SAP is truly terrible.

Well....

Before you say SAP is terrible, have you tried the competition?

It has some data entry screens that are super efficient, cursor always goes to the right place, tab moves you to the right place etc. 15 years and lots of ERPs later I have never seen better

When you are viewing a purchase invoice on the ledger you can see the PO it is matched to, click on it and it goes to the PO. Click a line on the PO you can see the GRNs related. Click on them you go to the actual GRNs

Oracle ERP can't do any of that.

SAP is just a skeleton and a library. How processes are implemented on it depends on the company consulting and adapting it to the business using it.

A merge between Palantir and SAP would dominate the market in a way there wouldn’t be any competitor left.
