Abstract

ERP packages are complex in nature. Requirements Engineering RE and Configuration can be termed as two knowledge phases in an ERP implementation. During RE, needs and requirements of various stakeholders are identified and documented. Configuration phase uses information generated by RE phase. Hence the RE techniques should be able to capture configuration specific requirements. But it turns out that RE techniques do not capture configuration specific information completely. Thus, there is a gap between the information captured during RE phase and the information required for configuration. To minimize this gap, a solution called Data Activity Model for Configuration DAMC is proposed. It is validated by professionals mainly consultants and program managers for various ERP vendors.
