I had a quick glance at your book. It looks really good. How about covering related areas, such as picking, facility and work-effort?

I am starting with the eCommerce component and the Catalog Manager because I have the most end-user experience with those. [And, IMHO, these are tremendous selling points for the project.] I plan to expand to the other components as time permits and a component's functionality can be easily related to eCommerce functions. (For example, Order Entry and product fulfillment as related to the eCommerce storefront.) I'll keep this list posted on my progress.
