Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
ERP extends the MRP concept across the whole enterprise. It centralises data (reducing duplication and error) and supports multiple languages and currencies for global operations. It is, however, more complex and costly to implement than MRP.

I definitely recall that centralized databases are a key benefit of ERP. I just hope I’m not mixing it up with something else!

I think the multi-lingual feature could be an advantage too, especially for global companies. I feel like I saw a similar question in practice.

I remember that ERP systems have centralized databases, which is a big advantage over MRP. But I'm not sure if that's one of the options we should pick.
