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 Logistics with SAP ERP" 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 the Discover Logistics book was a good overview to all the logistics functions in SAP; PP, MM, SD etc.

This book (and the "Discover Logistics" 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.

Excellent 101 book for anyone who want to know about a SAP solutions and structure. With clear concepts, and with a very easy reading, the book is a must read book if you are new on SAP or if you are a consultant and need to have an overall understanding of the other solutions and concepts outside of your SAP module expertise.

If someone has little or no SAP knowledge, this book is the best current book to bring them up to speed quickly. The book makes a clear presentation of what SAP is, what components exist in the SAP universe, and how SAP can be used within an organization. There is not great depth to the presentation, but the overview provided is accurate and detailed enough to allow a beginner to understand the potential for SAP and how all the pieces work together.

I have just resently completed reading this book. It has establsihed a basis for my understanding of SAP systems and products. This book helps someone wanting to become certified in SAP or business professional that is considering being involved in a SAP implementation. If you desire to learn about SAP terms and products this is a must read. This book contains great visuals as well as relatable case studies. There are parts of this book that techical but if you are not in the Information Technology arena then you will still get great benefit from this book.

Familiar with the principal author Nancy Muir from her Microsoft Project text. She is a great author. This book is not easy reading, but, a chapter, or half a chapter, per sitting provides tremendous insight into the capabilities of SAP. Still looking for a SAP text that provides a tutorial of the actual screens.

This is the best introductory book I have read so far, It touches on the diffrent areas of the SAP software, It is very well written and simplified, I'd recommend this book for every person who would like to start on the SAP path

Excellent book! It gave me a very nice understanding about SAP and its modules, as well as SAP Netweaver technology plataform. I would indicate it for whoever wants to begin in the SAP world.

Useless. I needed something to get familiar with our recent SAP installation, and this book provide only a commercial overview about the possibilities of SAP and the modules purpose. Most likely, when I bought it, I misunderstood the goal of the opera.

Useful information.
I knew little about SAP and this has helped me move into the right direction as to what area I would look to start getting training in.
The chapters give adequate information to allow one to know what the software works on.

The case studies are good in helping demonstrate the software in action.

So it's not a bad book but I'm assuming if you're reading it you want to know the truth about SAP, it's implementation and the effect it will have on your organization. This title refers to all of these but only touches on the actual facts. Think of reading a 150 page white paper written by a product's vendor. That's this book in a nutshell. It's easy to understand and certainly not too deep on the technical side for non-IT folks.

I read it but I'm going to have to find more to get even the basic answers I'll need to prepare our environment for our likely SAP roll out.
