Today, people work in a world where business is conducted simultaneously in multiple formats, multiple media, in multiple locations with multiple channels. Organizations might receive orders from a sales rep, or a trade show, or through merchandising relationships, or through EDI interchanges, or web services. Orders might come from e-commerce sites, partner sites, affiliate sites or a company’s own website. Each of these has its own unique process for fulfillment of inventory, receiving in and shipping out, and the accounting of these transactions.
