Corporate Playbooks

Cross-functional playbooks for the OverDrive go-live. These aren't counter how-tos — they're the agreed plays for the corporate teams (IT, AR, Sales Audit, Procurement, AP, Finance). Some are workarounds for what OverDrive doesn't fully own yet at the first store; others are simply how a process is run across systems — who maintains what, who keys what, and how the books stay clean during the transition.

If you're at the counter, you probably want the Operational Playbooks instead. Come here when a process crosses systems or teams.

How to read a corporate playbook

Every page has the same shape:

  1. Overview — the gap in one or two sentences: what OverDrive does and doesn't do here, and how we're covering it.
  2. When this applies — the trigger that puts you on this page.
  3. The steps — what to do, with the role and owner on each. (The heading reads The workaround on the gap pages, The process on the ongoing-management ones.)
  4. Go-live & cutover notes — one-time setup and cutover items behind it (not day-to-day steps).

When you're stuck

Same as everywhere else on this site: this site first, then the store's OverDrive Teams channel. For a cross-system process question, name the systems involved (OverDrive, VAST, Coupa, Great Plains) and the transaction it's attached to.
