This project report deals with the use of SAP SD module for the marketing in any
organization. It contains the definition of the, enterprise structure, organization
management, sales organization. In enterprise structure we define the company, company
code, sales area and shipping point and the assignment of these areas with the company
code. We also define the distribution channel; division .Integration of subgroups is done.
In sales order cycle, we show how the sales process takes place in any organization.
In this report we also show all related transaction codes and path in the enterprise
structure, master data, sales document style, sales order cycle. We have also given the
different screen shots of different paths and features.

SAP, started in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany, states that it is the
world's third-largest independent software vendor. The original name for SAP was German:
Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte. It means "Systems Applications and Products." The goal of
the company was to provide large enterprise customers with the ability to interact with a
corporate database in real-time. Today, the company states that its goal is "to offer the industry's
most comprehensive portfolio of business performance and optimization solutions for companies
of all sizes."
SAP's first software application was a financial accounting software suite that ran on
a mainframe and was known for its stability. It eventually became known as the R/1 system. The
"R" stands for real-time. During the 1980s, the company went international, and the second
iteration of the R system (R/2) accommodated different languages and currencies. In the 1990s,
the third iteration (R/3) moved from the mainframe to a client/server three-tier architecture
composed of a database, software applications and a common graphical user interface (GUI).
SAP used the name R/3 until the 5.0 release. At that time the name was changed from R/version
to ERP Central Component (ECC). The most current version as of November 2009 is ECC 6.0.
When the Internet became pervasive, SAP responded by providing companies with the software
they needed to sell goods and services online. Their product portfolio got a Web interface and
was rebranded MySAP.com. MySAP was designed to be a corporate Web portal with role-based
permissions for employees . The company promoted how SAP "solutions" could link commerce
conducted over the Internet (e-commerce) with traditional bricks and mortar commerce to
provide one seamless view of the business. Next came SAP NetWeaver, the company¶s
development and integration platform and middleware component, and Business Suite, a
bundling of SAP¶s enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management
(CRM), supply chain management (SCM), product lifecycle management (PLM) and supplier
relationship management (SRM) applications. In 2008, SAP purchased Business Objects, a
French enterprise software company that specializes in business intelligence (BI), which marked
c
a major change in the company¶s BI strategy, which was previously focused around SAP's
Business Explorer tools.
SAP NetWeaver - service-oriented technology platform (SOA) for integrating information and
business processes across diverse technologies and organizational
structures. NetWeaver provides the foundation for other SAP software bundles.
SAP Business Suite - software applications for large organizations and international
corporations. The applications support core business operations such as supply chain
managment, warehouse management, sales, customer relationship management and
administrative functions. SAP offers software for 25 vertical industries, including banking,
insurance, chemicals, healthcare, retail and consumer products.
SAP Business All-in-One solutions, SAP Business ByDesign and SAP Business One - software
products that address the needs of small and mid-market companies.

Technology playing a major role in today's business environment. So many companies and
corporations have adopted information technology on a large scale by using Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) systems to accomplish their business transaction and data processing needs. And
in this technology SAP R/3 plays a significant role when compared with other similar tools.
ERP system takes a lead role because of some of the following reasons
Many large corporations use several different and separate information systems, often because
they have merged with and/or acquired other companies with varied systems. An ERP system
integrates these separate information systems and results in improved data reliability and
processing efficiency. ERP systems are not only used by large corporations but becoming
popular with small to mid-sized companies also.

Integration can be the highest benefit of them all. The only real project aim for implementing
ERP is reducing data redundancy and redundant data entry. If this is set as a goal, to automate
inventory posting to G/L, then it might be a successful project. Those companies where
integration is not so important or even dangerous tend to have a hard time with ERP. ERP does
not improve the individual efficiency of users, so if they expect it, it will be a big
disappointment. ERP improves the cooperation of users.
[4..+!+
Generally, ERP software focuses on integration and tend to not care about the daily needs of
people. I think individual efficiency can suffer by implementing ERP. the big question with ERP
is whether the benefit of integration and cooperation can make up for the loss in personal
efficiency or not.
04,+!
It reduces cost only if the company took accounting and reporting seriously even before
implementation and had put a lot of manual effort in it. If they didn't care about it, if they just did
some simple accounting to fill mandatory statements and if internal reporting did not exists of
has not been fincancially-oriented, then no cost is reduced.

