Customer Reviews

What you do need to know about FICO.
Very good indeed. A good case study. You can learn FICO from theory and practice. Small errors: command paths, company codes mixed.
In CO, it is a pitty there is nothing about CO-PC (material ledger) and could be included more information regarding Report Painter and Substitution/Validation rules.
No doubt it is worth buying. It is valuable for newcomers and experient consultants.
