Use ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM) to save ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) app candidates to replatform.

## Before you begin

Admins must first configure the connection to the ERP system in ERP Canvas. For more information, see [Working with ERP systems in ERP Canvas](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/vSzZr5oM2tSX~5KAaE2a8Q "An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system represents a connection to a section of your ERP system of record. For example, sales orders or vendor invoices.").

Role required: sn_erp_mining.erp_user

## About this task

Candidates are custom applications in your ERP system. ERP-CM scans your system of record to build a profile based on application logs and database activity logs. ERP-CM also scans for custom applications based on customized namespaces and other criteria. Replatformed apps use the ERP system of record as the live data source.  
Note:  
If you delete a candidate from ERP-CM, it automatically reappears the next time the ERP system is scanned. Instead of deleting candidates, use the Save as potential candidate feature to organize
your candidates.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllERP FoundationERP Customization Mining.  
   ERP-CM accesses the remote table that calls the system of record instance, and temporarily mirrors that data in the ServiceNow AI Platform.
2. Select the candidates icon (![Candidates icon]()) in the side panel.
3. Select the candidate that you want to save as potential.  
   Alternatively, you can select a candidate directly on the ERP-CM home page. For more information, see [Browse an overview of candidates in ERP-CM](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/QOu8H2iM9wZjnjB_xTSmbQ "View the ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM) home page for a summary of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) app candidates to replatform onto the ServiceNow AI Platform.").
4. Select the Select as potential candidate button.  

   If you change your mind and want to remove the candidate from the potential candidates list, select the Change to draft candidate button.

## Result

Selecting a candidate as a potential candidate changes the candidate status from Draft to Potential. The selected candidate is added to the Your selected potential candidates list on the home page.

## What to do next

After you identify candidates, use ERP Canvas to view custom fields in remote and extraction tables, and add them to your ERP model. For more information, see [Building and managing ERP models to work with ERP data](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/HRzgoiy99IVfEvr_ce8MDA "ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) models function as templates for sets of tables that give you access to ERP data. Use model management to create read and update operations that access the ERP system with specified inputs and outputs to map fields for use on the ServiceNow AI Platform.").

ERP-CM also recommends possible next steps for each candidate. For more information, see [Check candidate recommendations in ERP-CM](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/07dnIOk4eBbsxihbTazdsA "Check the actions that ERP Customization Mining (ERP-CM) suggests to improve the ease of replatforming an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) candidate.").
