ERP Asset Management Modules
An ERP
Asset Management Module (often integrated as part of Enterprise Asset
Management, or EAM) tracks, manages, and optimizes physical and financial
assets across their entire lifecycle—from procurement to disposal.
It bridges
operational maintenance with general ledger accounting.
