I'm probably going to start with the relatively easy stuff: price lookup and
MRP generation.  Both are primarily database driven without a lot of need
for fancy structures.  Other candidates will be batch balancing, finite
forward scheduling and standard cost rollups.  Each of these requires a
slightly different technique and can involve some interesting structures.

I think any one of these represents a pretty standard business requirement
for basic ERP processing, and I doubt that anybody has any library functions
or templates that will generate the code. 

Can you think of some other processes that might fit in the list?
