QB vs ERP?

Typically, what can be done with an ERP, that can not practically be done with QB, or QB with some extensions?

Msft and Netsuit are after QB users to upgrade to their ERP product. I suppose there must be some market for that, but I don't think it would be that great. When I look at the intuit marketplace, and add up the cost of QB with some extensions, I'm not sure if the ERPs have much of an advantage.

But, I am not expert at this stuff.

Walter, dealing with one vendor is important to a lot of people.

Also an ERP product designed from the ground up will have advantages over a general purpose one-size-fits-all with add-ons.

Furthermore if you have the option to purchase source code you can hire a programmer to modify the program rather than to bolt on more add-ons.

There are special editions of Quickbooks, but typically an ERP drills down to even more industry specific levels, for example: flat-rate pricing, maintenance contracts, special printing and reports, compliance, inventory and warehousing, item specific databases, service architecture to communicate with other IT applications... An ERP may or may not have its own built-in payroll or accounting; some can interface with Quickbooks.
