;Over-emphasis on system cost
According to Finlay and Servant, “The differential in purchase price between packages is unlikely to be the dominant factor".<ref name="FinancialPackaging">Paul N. Finlay and Terence Servant, ''Financial Packaging Systems'', 1987. {{ISBN|0-85012-584-7}}.</ref> While the cost of an ERP system is significant for a company, other important decision criteria, such as functionality; future proofing; underlying infrastructure [network & database]; and e-commerce capability among others, may be under-stressed. Futher evaluation of potentially hidden expenses or recurring charges should be taken into account which would help determine whether the system can be afforded on a continuous basis. Such expenses may include annual maintenance, hardware replacement costs, employee training, integration, and upgrades.
