Customer Reviews
A very basic book
If you really want to learn how to use the product, then this book will not be of any real use.
It covers a few basics such as logging on, and indicates a few other simple functions within the system. However, there is simply not enough depth to make it of any value. You could certainly learn everything in the book in a 24 hour period; possibly even a 24 minute period. The software product is simply too big to cover in adequate depth in a single book - and this one fails to do much more than cover some issues that are in the SAP help files.
However, the limited amount of information is well presented - it might be of some assistance to a complete novice to help cover some of the basic knowledge required to get them started. But they will very quickly need to look for more information than is covered by this book.
It does not teach
If you are SAP user, this book will not help you at all. I bought the book and hoped to have some coherent descriptions on finance and controlling modules of SAP. Instead the book fails to give a good account of what SAP does or does not.
SAP is a mighty expensive system and it takes many staff to do basic things that can be done easily on any accounting software package. In my company, there is nobody with a good understanding of what SAP does or does not.
This book is a selling pitch for two consultants who work for SAP. The book is written in a very unfinancial way and it is a bore to read.
An excellent beginning for SAP
Just ordered this book and got it yesterday. This book is a great way to start SAP. it gives a very detailed overview of SAP. It allows you to get to grips with this complex application and serves as an excellent launch pad for a career in SAP. However it is not detailed enough to be used on its on but allows you to pick up more advanced reading material required for further study. Note this review is for 3rd Edition 2009. Some of the previous reviews are for the older editions.