Same as above. Less reporting or accounting personnel, but more sales assistants etc.

No. People are accurate, not software. What ERP does is makes the lives of inaccurate people or
organization a complete hell and maybe forces them to be accurate (which means hiring more
people or distributing work better), or it falls.

This entails software, hardware, implementation, consultants, training, etc. Or you can hire a

What exactly is SAP System Landscape? How does this phenomenon differ from SAP System
Architecture? In this posting, I intend to answer the above mentioned, closely related questions
in a very concise manner, with particular emphasis on the system landscape of SAP. Often times,
SAP users, especially new comers misunderstands the two concepts.
The SAP architecture is typically the technology framework of the SAP system. SAP's
architecture unlike the system landscape has changed over time (and more recently) with the
advent of SAP ECC.
In a priorposting, I "x-rayed" they system architecture of SAP R/3.
They system landscape basically is the set-up or arrangement of your SAP servers. Ideally, in an
SAP environment, a three-system landscape exists. A three-system landscape consists of the
Development Server-DEV, Quality Assurance Server-QAS and the Production Server-PROD.
This kind of set-up is not primarily designed to serve as server clusters in case of system failure,
the objective to enhance "configuration pipeline management".
*+ #c2<,

c Y-
At this juncture, it is important to state that a test system - Sandbox can also exit separately. The
essence of the sandbox is to test the configuration of the business processes of a company,
especially at the inception of the project (before the Business Blue Print is signed). It can also
serve as a practice environment, even after go-live.
Pipeline is the environment where the configuration in the development system is moved to the
quality assurance system and finally to the production system. The whole idea is to ensure that
the configuration of these systems is in sync at any point in time. Suffice to say that,
configuration/changes are first made in the Development system, thoroughly tested in the
Quality Assurance system before been loaded into the production (Live) system.
This approach throws up the transport management system concept. Transport management
system is the coordination of the movement of objects and configuration changes from the
development system to the Quality Assurance system and then to the Production system. At
times, this sequence of movement is not possible, especially in cases where an SAP note
mandates that changes be made directly on the production system.
In such rare cases, objectively confirm that the change transport cannot be performed. Very
likely, your system must have been configured to"not modifiable"(a system locking strategy
that enforces the three-system landscape change transport rule); unlock the system by changing
the global setting option to"modifiable"using transaction SE03. After you have done that, effect
the change(s) on the system. Immediately lock the system back by changing the global setting
option to"not modifiable"using transaction=0. Replicate the changes on the other system.
Note that transaction-can also be used to lock the system so that client dependent and
independent configuration changes are not carried out directly on the production system.
By and large, the SAP system landscape ensures that the integrity of data is enhanced via
enforcing a controlled configuration changes effect on the target system - production.

In this phase you plan your project and lay the foundations for successful implementation. It is at
this stage that you make the strategic decisions crucial to your project:
Establish the project organization and relevant committees and assign resources
,!,,#*!
In this phase you create a blueprint using the Question & Answer database (Q&Adb), which
documents your enterprise¶s requirements and establishes how your business processes and
organizational structure are to be represented in the SAP System. You also refine the original
project goals and objectives and revise the overall project schedule in this phase.
#; !
In this phase, you configure the requirements contained in the Business Blueprint. Baseline
configuration (major scope) is followed by final configuration (remaining scope), which can
consist of up to four cycles. Other key focal areas of this phase are conducting integration tests
and drawing up end user documentation.

In this phase you complete your preparations, including testing, end user training, system
management, and cutover activities. You also need to resolve all open issues in this phase. At
this stage you need to ensure that all the prerequisites for your system to go live have been
fulfilled.

