Question

Suppose it is 4:00 p.m., September 29, 2008. Fitter Snacker’s CEO sends this e-mail message to the accounting manager: “I need to meet with the Board of Directors tomorrow morning. The Board members are concerned about the current sales of our energy bars. They would like to see sales data for today, 9/29, as a typical day. Please complete the attached report and have it on my desk by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, September 30.” The blank table shown in Figure 1 is attached to the memo.

Given the company’s sales order data-processing practices, why won’t the accountants be able to easily accomplish this task? Cite the practices that cause difficulty, and explain. If FS had an ERP system, why would this task be easy to complete?
