Question 21 - Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) is a system that links the basic MRP system to other company systems, including finance, accounting, purchasing, and logistics. MRP II has evolved into enterprise resource planning(ERP), which provides a complete linkage of all functional areas of a business except:

	ERP allows manufacturing to see new orders as soon as marketing or sales enters them into the system;
	Sales can continuously track the status of an order;
	Sourcing has visibility into the materials that manufacturing needs;
	Distribution has data on when and where materials and orders need to be delivered.
	Accounting gets all financial data within 30 days of relevant transaction occurs.
