There was no integration with SAP, which resulted in challenges related to stock variance in SAP and real-time reporting. Furthermore, there were issues related to unit of measure (UOM) as the supplier provided materials in boxes, but the UOM in SAP was each, which required manual adjustments before posting entries in SAP.
