I agree with Leah. I am trying to get those handling the ERP system to resolve a issue I foresee happening when the 810s go live that involves the allowances and charges at the item level. Right now we are in the development phase so it is not critical, but once in production it will become a huge problem if it is not resolved now. They are fully aware of the problem and will address it, but like all the other departments demanding attention, we will have to wait our turn. I agree that it's our responsibility, as professionals, to guide our management into making considered, and rational, and hopefully wise, decisions. But I can only lead them not make them and that is what is most frustrating. No matter how many times I bring this up, it is merely acknowledged and they move on. All I have been able to do is document it so if this isn't resolved until we move into production I can act quickly to implement my part of the needed solution.

Chris, You've posted valuable responses several times in the past, but not so often that I understand your tone and email is a difficult medium for conveying expression accurately. You'll notice I put the "wrong" in parentheses, mainly because, depending on the business, you might or might not be. Mostly, I'm a little frustrated with so many responses focusing on the translator as the issue and how to "fix" that. I like to think we're a more enlightened and experienced bunch, looking at the big picture. In my experience, managers, at least the non-techies, want the fast and easy fix, without thinking through the ramifications to the business. I feel it's our responsibility, as professionals, to guide our management into making considered, and rational, and hopefully wise, decisions.
