Slashes in abbreviations

[Jenn Wilson <jenn -at- mylar -dot- outflux -dot- net>]

Everyone,

I'm looking for input from other experienced writers on an issue I'm 
debating with our company president.

How do you abbreviate "Accounts Payable"?

- AP
- A/P
- Something else

In turn, how would you abbreviate "sales order" when you clearly can't 
re-word, spell it out, or write around the usage?
- SO
- S/O
- Something else


(My superior insists that the slashes are an accepted industry standard. 
I don't buy this.) :)



Thank you in advance,
Jenn
