This book is the best I have seen related to SAP Payroll. I've been consulting on this software since 1994 and this is the first time I've seen a publication that is this useful. It is at a high level, but remains excellent reference material, covering all of the key components of payroll configuration. I would recommend it; especially to new SAP Payroll Users.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have provided more information, July 27, 2011

There are some good parts to this book, but I cannot fathom an SAP payroll book not addressing paycheck printing and providing more information regarding tax reporter configuration. To use the excuse: There is plenty of documentation available elsewhere comes across as a bit lazy--resulting in a thin book. I understand that the book may not be intended to be in depth, but to leave out pay printing altogether and barely address tax reporter seems bizarre.
