they're more about the organisation changing to fit the ERP
that's because the ERP has been sold as the solution to the domain complexity of the organization. It's been sold as a way to make your org's business processes work in "industry standard" ways, following "best practice", because the ERP vendor has "experience" with other orgs in similar businesses, which you can leverage the expertise/knowledge off. They'll customize the process a bit, to make it suite your "unique" circumstances.
Again, the 80/20 rule applies: keep 80% standard (because the standard is actually good enough, and yes, it includes all the best practices distilled into it) and customize max 20% to your needs (hard to accept, but no business is special enough to need more than those 20%).

Unfortunately, it's all hogwash.
