Typically, what can be done with an ERP, that can not practically be
done with QB, or QB with some extensions?
Msft and Netsuit are after QB users to upgrade to their ERP product. I
suppose there must be some market for that, but I don't think it
would be that great. When I look at the intuit marketplace, and add up
the cost of QB with some extensions, I'm not sure if the ERPs have
much of an advantage.
But, I am not expert at this stuff.

I agree with you! QuickBooks Pro & Premier are great and QuickBooks
Enterprise is competing with some of those more expensive programs and
doing quite well!

Walter, dealing with one vendor is important to a lot of people.
Also an ERP product designed from the ground up will have advantages over a
general purpose one-size-fits-all with add-ons.
Furthermore if you have the option to purchase source code you can hire a
programmer to modify the program rather than to bolt on more add-ons.

Please log in for more thread options There are special editions of Quickbooks, but typically an ERP drills down to
even more industry specific levels, for example:
flat-rate pricing, maintenance contracts, special printing and reports,
compliance, inventory and warehousing, item specific
databases, service architecture to communicate with other IT applications... An
ERP may or may not have its own built-in payroll or
accounting; some can interface with Quickbooks.
