Complicating matters was the dummy information entered into the system when SAP was set up. That dummy data was still there, confusing the system, and it had to be expunged Testing in production, good job. Sounds like a typical systems integration fail, IT incompetents trying to hook up SAP, JDA, Manhattan, and NCR with no clue how much time and money it really takes to assemble such a complex systems infrastructure, and getting fleeced by consultants in the process.

"IT incompetents trying to hook up SAP" The major incentive for SAP is to drive customers to their consultants. It's basically designed to be impossible for anyone else to maintain, or use. Target should have modified their American in-house system instead, where the incentives align with Target running smoothly.