R/3 System clients have an independent status both in legal and organizational terms. The clients
within the system can be distinguished by a three-character, alpha-numeric code and are defined
in Customizing.
#!===
Client 000 is the SAP standard client. The SAP original system is held in this client. Client 000
contains default values for all tables. SAP updates the default values with every system upgrade
and release upgrade.
#!==3
c Y
The content of this client is the same as the 000 client. You can do your customizing in this client
in order to adjust the standard system to your requirements.
Clients are a technical structural feature of an R/3 system. The system makes a distinction
between client-independent and client-dependent elements. Client-independent elements are
objects that are used in all clients. Client-specific elements are objects that are only used in a
specific client.
^ data structures, such as field definitions, table structures, and file set-ups
^ client-independent tables
^ transactions
^ programs
^ Standard reporting
^ Authorization objects
^ R/3 library
^ client-specific tables that must be copied from the original client, that is, client 000
^ HR master records
^ user master records
^ Authorization profiles
^ customer-specific programs
The following factors must be taken into consideration when you decide whether or not to create
a client:
c Yè
^ You cannot perform reporting across all clients, and you cannot receive or assign client-
independent access authorizations.
^ You cannot exchange data between clients.
^ If an employee moves between two clients, you must assign him or her a new personnel
number.
* !+
Within a client the company code represents the highest level of the enterprise structure. In
Customizing, the company code is defined by a four-character, alpha-numeric code.
In Personnel Administration, the company code has the following control functions:
^ The company code is used to generate default values for data entry, for example, an
employee¶s payroll accounting area.
^ The company code is a selection criterion for reporting.
^ The company code constitutes an authorization check unit.
At the company code level, the following control features are assigned which are relevant
for Personnel Administration:
^ the default country key for the employee¶s personal data, address data, and bank data.
^ a default value for the currency key for employee¶s basic pay.
^ a language code for text output, for example, employee remuneration information.
c Y
This language code is not the same as the logon language, which determines the language used in
the on-line system.
c,!!#
Personnel areas divide a company code into sub-units. The individual personnel areas in a
company code are defined in Customizing and have a four-digit alpha-numeric identifier.
^ The personnel area is used to generate default values for data entry, for example, an
employee¶s payroll accounting area.
^ The personnel area is a selection criterion for reporting.
^ The personnel area constitutes an authorization check unit.
c,!!#,
Personnel subareas are a subdivision of the personnel area. Organizational control of the main
HR subareas, namely the pay scale and wage type structures and work schedule planning, takes
place at the personnel subarea level. In Customizing, the personnel subarea is defined by a four-
character, alpha-numeric code. The respective country-specific control features are stored here.
^ Specifying the country grouping; this controls the dialog for entering country-specific
personnel data and the setting up and processing of wage types and pay scale groups
in payroll accounting; within a company code, the country grouping must be
unambiguous
^ Assigning a legal entity to differentiate between the individual companies from a legal
point of view
^ It specifies groupings for Time Management. This enables you, for example, to set up
work schedules, substitution types, absence types, and leave types on the basis of a
specific personnel subarea.
^ The personnel subarea is a selection criterion for evaluations.
c [
^ The personnel subarea is used to generate default values for pay scale area and pay scale
type for an employee¶s basic pay.
^ It specifies the public holiday calendar.
^ Defining personnel subarea-specific wage types per personnel area

centerprise structure is organizational structure that represents an enterprise in SAP R/3
system. It consists of some organizational units which, for legal reasons or for other specific
business-related reasons or purposes, are grouped together. Organizational units include legal
company entities, sales offices, profit centers, etc. Organizational units handle specific business
functions.
We must set the enterprise structure correctly in the first place. The change of it usually requires
a great effort and very time consuming. To set it up correctly we must have a comprehensive
knowledge about the business processes and how to map it to SAP configuration.
A specific organizational unit is defined by a specific function or module in SAP. Company code
is defined by FI module. Plant is defined by Logistics function. Storage Location and Purchasing
Organization are defined by MM module.
In SD module we have to define Sales Organization, Distribution Channel, and Division. We
have an option whether to use Sales Office, Sales Group, and Sales Person or not.

When you create a company you should bear in mind the following points relating to group
accounting:
^ If your organization uses several +#!,, the companies which only appear as group-
internal business partners, and are not operational in each system, must be maintained in
each client. This is a precondition for the account assignment of a group-internal trading
partner.
^ Companies must be cataloged in a list of company IDs which is consistent across the
group. The parent company usually provides this list of company IDs.
^ It is also acceptable to designate legally dependent branches 'companies' and join them
together as a legal unit by consolidation.

A Company Code is a unit included in the balance sheet of a legally-independent enterprise.
Balance sheets and Profit and Loss statements, required by law, are created at company code
level. The Company Code is the smallest organizational unit for which we can have an
independent accounting department within external accounting, for example, a company
within a corporate group (client). In SAP, a company code is represented by a unique 4-digit
alpha-numeric for a specific client.

