Just Because Tuhund Can Do Something Does Not Mean It Should

Modern ERP systems are powerful. Tuhund is powerful.

It can automate, adjust, recompute, back-date, revalue and reclassify almost anything. But power without restraint is dangerous. The responsibility of an ERP is not to do everything it can, but to do only what is correct, defensible and sustainable for the customer.

Most traditional ERP systems reduce business reality into a web of ledgers. A person becomes a ledger, a product becomes a ledger and a customer becomes a ledger entry. These systems shape the business around accounting design instead of shaping accounting around how business actually happens.​

There is a common but deeply flawed belief in business that the selling price of a stock item should be based on its cost price.

Over years of experience working with customers in industries dealing with machines and spare parts, one insight has become abundantly clear:

"99% of inventory issues are human mistakes — not software limitations."

At the onset let me clarify that there can be no stockless delivery of goods. If you are creating a commercial invoice or a delivery note for goods, then the goods have to pass through your inventory. Sometimes they do not physically pass through your stores, but in records they do. In the case of indent sales, you do not create an invoice for the sale amount, but only for your commission amount. There is also no possibility of negative stock physically. Negative stock, in practice, means     ...more

Two of the important features that make ERP successful are its ability to seamlessly automate as much work as possible and to prevent human mistakes as much as possible. In certain industries, products and services bear a relation and once product is selected, selection of related services become just a decision between yes and no. “Services with products” is the mechanism of establishing these relations in ERP. It makes adding of services a matter of two clicks, saving time as     ...more
