Managing data relationships can be a significant challenge for businesses using Acumatica. One common problem arises when dealing with parent-child relationships within the system. For instance, a customer may have numerous orders, and a project might involve multiple tasks. In Acumatica, these relationships are managed through data access classes (DACs). 

However, a key challenge was the absence of an automated method to connect this information. This meant businesses were forced to manually input the same information repeatedly. For example, when entering an order for an existing customer, all the customer information had to be re-entered manually. This manual process not only consumed valuable time but also increased the likelihood of errors.
