Definition/Description of the Market
Cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) for product-centric organisations as a market for application technology that supports the automation of operational and financial processes related to the production, distribution, delivery, and servicing of goods. ERP is a basic technology for operating organisations. Cloud ERP is provided by the implementation of a cloud service application.

The fundamental capabilities of product-centric cloud ERP suites consist of the following:
Operational ERP: Supply chain and manufacturing-related skills, including demand management, order management, material requirements planning, inventory management, supply chain/direct procurement, production control capabilities, and distribution/logistics. Financial accounting, subledger accounting, consolidation, and financial reporting are functionalities of financial management. 

Optional features of cloud-based product-centric ERP solutions include:
> Management of purchase requests and purchase orders for indirect commodities, services, and capital equipment.
> Human capital management (HCM): For operational resource cost management and staffing.

Modules such as those used for configure-to-order, make-to-order, and field service management; and wider application solutions such as those used for enterprise asset management (EAM) and product life cycle management are examples of specialised, industry-specific modules or applications (PLM).
