The Role of Artificial Intelligence in ERP Automation: State-of-the-Art and Future Directions

Sunil Kumar Sehrawat

Abstract


As enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems continue to serve as integral components of organizational infrastructure, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in automating and enhancing ERP processes. This article provides an extensive review of the current state-of-the-art applications of AI in ERP automation, encompassing various functional areas such as finance, supply chain management, human resources, and customer relationship management. We examine how AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, and robotic process automation, are being leveraged to streamline ERP workflows, optimize decision-making, and improve operational efficiency. Additionally, we explore emerging trends and future directions in AI-driven ERP automation, including the integration of advanced analytics, cognitive computing, and autonomous systems. By synthesizing insights from academic research, industry reports, and practical implementations, this article offers a comprehensive overview of the role of AI in shaping the future of ERP systems and provides valuable guidance for organizations seeking to harness the transformative potential of AI in their ERP initiatives.
