ERP Validation

When an ERP system controls batch records, inventory status, or quality decisions, it is a GxP system. We validate SAP, Oracle, and similar platforms, including SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, and SAP QM.

What We Do

What this covers

  • Validation lifecycle ownership

    We plan, execute, and report validation for implementations, upgrades, and revalidation.

  • IQ/OQ/PQ documentation

    Test protocols and evidence for the parts of the ERP that affect product quality.

  • Change control coordination

    During an upgrade, IT wants to move fast and quality wants every change documented. We keep change control moving between them.

  • Quality module support

    Configuration and validation support for SAP QM and similar modules.

  • Inspection readiness

    Keeping the validation documents current so you are ready when an investigator asks for them.
