Customer Reviews

A Must-Have SAP HR book
This is the first English SAP HR functional book from SAP Press. I found it very well organized and the examples in the book very helpful. It covers the basic HR concepts as well as some advanced topics such as e-Learning. It is a must have book for SAP HR professionals.

Excellent reference guide
This book provided good process flows under each module discussed. There are some good tips on best practices, and what to watch out for in terms of limitations with the system. I appreciated the fact that it had 4.7 functionalities incorporated.

Good Book! But needs translation help
This is a very good book, providing a strong overview of the areas contained in Personnel Development.
The biggest issue I have is that the translation from German to English leaves much to be desired. The problem is that the wording makes it difficult to get into the reading flow. I often had to stop and try to determine what the sentence really meant. There were even sentences that were entirely unintelligible.
The other issue I had with the book was that the graphics were very weak in that they were not clear on their own as to meaning, and were not explained in the associated text.
I would still recommend this book as a strong overview, but readers should be aware of the challenges.
