• Data integrity issues to meet the requirements of Excise, and using multiple and customized software
• Non-availability of required data in ERP to generate Excise reports appropriately. E.g. RG-23D page number and serial number were missing.
• Data qualification, validation and error logging features were unavailable, and hence were difficult to meet required statutory obligations.
• Data update capability used to edit, sales return and purchase return
