How many widgets have we transferred to acme this year?
Simple enough question right?
But then when you look at the data, each region works with acme's local offices differently. Some transfer using one method, some offices mark the transfer in the system as "other firm". Oh, and we don't even get a data feed from the north west region because they still haven't upgraded their shit so I can request a spreadsheet but it's in a different format than everything else.
Then inevitably Acme has a different number of widgets that have been transfered. Because if a transfer gets kicked back or cancelled, it's easier to just create a new transfer rather than go fix an old one because that process is laborious and requires tons of approvals so they just create a new transfer and send it over.
But yea, 20 minutes should be enough time to get you that before your meeting with Acme.
