No, but the terms are closely related and often used interchangeably. Just as SFA is a component of CRM, accounting software is a component of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software systems. By most definitions, ERP includes five types of integrated business software systems, which are accounting software (sometimes called financial software), distribution software (sometimes called supply chain management software), human resources software (which includes payroll software), manufacturing software and CRM software.
