ERP semantic dictionary

The AI2COE ERP glossary is a semantic dictionary for ERP, AI ERP, source-system readiness, module workflows, source objects, controls, KPIs, and governed agent boundaries. It helps buyers connect terms such as material master, purchase order, goods receipt, journal entry, work order, approval workflow, and audit trail to evidence-safe AI2COE product and diagnostic routes.

Featured definitions

Core terms that matter before industrial AI adoption begins.

Industrial AI Readiness

Industrial AI readiness is the ability of an organization to deploy AI on trusted data with clear owners, controls, and measurable business value.

Industrial Decision Intelligence

Industrial Decision Intelligence (IDI) is the organizational capability to convert industrial operational data — from ERP, EAM, CMMS, and procurement systems — into structured, auditable, executive-grade decision evidence across asset performance, maintenance strategy, procurement optimization, inventory management, and enterprise risk governance.

ERP Data Quality

ERP data quality is the completeness, consistency, uniqueness, and trustworthiness of records used by enterprise systems.

Material Master Data

Material master data is the ERP record set that defines materials, spare parts, units, valuation, purchasing, plant views, and inventory controls.

Working Capital Exposure

Working capital exposure is the inventory value potentially tied up in duplicate, redundant, slow-moving, excess, obsolete, or poorly governed records, interpreted as a finance-review signal until source data, criticality, demand, condition, and owner decisions are validated.

Human-in-the-Loop AI

Human-in-the-loop AI keeps accountable people in the review path before AI findings become operational action.

Confidence Tiering

Confidence tiering classifies duplicate findings by evidence strength so obvious duplicates and review candidates are separated.
