Ten years in SAP working on FI, SD and AA. (not anymore, I'm done with that)

The post triggered PTSD and I want to go home and cry. You created your double entry, cool, now let's split it (because of million reasons) and add taxes. So now we deal with a basic 25 line document where some lines are doing nothing but move funds through certain tax accounts. Oh, no, there is a typo, but we cannot just create the reversal because for some accounts, the transaction should stay reflected in turnovers, for some it should not and for most it depends on fiscal period and stuff.

Don't forget that everything varies between countries. With all that let's create a financial statement for eg Walmart (who has every line item sold posted to SAP system when you buy things at store)

On the other hand, people who work on that don't think GPT will make them jobless. Also, I recall how a major client postponed adoption of a new reporting platform because it meant for them layoffs in accounting department and accountants started to sabotage the whole thing...
