My new company masters required me to order a new office chair. So using their online ordering system, I order a nice new Kinnarps chair. It all went through the requisite bureacratic approval process until it reached the India-based Finance group. Here is their response back to me. I have not a bleedin' clue what it means but maybe the answer is "7" .... or what do you think it means?

This is with regard to the PO SBE1364150( PR5415445) for KINNARPS (UK) LTD is stuck in ECF due to "plant 80A1 not defined (please check your input)" as the plant
80A180010000TH00 is not set for the Porg P062 which is selected. Hence for setting the Plant 80A1 for porg P062, the concerned team need Plant details such as plant name and address .

Request you to fill in the details in the attached form. The PO can be migrated to SAP only if the PO is cleared from our ECF.

It is these sort of processes where you simply give up and end up sitting on a chair with only two wheels and half a cushion because it was easier to just leave it as it was  Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!

Been through the same process a few months back

It was a busy day too, and it is a comfy chair which does become a little too comfy when you recline with a cup o tea and a chocolate chip cookie in your hand Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
