Subjects

Overview

The Subjects module is a core component of the SDM ERP system dedicated to managing Subjects records. It exists to digitize, organize, and streamline the administration of Subjects, ensuring that the educational institution can securely track, manage, and retrieve this data efficiently.

Business Use Case

This module provides a single source of truth, automating related workflows, ensuring data integrity, and significantly reducing administrative overhead.
