5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for all SAP consultants who need an overview of SAP FI, June 5, 2008
This review is from: Discover SAP ERP Financials (Paperback)
Being a Procure to Pay consultant(Certified in SRM / MM / FI) i was looking for books on FI to improve my skillset on FI. I initially purchased the book "Optimize your ERP Financials Implementation - Shivesh Sharma" but returned back the book with exchange to other book as the book did not contain any topics on optimization as was advertised and also the purpose for configuration is not explained properly.

Then i purchased this book "Discover SAP ERP Financials" by Manish Patel ($40.00 from SAP-PRESS). The book has surpassed the expectations. I thought this would be very basic but the author did an excellent job in explaining the topics with the latest optimization techniques. The case studies and the new optimization techniques are described in a great detail. Though this book does NOT talk about configuration in SAP , but it gives enough knowledge as to WHY you need to configure. In contrast the book by Shivesh Sharma does not have any optimization techniques /case studies and no configuration logic.

If you are an MM consultant and would like to venture into AP, then you would be thrilled to read the chapters 3 (Payables) , 4 (Taxation) and 5 (Bank Transactions). Manish Patel mentions about the new optimization techniques including e-payments through ORBIAN and OFX (Open Financial Exchange).

SD consultants would love the topic on processing incoming payments through LockBox processing and the EBS (Electronic Bank Statement) processing with the details on Interpretation Algorithm and Search Strings. An excellent case study on how a civic government achieved a better control on working capital management by processing the property tax payments through Lockbox. There is a separate chapter on Collections, Dispute and Credit Management.

HR consultants would appreciate the integration of major reservation systems AMADEUS , SABRE , GALILEO with SAP Travel management. It is interesting to read how the miles earned through flights is used for future reservations. Payroll accounting and detailed case study on a corporate plans to implement travel management sums it up.

A must have book for SAP consultants of all modules. Also useful to new FI/CO consultants.

It is now time for SAP-PRESS to come up with separate books on each of the sub-modules in FI ( AP/AR , Asset Accounting , FI Planning/Consolildation/New G/L ...etc). Manish Patel should team up with experts in each domain and come up with these books with Practical Approach.

2.0 out of 5 stars Superficial, not worth the money, December 31, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Discover SAP ERP Financials (Paperback)
I expected SAP FI/CO functional topics explained in this book. Instead, it gives a very high level overview of SAP and functionalities available. This may be a good book for managers who wants to get an over view of the product. If you are looking for core SAP FI/CO stuff, this is not the book.
