The ACID properties enforced by an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) system help ensure that transaction processing is robust and that data-integrity is maintained. Using examples from the sales cycle, select any two information quality characteristic and illustrate how those quality characteristics may be threatened (i.e., at risk) if the ACID properties (one or more) are violated.
