Sourcing/purchasing	the processes associated with identifying material and service needs, locating and selecting suppliers, negotiating contract and payment terms, and tracking to assess supplier performance.
Logistics	the function that plans, implements, and manages the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods and services from the point of origin to the point of end consumption.

ERP systems combine most, if not all, of the information neeed for a company in a single system, often replacing dozens of different systems used in different departments and applications.
