Recommend first running a scope validation with a clear owner, defined common data/process boundaries, stop conditions, and expansion thresholds, rather than locking in enterprise-wide ERP immediately; since process differences across the four business units, root-cause attribution, and cost-benefit evidence have not been verified, the irreversible risk of full rollout at this stage is too high

Human-controlled next action
Assign finance and technology teams to complete a review of process/data commonality across the four business units within a short timeframe, and triage manual reconciliation and delay issues into four categories—system, process, data quality, and accountability—as input for scope validation
What would reverse the recommendation
If subsequent evidence shows that (1) the scope validation itself lacks clear stop conditions and expansion thresholds, causing the timeline to extend indefinitely, or (2) the differences across the four business units are concentrated mainly in a few isolable regulatory/product items rather than being widespread, then reconsider whether to lock in the common core directly and handle exceptions in parallel, rather than insisting on the two-phase path of validate-then-decide
