Improvement of Operational Control Processes
The conventional product estimate procedure was not the only managerial accounting procedure that became insufficient in the new spirited and scientific environment. Operational control processes, with their comprehensive periodic summaries of financial presentation, were slow in forwarding summary information and were not sufficiently linked to nonfinancial data- bases, such as supply and logistics. Accordingly, remedial actions were not taken on an appropriate basis and were made with curtailed information.
As a result, organizations have implemented endeavor reserve preparation systems to integrate their financial data with their inventory, logistics, orders, and often with human possessions information systems Thus information has evolved from aggregated monthly or weekly information to real-time, online, and disaggregated The net result was that new processes did adequately categorize the source(s) of favorable and adverse presentation.
Real-time ERP systems also changed journal performance reports of many operating departments that had become filled with prize allocations, so that managers were being held accountable for performance that was neither under their control nor incurred by their operations. ERP systems allow elastic reporting such that managers are held answerable for only that which is under their control. The prizes of business- or factory-level capital, such as the heat and lighting in the building or the landscaping outside, are due to personage departments even though the departments are not directly responsible for this expenditure. Their incurrence can be traced to the proceedings taken at the individual departments.
