agree. it's very impressive how SAP maintains multiple ledgers for different regulations in different countries. i'm not going to replace that any time soon. i think even tesla uses SAP for accounting, but something like this for the rest.

Is there a reason for such an arrangement? Why would Tesla not use SAP as their backbone ERP too?

  • Customising SAP is like setting money on fire but the core of it is rock solid.

    • Yeah, but we're talking Tesla here, not some run-of-the-mill carmaker. In fact, given SAP's rep in German manufacturing, they might have even been a net positive for Tesla.
