It would help if you gave a sample sentence where you intend to use this word or words.

@KillingTime "I have good understanding of the Order Management module." When I used this, MS Word suggested me to use "I understand the Order Management module".

In everyday English it is most common to say “I understand politics” for example, but you can also say “I have a good/bad/excellent understanding of politics”. This is more typical in formal language (in a job interview, for example).
I corrected it to "I have good understanding" and it worked. Thanks.
