Apache OFBiz is an open-source ERP system written in Java and built on a suite of enterprise applications that integrate and automate many of an enterprise's business processes. It supports business cases for CRM (Customer Relationship Management), E-Business / E-Commerce, SCM (Supply Chain Management), and MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning).
The main advantage of OFBiz is that it comes with a set of pre-built components for standard ERP functionality, and complex ERP infrastructure is already in place and ready to use out of the box. Organizations can leverage these pre-built components to get an ERP system up and running quickly without developing everything from scratch.

Accounting - General ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, invoicing, expense management. Provides capabilities for managing finances.
Manufacturing - Bills of materials, work orders, manufacturing scheduling, routing, and costing. Supports manufacturing operations.
Inventory Management - Warehouse and inventory management, cycle counts, inventory transfers. Handles inventory and fulfillment.
Catalog Management - Product catalog, catalog browsing, price management. Enables e-commerce storefronts.
