Abstract

Many factors are effecting to the successful Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP). Quality Control and Quality Assurance is the most important point for successful and effective   ERP system.  Quality Control of ERP system mean detecting and removing defects from the system and Quality   Assurance   mean plan and systematic approach to ensure the   ERP system process.  To ensure about   quality   of   ERP   it must concern about Data Quality. Data Quality is measurement of value of a specific set of data, utilized in a specific manner towards a specific goal. It is highlighted in ERP due to the increasing amount and diversity of data as well as data’s critical impact on success of ERP systems.  Since that for successful, effective ERP  systems  it is not  enough to take  reactive  actions  for data  quality  issues by Quality  Controlling.   It must focus on Quality Assurance methodologies to achieve high Data Quality of ERP.
