Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

For Universal Containers (UC), maintaining the system of record (SOR) for all orders in the ERP Order Object is the most strategic approach, especially given the ERP's role in fulfillment and invoicing. This ensures that the ERP remains the authoritative source for order data, providing a single point of truth for financial transactions and order management. Integrating Salesforce clouds with the ERP allows for seamless data flow and operational efficiency, supporting UC's digital transformation goals while leveraging the ERP's robust capabilities for order processing and financial management.

The ERP Order Object makes the most sense to me. That's where the fulfillment and invoicing is happening, so it should be the source of truth.
