1C:Enterprise ERP: managing company resources in 2025

Enterprise Management 2 (1C ERP EM) is a modern ERP system built on the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform that has replaced 1C:UPP.

This solution combines a wide range of functions: planning and budgeting, production, logistics, finance, HR and CRM.

The main difference from earlier products (UPP and Integrated Automation) is that the system is designed not only for accounting but for comprehensive resource management: it helps anticipate demand, manage finances and build scenario forecasts.

The system is released in versions 2.5 and higher and is available via web and mobile apps and the 1C:Fresh cloud, ensuring flexible deployment and scaling to business needs.

Any ERP starts with quality reference data. In 1C ERP the basic ones are:

Item master — the main reference of goods and services, where item types can have batches, attributes, additional fields and accounting settings.

This enables bin-location storage, a single product identifier and the creation of resource specifications.

Partners and counterparties — legal entities and individuals are recorded with a hierarchy (holdings, branches).

For each counterparty you can specify contracts, banking details, and payment and taxation terms.

Organizations and enterprise structure include information about legal entities: authorized signatories, banking details and registration data. The enterprise structure describes departments, including production, dispatch and warehouse units, their work schedules, labor accounting and planning.

Warehouses and stores are easy to structure: wholesale, retail and shop-floor storerooms.

This enables bin-location storage, tracking of minimum stock levels and planning of transfers between warehouses and workshops.

Administrators configure access rights and function segregation: users see only the sections they need for their work.

This improves security and reduces the risk of errors.

A key feature of 1C ERP is its advanced budgeting and planning module. It is used to create operating and investment budgets, forecast income and expenses, and control execution with subsequent variance analysis.

The system consolidates data from other modules (sales, production, procurement) and builds scenario-based plans that account for economic factors.

Budgeting module functions: preparing and approving budgets; modeling financial resource flows with market changes in mind; monitoring plan execution and analyzing variances; factoring external conditions into forecasting.

Thanks to these tools, managers get a transparent picture of finances, can adjust plans and make well-considered decisions.

The sales block covers the full cycle: from order processing and issuing quotations to shipment and invoices.

The system checks stock without manual intervention, suggests current prices and schedules delivery dates.

Integration with CRM provides access to interaction history, helping to offer customers relevant products.

Functions include: managing customer orders and their statuses; tracking fulfillment and analyzing sales; pricing based on cost and market factors; demand forecasting and inventory planning.

The procurement module automates supplier selection, order placement, and control over delivery timelines and quality.

It accounts for production and warehouse needs, allows comparison of prices and terms, and automatically generates purchase requests. Features: calculating and determining material requirements; managing supplier data; placing orders and controlling fulfillment; analyzing costs of

The ERP system supports the full HR records cycle: hiring, transfers, terminations, and managing personnel files, schedules and leave.

The module lets you plan staffing needs and analyze employee productivity. Features: personal data management; tracking HR changes (hiring, transfer, dismissal); working with the staffing schedule and tracking employees' working time; staff performance analysis.

The payroll module automates the calculation of wages, tax deductions, benefits and compensation, generates the required reporting and ensures payment control.

The treasury block manages cash flows: it plans and controls fund movements, processes banking operations and monitors liquidity.

The system helps control payments, accounts receivable and payable, and manage cash flows and currency operations.

The treasury subsystem lets you manage fund disbursement requests, the payment calendar and control limits.

Controlling functions provide income and expense analysis, cost control and monitoring of plan-versus-actual variances.

Profitability analysis by business line, plan-vs-actual control and management reporting are available.

The system automates accounting for fixed assets and intangible assets: commissioning, depreciation calculation, revaluation and write-off.

This ensures data transparency and accuracy, timely equipment upgrades and sound investment planning. ERP also covers modules for equipment maintenance, transport logistics, and regulated and international financial accounting.

ERP implementation usually delivers tangible results.

According to consulting firms, projects built on 1C ERP make it possible to raise labor productivity by 17–19%, cut order processing and fulfillment times by 21%, reduce accounts receivable by 13–15% and speed up management reporting by 1.5–2 times.

A manufacturing holding integrated ERP with WMS and MES, introduced barcoding and plan-versus-actual analysis. Result: production volumes grew 50%, the product range doubled, turnover doubled, and net profit quadrupled.

A retail chain that unified CRM,
