Chapter 2 | Overview

Epicor ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is the next generation solution developed by Epicor Software Corporation. It introduces a total manufacturing solution for the mid-market segment. It is considered to be a premier ERP program. This means all of the available modules that make up the database interface with each other with no additional programming.

You can run the Epicor ERP application using the two modes which control the visual design, user interaction and navigational aspect of the application - Classic Menu and Modern Shell Menu. The Classic Menu user interface is a traditional way of navigating around the Epicor ERP application, using a basic tree structure and folders. The Modern Shell Menu user interface includes an enhanced menu and a Home Page that serves as your starting point and a place to keep your favorite Epicor programs, application shortcuts, documents, or pictures.
