You're on your own with the cosmos and there's no chance that I'm ever going to figure out women but the folks at Accolade Publications have taken on Sales Order Processing with their new book Understanding Sales Order Processing.
Sales Order Processing or SOP for short is one of those many headed monster modules that can be used in a variety of ways. I've twisted it into something unrecognizable a couple of times myself. There's a lot in SOP. So there's a lot in the book. 350 pages worth in fact. The coverage of workflow and fulfillment alone make it worth it.
I'll give you a hint on how to justify the ROI to your CFO. I can't explain SOP to you in an hour. The book costs about the same as an hour of a consultant's time. Every minute you spend with the information in the book after the first hour is saving you money. Every time you look something up rather than make a call saves you dough. Every minute that a consultant doesn't have to spend re-explaining Quote/ Order/ Invoice saves them brain cells.
It's also handy for torturing the marketing department by reading the book out loud, but that's just a free bonus.
So check out Understanding Sales Order Processing if only to torture Marketing.
