On the ERP stuff I've done a lot and it's usually the reason stuff gets buggy and 'hard'. Stuff like say realistically you have to complete an order of say 10 linear feet of rope but it comes in packs of 6 so they have to order 2 but the sales rep said they'd sell the remainder on another work order etc etc.
The ERP you might have one guy that's on oracle, another on something custom, and these systems all interface differently.
Another is in the quoting process if you are making quotes that are timely or have an expiration. Some things just take a lot of foresight when you set out to make them.
It's just so insane how fast lawyers can bring the image, will and industry at large to it's knees. I think Apple's legal team should really take a hint (and a hit) from all of us in this industry. You're hurting Apple and the entire dev community more than you're helping.