A plant is the place of production or simply a collection of several locations of material stocks in
close physical proximity. A plant is represented by a unique 4-digit alpha-numeric for a specific

Division is a way to group materials or services. A wide range of materials or services can be
divided into divisions. A material or service is always assigned to just one division.
In SAP SD, the use of divisions allows us organize our sales structure around groups of similar
products or product lines. We can define a division-specific sales structure. Within a division, we
can also carry out statistical analyses or devise our own marketing strategies.
In order to adapt the functional scope of a division to the organization in your company, you
should process the following check list:
^ Allocate a business area to a division from a plant. This way, business area account
assignment can be carried out for transactions in Materials Management. As of Release
3.0, the business area is determined in Materials Management from the division and the
valuation area.
^ Define master data within a division for customers as well as your own +!!, and
pricing.
^ Create shared customer master data and conditions, which apply to several divisions,
using a common division.
^ Define for each sales document type that all items of a sales document must belong to
the same division.
^ The division is used as a selection criterion for lists of sales documents and the work list
for deliveries.

Sales organization is the basic organizational element in SD. All sales documents are created
for a sales organization. Sales organization can be defined based on:
The above sales organizations have been created because of following considerations ±
c å
^ Within a sales organization, you can define your own master data. This allows a sales
organization to have its own customer and material master data as well as its own
conditions and pricing.
^ Define sales document types within a sales organization.
^ A sales organization is the highest summation level (after the organizational unit
Client) for sales statistics with their own statistics currency.
^ To sum it up, the zonal nature of the organization structure is mapped using sales
organizations.

Distribution Channel is an organizational unit that represents the channel through which the
materials or services reach the customer, such as wholesale channel, direct sale channel, retail
channel, etc.
c åè
A distribution channel can be assigned to one or more sales organizations.
In order to adapt the functional scope of a distribution channel to the organization in your
company, you should process the following check list:
^ Within a distribution channel, you can define master data for customers or materials as
well as conditions and pricing.
^ Create master data for a representative distribution channel which is then also used in
other distribution channels.
^ All items of a sales document belong to a distribution channel. The entire sales document
is therefore entered for a distribution channel.
^ You can determine the printer destination for messages differently for every distribution
channel on the basis of the sales and billing documents.

example, a group of employees responsible (only) for organizing urgent deliveries.
You assign a shipping point in the SAP System at plant level. A shipping point is a physical
place and should be near the delivering plant. More than one shipping point can be assigned to a
plant.
We can also assign several plants to a shipping point in the SAP system.
In order to adapt the functional scope of a shipping point to the organization in your company,
we should process the following check list:
^ The shipping point is the top level in the organization for shipping.
^ A delivery is always initiated from exactly one shipping point. Thus, all items of a
delivery belong to one shipping point. Groups of deliveries also belong to exactly one
shipping point.
^ The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing depending on
the plant, loading group and shipping condition.
^ The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for lists of deliveries and the work list
deliveries.

Now the next and very important step is to assign all the codes with each other making the
assignment in all required fields:
In the step "Assign plant to company code", you assign each plant to a company code.
You can use this step to define the allocation of sales organizations to company codes. This
establishes a link between the SD and FI systems. A sales organization belongs to just one
company code.
c --
In thisstep, you allocate the distribution channels to a sales organization. In this case, as many
distribution channels as desired can belong to a sales organization. In addition, a distribution
channel can be valid for several sales organizations.
In this step, you allocate as many divisions as desired to a sales organization. Any one division
can belong to several sales organizations.
c -
Use this step to assign any number of plants to a combination of sales organization and
distribution channel. A plant can be assigned more than once.
c -
Now go to business area account assignment for defining rules by sales area
For business area account determination, you have to define for each sales area the rules
according to which the SAP System should find a business area.
Note
^ If you do not specify a rule for a sales area, account determination cannot be carried out
for each business area.
^ Currently you cannot change the rules for determining the business area in Customizing

A material can be sold through one or more distribution channels in one or more sales
organization. To allow it, we have to maintain the material master data for each combination of
sales organization and distribution channel.
We can set different data of a material for each combination sales organization and distribution
channel, such as: ³minimal order quantity´ and ³minimal delivery quantity´ data. By doing so,
for example, a material must be ordered by customer minimal 1000 PC for wholesale channel
and 10 PC for retail channel (assumed we only have one sales organization).

