Both words refer to something that appeared earlier in the text or conversation. „Erwähnt“ only says that something occurred earlier, while „genannt“ identifies or specifies the person or thing more precisely. Use „erwähnt“ when simply referring back is enough, and „genannt“ when you want to make exactly clear what you are referring to.
