A company has implemented a new client-server enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system. Local branches transmit
customer orders to a central manufacturing facility. Which
of the following would BEST ensure that the orders are
entered accurately and the corresponding products are produced?
A. Verifying production to customer orders
B. Logging all customer orders in the ERP system
C. Using hash totals in the order transmitting process
D. Approving (production supervisor) orders prior to production
Answer / guest
Answer: A
Verification will ensure that production orders match
customer orders. Logging can be used to detect inaccuracies,
but does not in itself guarantee accurate processing. Hash
totals will ensure accurate order transmission, but not
accurate processing centrally. Production supervisory
approval is a time consuming manual process that does not
guarantee proper control.