To create a customer master data you have to maintain atleast 3 required mandatory fields
1 General data- address, fill data, all other fields can be left blank
2 sales area data- in sales ± customer pricing procedure, shipping- delivery priority shipping
condition, billing- in co terms, terms of payments tax documents partner function
In the SAP System, all business transactions are posted to and managed in accounts. You must
create a master record for each account that you require. The master record contains data that
controls how business transactions are recorded and processed by the system. It also includes all
the information about a customer that you need to be able to conduct business with him.
In the following steps, you make the settings for preparing to create customer master records. To
do this, you need the following objects:
^
!"
The number range determines the number interval from which the account number for the
master record is to be selected. The account number must be assigned when creating a
customer master record. Using the number range, you also determine whether the
numbers are assigned internally by the system or externally by yourself.
^ ++!"*
The account group is a grouping of properties which control the creation of master
records. It determines which fields have to be or can be filled when creating the master
record. A number range is allocated to the account group. The type of number assignment
and a number interval are determined using it. Accounts which require the same master
record fields and use the same number range are created using the same account group.
^ #, ,
The field status definitions determine the status of the fields on the screens for the master
data. You define the status dependent on the account group. You can also determine the
status dependent on the processing type (transaction) and on the company code.
c è
^ How many number ranges do you need for your customer master records?
For the size of the number intervals, you should try and take into consideration not only
the current customer master but also future developments.
You must create at least one account group if you do not use the groups available in the
standard system.
The number of number ranges gives you an initial clue as to the number of account
groups. Your number ranges are allocated to the account groups. If you have determined
that you require several number ranges, then you must create at least as many account
groups so that you can use the number ranges.
The number of account groups which you need also depends on whether you use these
groups for the layout of the screens. For example, in the standard system two account
groups are recommended: one group for standard accounts and another group for one-
time accounts.
^ Should the screen fields have a special field status dependent on the account group?
You can also define reference account groups for one-time accounts. You can use these to
control the fields of the one-time account screen so that, for example, certain fields are displayed
as required fields or are hidden.
When creating a customer account, you must specify an account group. You can specify a
reference account group under "Control" in the "General data" part of a one-time account's
master data. If you do not specify a reference account group, then, as previously, all fields of the
one-time account screen are ready for input during document entry.

In the following menu options, you define the rules according to which automatic partner
determination is to be carried out.
When creating a customer master record, the SAP System proposes the allowed partner functions
to be maintained. According to the rules defined here, the partners are adopted from the customer
master records of the sold-to parties into the sales and distribution documents.
c [
You have to edit the following points for the function "Partner determination":
^ Partner function
You define with the help of the partner function which functions exist for the partners (
customers, vendors, employees, and so on) in your system.
You allocate the permitted partner functions to every account group customer.
^ Function conversion
You can define the key of the partner functions according to the language.
^ Partner object
Partners are possible in the customer master record and the so-called partner objects in
the sales and distribution documents . Select a partner object and define the rules for
partner determination for this object.
You define partner determination procedures which contain all the allowed partner
functions for every partner object.
^ Procedure allocation
You allocate each partner determination procedure to an actual partner object using a key,
for example, to an account group customer or a sales document type.
Partners are contained both in the customer master records and in the sales and distribution
documents . You define partner determination for each of these objects individually.
^ sales document

p item
^ delivery

Only when you have checked and, if necessary, changed the partner determination for all the
partner objects is the function "Partner determination" completed.
In the transport, all objects maintained for partner determination are transported. In the

For each item, the SAP System determines the shipping point when processing a sales document.
You can change the shipping point in the sales document manually. Shipping points are
maintained in Customizing in Section "Create shipping point".
The specification of a shipping point is required for creating a delivery for an order item.
The automatic determination of the shipping point depends on the following criteria:
The delivering plant is automatically determined by the SAP System in the sales
document item, on the basis of the ship-to party and the material. You can manually
change the delivering plant of an item.
In the following menu options, you define the shipping conditions, the loading groups and the
rules for the shipping point determination. In addition, you can specify a shipping condition for
particular sales document types.

