ERP Spreadsheet Workarounds
Companies struggle with ERPs that are underused, over-customized, or poorly integrated, forcing staff back to spreadsheets and manual work.
In their words
Implemented in May. Hasn't closed any monthly books. Huge data issues with shopify.
We really can't afford a "one-and-done" solution that leaves us hanging.
I'll pull a number and then open a separate spreadsheet to double-check it before any real purchasing decision
I'm stuck with an expensive brick that does seem to have a lot of potential, but only if I decide to spend several thousand dollars paying someone in their company to set it up for me.
This thing is so bad it outputs reports as if they are written by a typewriter.
We have our manufacturing ERP on prem in the UK, can they access that or do we need to instruct someone else to set that up in the us as well?
He has a team of 4 that manually sling stuff from dynamics to Sage.
They ended up hiring a company at mega bucks to clean up the mess and perform the proper training; it took over 2 years.
there is no way for me to view cash transactions by project only a consolidated view
Simple tasks that should take less than 5 minutes with one basic form, like putting a hold on suspect stock, require clicking buttons on 20 different pages and entering/re-entering the same information multiple times
everyone found their own way of doing things instead of using the system we already have
our schedule lives in one tool and the actual production/ERP stuff in another, and they're never in sync
no matter what systems companies implement, behind the scenes they usually still run on spreadsheets. Moving people away from that is where the pushback starts.
Finance and operations teams
Where they talk
- r/Accounting
- r/Odoo
- r/manufacturing
- r/Netsuite
- r/ERP
- r/FPandA
- r/sysadmin
- r/managers
Tools they use today
- Excel
- NetSuite
- SAP
- Odoo
- Google Sheets
- ERPNext
- Power BI
- Sage
Why those fall short
- client's ERP refuses Excel or any software the accountant has seen
- New system output slightly off; fields unmapped; no subledgers; plugs to balance
- no implementation plan or transition; systems don't reconcile
- system does not support basic requests; reports incorrect; externals cannot submit claims
- migrations still take a month of hell
