That is my understanding of SAP and the limits with it. As it was explained to me you can change a program, but it will need to report the exact same way (formulas that come up with the same answer) as the current one does. We will do some of that, I am sure. I was actually very surprised with SAP. I learned a lot of the guys that designed the system at my wife's work. Heck it took them almost nine months go get it up and running and even after it was on line they still verified the numbers for another six months with another system. They have found errors in their templates but to fix them they need to fix programs like Solomon etc and not SAP. FWIW
