[fireproof]

We use SAP (commonly refered to as "Stops All Progress"), which I understand is somehow related to PeopleSoft (but PeopleSoft is supposed to be "friendlier.").  You are right, it is HARD.



You cannot go without back up - is there anyone in your organization who WOULD recognize and welcome the opportunity?



I would say, go ahead and print out the manual - also, try putting together a complete, step-by-step procedures manual (mine is 3 pages, and covers EVERYTHING I have ever encountered).  You get two benefits from doing this - 1.  You will be forced to think your procedures through logically, each step at a time, which might make it easier for you to explain what you do to someone else, and - 2.  You can leave your hammer-headded back up in charge, confident that if she DOES mess up you can prove that you did your absolute best to make sure she knew how to do it the right way (perhaps, who knows, maybe she needs to SEE the procedure to learn it - some people are like that).
