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’m not entirely sure about the cheaper implementation part. I thought ERP systems were generally more expensive than MRP systems.

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.
