Use this structured resource to screen ERP options against trading workflows, data, controls, integrations, implementation and support needs. Confirm definitions, scope, roles and professional responsibilities before operational use.
Treat the resource as a governed working document with explicit scope, ownership and approval.
Define the business units, locations, document types, reporting period and users covered. Record exclusions and assumptions rather than leaving them implicit.
Use approved master data and source documents. Keep stable identifiers, effective dates, status, ownership and evidence references separate from free-text notes.
Run representative records through define selection scope, prioritise workflows, prepare test scenarios, assess vendors, validate references, approve the decision. Keep rejected, incomplete, duplicate and corrected records visible during review.
Assign a version owner, reviewer and next review date. Protect formulas or controlled text, retain prior approved versions and document every material change.
Use each component to connect operating data, evidence, accountability and review.
