It could be if your ERP system isn't integrated with other systems that contain mission-critical business data.

Having data in two (or more) systems that don’t talk to one another is like baking a pizza crust in one oven and the toppings in another. Once baked, you may have food to snack on, but it sure isn’t pizza! Pizza requires the cheese, sauce and spices to bake with the crust, so all the flavors meld together when you take that first delicious bite. 

That’s the value of an integrated ERP system. When you...

Infor LN & Baan Tip: Backflushing of Materials & Hours

Why do I sometimes see small decimal quantities remaining after backflush?

This behavior is largely caused by differences in decimal quantities allowed in inventory units versus the display format of the data.
