I have found it very clear and complete, helping me to better understand the APO mechanics and how they can support supply chain requirements.
An example of awkward phrasing:
"There are mainly two common scenarios where dependent demand provides a valuable input for demand planning. In one scenario a key component limits the supply quantity. If many products contain this key component - probably even with different quantities, as the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry - a rough feasibility check by a rule of thumb is not any more possible." Sec. 4.6 Dependent Demand in Demand Planning, page 72
I appreciate the fact that some effort is made to explain concepts rather than just showing SAP screens. There are a number of diagrams and figures that are helpful. In fact, without the graphics the information in the book would be extremely difficult, or at the very least take much longer to "click".
Another section of the book, possibly the most useful after completion, is the "Transactions and Reports" section in the appendix. It is 14 pages of SAP transaction codes and brief descriptions broken up into relevant categories that can save valuable time finding long forgotten transactions.
in general, this book is most useful to someone that already has some familiarity with APO and APO structures and is interested in broadly expanding that knowledge a bit. This is not a good book for someone that is not already intimate with APO. I'm not saying that you won't get anything out of it, but it will take time and patience to sift the wheat from the chaff.
