SAP Cloud ERP

I have been using SAP in my business planning role for our heat pump business in the uk for around 8 months now, and speaking of it my relationship with the tool have gone through a number of phases. First few months were a bit painful, I literally thought in a world led by AI driven solutions why this. the interface is not intuitive and there is no shortcut to learning it, you just have to put long hours in. Bit it clicked in over time, especially working with people having years of experience in it, it becomes indispensable. The nature of my job needs me to keep jumping back and forth between account level information: tracking what our installers and merchant partners are placing orders for, what has honestly been siting within the pipeline. where the gaps lie against our forecasts- and sap is one place where it all sits and lives in one place. I have heard from my teams, before we had proper visibility in the system, a lot of that reconciliation was happening in spreadsheets being emailed around, which was a nightmare for them to plan with long lead times and real constraints on the supply front. So to sum it up, it is not the prettiest of tools and I wouldnt call it enjoyable to use, but for some aspects of my role, i really struggle to function without it at this point.