The Pricing function is a method of determining prices using the condition technique. SAP
Enterprise Buyer uses Pricing when purchase documents are being created, for example, when a
shopping cart or purchase order is created. The system automatically determines the gross price
and any surcharges and discounts that apply to a specific vendor according to defined conditions.
The system uses the gross price and these surcharges or discounts to determine the net price.
^ !!*
A condition type serves to differentiate between prices in the system. You can define a
separate condition type for each type of price, surcharge or discount that may arise in your
business transactions. The condition type defines, for example, a discount as a fixed
amount or as a percentage.
^ ++,,9!+
An access sequence is a search strategy with which the system looks for valid data for a
specific condition type. You can define an access sequence for each condition type. In
Enterprise Buyer the access sequences are predefined, changes are not intended to be made
by customers.
^ !! #
A condition table contains price information on a master data type, for example, on a
product master. If you define a product price or a special discount, for example, you create
condition records in the relevant condition table.
And Externally
c+!"!#
The following steps describe how you should set up pricing control in the system.
You should be familiar with the pricing criteria before making the necessary settings for pricing
in the SAP System.
Check how prices as well as surcharges and discounts are created. For example, determine
whether different prices apply to individual customers or customer groups and how surcharges
and discounts are calculated.
c
Check whether separate pricing is carried out for individual business transactions. You may levy
specific freight surcharges for rush orders, for example.
Specify at what point in time prices are determined (e.g. for sales promotions, price increases,
etc.). Also clarify who is responsible for determining prices.
Afterwards, adjust your pricing dependencies to the pricing criteria in the SAP System. To do
this, see the following steps.
.!!! #,
In this IMG activity, you define price dependencies. You can make prices, surcharges, and
discounts dependent on almost all the fields in a document. You define these dependencies using
the condition tables. In a condition table, you define the combination of fields for which you can
create condition records
c
c Y
.!++,,9!+,
The access sequence is a search strategy which the SAP System uses to search for condition
records valid for a condition type.
For example, you can define for a price that the SAP System first searches for a customer-
specific price and then for a price list price.

Price elements are represented in the SAP system byg condition types. Price elements can be, for
example, prices, surcharges, discounts, taxes or, freight, and are stored in the system in condition
records.
You can, for example, define whether a discount is calculated as a percentage or a fixed amount
using the condition type.
You specify an access sequence in every condition type. Thus, you define which fields the SAP
system checks when searching for a valid condition record.

In the pricing procedure, you define which condition types should be taken into account and in
which sequence. During pricing, the SAP System automatically determines which pricing
procedure is valid for a business transaction and it takes the condition types contained in it into
account one after the other.

Scheduling agreement is a long term purchase agreement, where you will keep issuing
the delivery schedules whenever there is a change in requirement or at predetermined
time intervals. The delivery schedule can be on hour/daily/weekly/monthly basis. But it
will contain different zones viz. firm/tradeoff/Forecast. Firm zone schedules are
confirmed requirement and need to be taken by ordered party. Tradeoff zone requirement
is to purchase the raw materials and ordering party is liable to pay raw material cost, in
case of requirement cancellation. Forecast zone requirement is to help the vendor to plan
his requirements.
SA is also an agreement with the vendor for the supply of material, may be a quantity or
value. The delivery dates will be maintained in ME38 ref the SA which are called
delivery schedules. So you can maintain the delivery schedule and communicate the
vendor on Forecast basis or JIT basis. And when you need some more material then will
only create SA deliveries using ME38. SA could be of 2 types:- without release

1. Integration can be the highest benefit of SAP. The only real project aim for implementing ERP
is reducing data redudancy and redudant data entry. If this is set as a goal, to automate inventory
posting to G/L, then it might be a successful project. ERP improves the cooperation of users.
2. I think individual efficiency can suffer by implementing ERP. The big question with ERP is
whether the benefit of integration and cooperation can make up for the loss in personal efficiency
or not.
3. It reduces cost only if the company took accounting and reporting seriously even before
implementation and had put a lot of manual effort in it. If they didn't care about it, if they just did
some simple accounting to fill mandatory statements and if internal reporting did not exists of
has not been financially-oriented, then no cost is reduced.
5. What ERP does is makes the lives of inaccurate people or organization a complete hell and
maybe forces them to be accurate (which means hiring more people or distributing work better),
or it falls.
