4.0 out of 5 stars Simple enough for the basics of SAP
This book is excellent as an introductory guide that covers most of the modules with graphic illustration. It is useful if you are a new user to SAP or an experience consultant to prepare your training materials. Since the books covers version 3.x, I am expecting a new edition for version 4.x. As usual, this book is weak in IMG (Implementation Guide).

1.0 out of 5 stars doesn't explain how SAP works
I wanted to learn how SAP models a business, e.g., what data are represented and how information flows from one module to another. This book alternates between the overly general (paragraphs that say nothing) and the overly specific (screen shots of what a clerk might see).

If you have any kind of programming or computer science background, you'll find this book...

5.0 out of 5 stars Pow-Wow!, August 8, 1999
By A Customer
By the time I finished CHAPTER 6 (no worries, they are all very short chapters), I feel as if I have used SAP! It's amazingly simple (yet comprehensive) in its explanation and you don't need to be a technological buff to understand SAP/ this book! Highly recommends this INCREDIBLE book to all out there who have always wanted to know about SAP but have no experience with it!

Also provides very precise step-to-step guide with pictures of the SAP dialogue box. Whoa!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent final user manual, July 28, 2000
In few words: If you are not a SAP consultant (and you are not expected to be so) and you need to take up working on SAP as a final user next monday: read this book. On monday, this easy to read book, will allow you to show off as an experienced SAP user. The explantions "on the screen" showed by the book let you directly to the outcome you are looking for: to easily perform usual tasks in order entering, price updating, production planning, and so on.

If you have any kind of programming or computer science background, you'll find this book irritating.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's good for beginners., January 19, 1999
By A Customer
I loved the contents of this book and the way in which it is presented. Its a good book that starts from the easiest part and increases the level upto implementation. The examples given in the book about business are self-explainetary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise guidence in executing business processes, December 24, 1998
By 
One of the best books in the market that clearly describes execution of the step by step business processes in very simple language using a real life-like scenario. The book also provides an excellent overview of IMG. I would strongly urge the auther to consider writing books for individual functionalities, i.e., MM, QM, etc. with greater detail.

3.0 out of 5 stars it simply describes the ideal world with SAP, October 29, 1998
By 
Ed Vreeburg (EVreeburg@bpb.fr) (a Dutchman living in France) - See all my reviews
As an absolute beginner I was given this book, the first 250 pages are readable, explaining what SAP is and can do for your company. The examples from "before SAP" (panic striking, real life situations) and "after SAP" (idyllic world where all problems are solved) are a bit exagerated. For beginners :skip all the detailed work for later (screen, after screen, after screen..) when you have your SAP machine up and running.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for overall implementation, September 26, 1998
By A Customer
Bradley D Hiquest has made the subject thoroughly interesting by bringing in real life scenarios out of a fictional company. The language of the book is crisp and clear. I never understood SAP's concept of IMG (Implementation guide) till I read this book. Listing of some key menu paths and transaction code numbers is a plus. I wish that KLA brings up some more equally interesting books on MM,PP functionality and one on the cross application (EDI) aspects of SAP. Thanks KLA and Bradley in particular for enlightening us.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent introduction and more, July 9, 1998
this is the one and only book about sap which covers its complexity in a logical manner. i highly recommend it both for novices and pros, users and implementers -- and mostly for consultants with a keen interest in general and specific business processes.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD FOR THE LAYMAN AND THE LEARNED, June 25, 1998
A GREAT DEAL OF EFFORT IS PUT IN, TO GUIDE THE READER THRO THE PRE-SAP & POST SAP SCENARIOS.I RECOMMEND READERS TO READ THIS BOOK NOT ONCE BUT AS MANY TIMES POSSIBLE SINCE EVERY TIME YOU READ YOU GET A NEW INTERPRETATION OF SAP. GOOD BUY..
