Operations: To absorb the cost of cost items into specific projects, you'll need to handle them as customized items. However, cost items cannot directly be defined as customized items. Customized items must be physical, either manufactured or purchased.

The Impact of Disconnected Data Across Your Organization

Operations Impact:

• The warehouse manager’s spreadsheet tracking inventory levels and supplier shipments is disconnected from your ERP.
• Dealer Portal Email orders need to be manually entered into the system.

Finance Impact:

• Budgeting data is maintained in isolated spreadsheets, unlinked to quotes or sales figures in your ERP.
