• I underestimated how much raw material I had on hand and now my customer’s order is waiting on hold until I can get the parts I need.
• I couldn’t meet the desired delivery date for my customer’s order, so they took their business somewhere else.
• I ordered too many raw materials or made too many sub-assemblies because I didn’t have good visibility to my on-hand inventory.

From time to time, your employees need access to information related to logistical and financial transactions that have occurred in the past. Before you archive or delete this information, you must understand the need for this information.
