Customer Reviews

Excellent, Must read for any SAP aspirant

This book not just covers the R/3 system but encompasses the complete world of SAP. Best guide to learn and implement the R/3 system. The impressive part of the book is the appndices about employment and other details. FI-CO is covered in great detail.

Excellent! - Here's an interview with the author.

Using SAP R/3 is as close to a definitive guide to the SAP product and market as we will ever see. There is a great interview with the author at http://www.softwarejobs.com/sap/sap74.html. I highly suggest reading it!

Better than Sears Robuck

I highly recommend you get your copy of this 1,200 + page book for use in your outhouse. Since Sears stopped printing their catalog years ago, there are few replacements out there for such an essential household item. Be the first on your block to wipe it off with SAP!

Big, heavy book.

There are good and bad points about this book. First, like the summary states, it is a nice,big, heavy book. If you need to hold down something firmly, this is the book to place on top of it. Now, the bad part: many parts of the book are simply too superficial. This book sounds like a big advertising brochure for SAP, and if you are looking for that, SAP AG might be able to do a better job of selling their product. Also, in many major modules, the book has an irritating tone that somehow presupposes that you have an absolutely ready SAP system in front of you and are trying to get an idea of what it is doing. Many sentences have the phrase " the system will have been configured to" do this, or do that... This includes sections that should really be giving you good, solid information on how the system has been configured, and how else it could have been configured. In the middle of this, we have inane statements, which are really too numerous to list, which give the book a "business perspective". If that is what the book aimed to do in the first place, then I wish people like me, who are looking for a techno-business view, were better informed before buying this book.In short, the book falls short on the very count that appears be it's strong point: depth. If anybody who is really working on SAP got anything useful out of this book, I would be amazed to hear about it.

A Complete Summary of Important SAP Subjects

One of the best comprehensive books written about SAP. Most important subjects are presented well. Level of detail is appropriate to quickly give the reader a working knowledege of how almost all the modules fuction. This is a great help to many SAP professionals that only know about their own modules and not others. It is great for managers as well as technical people. It has architectural, functional, business, process and other views to satisfy different readers with different needs Excellent book.
