Back then, we accepted the delay as part of the job. "It takes what it takes," we said.
Today, looking back with my Oracle ACE hat on, I want to cry.
We didn't have Orchestrator then. But if that same situation happened today—5,000 urgent price updates—I wouldn't call a team of people. I wouldn't accept a single hour of lost margin.
I would ask for a CSV file.
The gap between a business decision (negotiation) and system execution (JDE) should be zero. Tomorrow I'll show you exactly how I would build it.
If you want to know the setup, forward this. If you already use CSVs in JDE, reply "YES".
