# Working with ERP systems in Zero Copy Connector for ERP

A Zero Copy Connector for ERP \(Enterprise Resource Planning\) system represents a connection to a section of your ERP system, such as sales orders or vendor invoices.

## ERP systems organize connections to the ERP system

The Zero Copy Connector for ERP system plays a crucial role in data synchronization, sharing, and collaboration, enabling seamless integration and operation between the model and the connected ERP system.

Zero Copy Connector for ERP provides a standard set of models, such as SAP Material Stock and SAP Purchase Document. For a list, see [Standard extraction tables for Zero Copy Connector for ERP](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/erp-canvas-standard-extraction-tables.md). For information about building new models, see [Create a model](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/erp-integration-framework/erpc-add-new-data-model.md). Use Zero Copy Connector for ERP data products, sets of predefined models and process extensions, as examples to help you implement and deploy applications with less manual work.
