specification sheets, process drawings, product patterns, etc., and conduct integrated management of product status, product inventory, product inbound and outbound records, product delivery records, and semi-finished product records.
2. Procurement Management Function
The packaging industry needs to purchase a variety of raw materials in different types and grades. Effective procurement management can help enterprises optimize the allocation of inventory and capital usage. Therefore, the ERP system in the packaging industry needs to have functions such as supporting inquiries and price comparisons from multiple suppliers, and reviewing the prices of purchase orders to control the prices of purchase orders so that they do not exceed the maximum price allowed by the enterprise.
3. Workshop Production Management Function
The ERP system in the packaging industry should be able to support operation plan scheduling and progress management. It can set priority production operation plans and also terminate operation plans according to sales changes. In addition, the ERP system in the packaging industry should also be able to support the management and control of operation plans for different assembly lines, production lines, and product lines according to the different characteristics of the processing technology. It should also conduct full-process management and control and quality inspection of production materials and products, so as to improve production quality and reduce production costs.
4. Order Management Function
The ERP system in the packaging industry needs to have the functions of recording, tracking, and controlling the order situation, including the execution of sales contracts; controlling the order price, quantity, and the credit management of customers and salespersons; and tracking the order completion situation at any time and controlling the actual execution of orders.
The SAP packaging industry solution used by many packaging enterprises can bring the following benefits to enterprises:

It is believed that through the above introduction, everyone has a certain understanding of the benefits that the ERP system can bring to the packaging industry.

Therefore, when selecting an ERP system, packaging enterprises also need to attach great importance to software service providers.
