You can also configure Chart of Accounts for all performance insights."

"All the features of the solution are integral to the functionality. Additionally, the navigation customization is beneficial."

"PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate."
"It would be nice if it became even more declarative in its development."
"The solution's initial setup is not straightforward."
"I think the inventory part it should be simplified. There is the GR, or good receipt note, which is the time that the materials comes in, and the work days, etc. There is a lot of shuffling through pages, which creates a lot of problems for our users. They don't know which page to go to, where to create a GR, or where to create a stock entry. In other words, all the information is very daunting. It's very easy for people to understand and get a better clarity over it."
"There can occasionally be complexity in the initial setup."
"The biggest disadvantage with things like PeopleSoft is that they do continuous support and fixes and upgrades. You get to choose when you want to implement that upgrade. However, in order to keep up, you have to upgrade."
"When evaluating the current version I am using now, the SAP GUI is old-style and needs to be replaced with something more modern and easy to use. However, the SAP GUI is very optimized for connection networks and is extremely good. Many people would like to have a WebGUI or something else to have access in a different way. Additionally, there could be some drag and drop functionality added because these features are normally in any website that this solution does not have."
"Sometimes the cost is not reasonable, such as in the case of budgeting."
"If big companies are going for SAP and they would like to install it, they should know that it still needs time. Implementation will cost a lot of money."
"The user interface could be improved. For example, sometimes you're missing some data and can't complete a task. There should be some built-in support and suggestions on how to solve your problem. I would also like the interface to be optimized to work better with mobile devices like tablets and smartphones."
"The integration with others application could be easier. There are many different features that this solution offers which could be easier to implement."
"SAP ERP needs to be more innovative when it comes to areas like mobility and the internet."
"The service could be more user-friendly in the area of transition codes."
"It is a little difficult to use."
