A truly in-depth functional overview of all aspects of SAP ERP

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

After reading this book I feel like I can call myself an SAP functional expert now! Before reading the book, I had a good functional understanding of parts of SAP ERP and some technical knowledge of SAP ERP and had read many books on SAP ERP; however, after reading this book, I feel like only now do I truly have the most comprehensive functional overview of SAP ERP. I may not be able to configure an SAP ERP system; but I have a really good understanding of what goes into an SAP configuration and how my business might map to an SAP implementation.

The book is based on the TERP-10 course that the SAP Training team offers; but while TERP10 requires the attendees to spend 3-5 intense days getting in class or online; this book allows busy professionals to get a similar (albeit, not as deep) overview at their own pace, on their own favorite e-Reader devices (Kindle, iPad, Surface, etc.), at their own favorite location (beach, kitchen, etc.)!

The book looks deceptively small -- but once you start getting into it, it gets very intense very quickly. A sample manufacturing company -- Global Bike, Inc. -- is taken throughout the book and all business processes in that company are clearly described. These business processes are implemented in SAP ERP and the book gives a very good description of how this business maps to SAP. The illustrations throughout the book are very helpful as are the video demonstrations. The video demonstrations showing the SAP transactions complement the text and the graphics very well and solidify the understanding of the business process.

One suggestion to the authors to take this book and its content to the next level would be to make an SAP ERP system available on the cloud with all the configuration and master data. Users of this system will be allowed to complete exercises, such as to complete the entire procure-to-pay process (create a PO, receive good, receive invoice, and pay the vendor), on this system. The practical understanding of SAP ERP that came from such a demo environment would be immense and I'm sure that the readers of this book will be willing to pay extra for access to such a system.

Great Core SAP Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is excellent as a core book for SAP. I deducted one star simply since I believe the description of this book should have told us up front that this book is a slight different version of "Integrated Business Processes with SAP Systems", published by Wiley. Otherwise, this book would have been a 5-star book with brief introduction to some of the basic business processes rendered by SAP system. in a clear and insightful way. It is a very good introductory book for anybody who wants to learn and understand some of the basics about business processes of SAP ERP

The book is focused on manufacturing sector. It is good if your manufacturing company is using SAP and you want to learn more about it. But it's not so good if you want to learn ERP in general.

A valuable reference book for my pos-graduation course

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014

The book content is the backbone of the 18 months posgraduation course in SAP business process offered by ULT. It helped me to understand the main concepts of business process in general. It would be impossible to reach the results obtained without this fantastic book of Word and Magal.

There is an almost identical book with slightly different title by the same anthers.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2015

I bought a book some time ago by the same authors with almost identical title of "Integrated Business Processes with SAP Systems", published by Wiley. The tables of contents for both books, again, are almost identical except that this book I am reviewing here has one chapter extra that describes a fictional model company used throughout this book. I deduce one star simply since I believe the description of this book should have told us up front that this book is a slight different version of the other book. Otherwise, this book would have been a 5-star book with brief introduction to some of the basic business processes rendered by SAP system. in a clear and insightful way. It is a very good introductory book for anybody who wants to learn and understand some of the basics about business processes of SAP ERP.
