Customer Reviews

Good Overview for an SAP novice
I bought this book for a friend who is not an SAP consultant, but is a manager in the logistics department who was been chosen to be part of a PP team. I got him two books, this one and the "Discover SAP" book, also from SAP Press. I read both of the books before giving them to him and I thought the books complemented each other quite well. The Discover SAP book was a good general overview and this book was a good overview to all the logistics functions in SAP; PP, MM, SD etc.

This book (and the Discover SAP book) is a good overview for someone who does not know much about SAP but is going to be a part of an SAP team or lead an team from a users perspective. This is not a book I would recommend to a consultant or someone who has been working with SAP for sometime. There are no SAP transaction names in this book (which would confuse the novice), but the concepts are clear enough that anyone with any logistics background would understand.
