We are just a month and a half away at work from going live with SAP on the first of four programs to convery and our second round of testing is starting up. During the first part of this week we have been validating data downloads and at first glance I am concerned. Our first go around with the data validation, four months ago, found very few errors and the errors we found were expected and not a big deal, we could correct the errors after go live without much difficulty. This time we have found multiple errors with no consistency from one set of work instructions to the next. Engineering has been making changes and Manufacturing Engineering has been incorporating those changes without a formal release of the Engineering models. Data validation from the beginning of conversion through the actual go live should be getting better not exponentially worse and now the time spent working on this is encroaching on my fun time at home as now it is bed time.
Have a great evening
