1. International ERP challenge. There is special term to check on readiness of ERP and Accounting application to local country requirements: Localization. ERP localization includes two parts: local language support and compliance with local accounting, ERP, Sales/VAT/GST taxation legislation
2. Local Language support. This is often more complex than you expected. If you look at ASCII table, where each character is in essence is covered by one byte, or 8 bits – please know that not all World languages are standardized in ASCII. There is such term as Unicode, where each character of all World alphabets (including Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Arabic, Japanese, Armenian, Georgian) is coded in two bytes. If ERP doesn’t support Unicode (which is often the case, as majority of ERP applications are matured and were coded many years ago) – you should be more creating in ERP selection process for your overseas branch, where local language requires Unicode
3. Microsoft Dynamics GP as your Corporate ERP in USA. Formerly this application was known as Great Plains Dynamics or eEnterprise. It was coded in Great Plains Dexterity and Dexterity in turn is the shell programmed in C programming language in earlier 1990th, where Unicode was not yet introduced. Great Plains is localized for most of English speaking countries, South East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Pakistan), Spanish speaking Latin America, plus French Canadian version is supported. You can also translate Dynamics GP screens to ASCII compliant alphabets – this includes most of the European Latin and Cyrillic based: Polish, Czech, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Serbian, etc.
4. SAP Business One. This small business ERP and MRP is Unicode compliant, and you can easily export or integrate SB1 transactions to your Dynamics GP GL via GP Integration Manager. SAP BO is very efficient in international business ERP scenarios and it has relatively low software licenses cost and short implementation cycle. Please, feel free to call us for SAP B1 and Great Plains tandem international implementation case studies and FAQ
