Every page below starts from a symptom a controller, planner, or IT lead would describe, then works back toward the cause. In practice that cause is rarely the software itself: it is a configuration decision made during implementation, a version or patch difference, data that was migrated without reconciliation, or scope a previous partner never finished.
Use these as a diagnostic starting point. Where a problem has already cost a close cycle or stopped shipping, a structured review is faster than continued trial and error.
Costing and Inventory
Stock value, unit cost movement, and the point where inventory meets the general ledger. Most costing complaints resolve to configuration or data rather than the costing engine.

Finance
Payables matching, cash, assets, and period close. These are the areas where an unfinished implementation shows up first in the numbers finance has to sign off on.
