You might be juggling: - Make-to-stock and make-to-order strategies. - Complex project-centric processes. - Revenue recognition and milestone tracking for proper project billing. BOMs are a whole other challenge, with subassemblies and layers of detail that need careful management. Have you encountered some of these complexities in your ETO processes?
