A VP demands a consolidated customer sales report across product lines across different divisions. He wants it by the end of the week. Energetically you dig into the request to discover that a sale is defined differently across the different products and across the divisions. Some divisions have sales as gross, some net before taxes, some after taxes. Worse yet, there are codes everywhere. Some systems have the same code name but there are different value sets with different meanings. Worse even still, you find that some record average daily sales, some by the sale, and some others you just cannot figure out. Of course the VP also wants it consolidated by customer. Right, what's a customer?
