Pro's.
1. This book summarizes the SAP MM functionality in a very good way. Till now the SAP MM area was pretty much starved of any good book.
2. Almost all of his chapters have step-by-step instructions----with screen shots for most of the important steps. This ensures that this book will get used by both the MM user and the consultant that configures the application.
3. A detailed index and a glossary make this book more useful...Although the glossary is towards the end of the book, I found that it was very helpful to go through the glossary before reading the book.
Cons
1. When it comes to the Technical configuration part...this book is not very helpful. To the consultant, the book shows the path to configuring the system...but How? and Why? should the configuration be done is not explained properly....This will definitely get the newcomer or midlevel consultant confused and will make him look out for more expert help.
2. SAP is a very relational application. An incorrect config in one module effects other modules too. This books lacks in its explanation of the 'effects of a configuration being done.'
3. Finally..some important configs have not been explained properly...like 'Pricing Condition technique in MM Purchasing' and 'Release Procedure setup for Documents'.
Over all, this book is a good purchase for the MM user and the newcomer (consultant) coz it explains the MM functionality in a good way.
This book does exactly what it sets out to do - working from a clear overview of the MM module at the beginning to some much more detailed sections where you need it. I particularly enjoyed some of the real-life examples - and would recommend them - for me it brought the subject to life and prompted my own thinking on how to use MM to greatest effect.
I also appreciated the fact that the book acknowledges that the MM module does not operate in a vacuum -the book will help me realise the seamless integration of MM with other modules.
Overall, this is a practical, helpful guide to MM, which strikes the balance between technical detail and practical application. I'd recommend it.
Figures 2.3 (pg 32) and 16.6 (pg 323) are wrong. Figure 2.3 should show Assignment of Plants to Company Codes but show creation of storage locations instead. Figure 16.6 should show MRP List for Material but shows the creation screen for Raw material.
Top reviews from other countries
They used the book at the early stages, but have since gone back through it and I understand that they have found some valuable information each time. It's well structured with a sensible approach to providing the right information. Unlike many of the other books, this one does seem to provide more than just the high level overview of the module which is the biggest single complaint about SAP Press books.
This was probably one of the few books worth buying.
