Mapping physical actions (parts consumption and receiving) to digital transactions requires both tech and human behavior. Usually the behavior is the bottleneck because it's a lot easier to just take a part off the shelf than it is to create a work order, define a BoM, and post a transaction to the ledgers. At places like this -- the craftsman/engineers are usually the guys with authority -- not the process guys. So they grab a part off the shelf, and try to play catch-up in Excel later.
