Produce a single, unified view
An overarching goal of your wish list is to decide on a financial or accounting system that captures all the transactions within the company and then insert it naturally into a chart of accounts that can easily be reported on, such as with SAP or Oracle. With enterprise resource planning, the data warehouse that sits on top of it should cleanse the data in order for the system to analyze it in a format that is digestible for the information to be extracted and formatted.
