That might actually describe a pretty good implementation of an interface to SAP.

I think pencil is more efficient than SAP.

I agree and it's quite resilient to digital outages/downtime (at least in terms of hours, probably not more than a few days) so your manufacturing productivity won't drop to zero when the ERP system goes down. The paper logs can also be entered later when the system comes back up.

As we've seen in the Iran conflict, datacenters are a target and result in extended outages.
