Wolfgang Eddigehausen is a certified SAP consultant in Supply and Demand Planning (APO) as well as in Material Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), and Accelerated SAP (ASAP).

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, indepth indispensable piece of work, May 24, 2003

By	Pierre Fourie (Singapore) - See all my reviews

I bought the book in Feb 2003 to assist me on a project. It is an essential book for any level APO consultant. The book contains sections to understand how APO functions and also how to apply it - down to detailed technical level. The book is essential as SAP's own courses and documentation is vastly inadequate to equip someone to consult in supply chain theory and implementation. Detailed diagrams and tables explain complex concepts clearly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference guide for both user and consultant, July 9, 2003

By A Customer

I have just started using the SAP APO module in my company and found that this book is essential in helping me understand both supply chain concepts and SAP know-how. Vital information such as explaining the basic fields in product master, PPMs, resource master really helped me appreciate this powerful tool developed by SAP. I just hope that the author,Wolfgang, would quickly finish up his book on the PPDS module and I would be the first in line at the store to purchase it.

I think help.sap.com is much better than this book and the price is also very high.
