Clear and concise guide to SD customising
This book gives a clear, concise and no-nonsense approach to customising the SD module in SAP R/3. All the areas of SD are covered. What is most useful is that the customising is explained - rather than focusing exclusively on what SAP SD is and can do which other SD books have done, this book also shows you what must be done and customised and how to do it to use the functionality that is available. I think this is most useful.

Especially helpful are the tips and notes which give useful advice, warnings and time-saving OSS notes.

As an experienced SD consultant, I found this book a useful, comprehensive and concise record of SD customising. New users will find it an invaluable source of knowledge, understanding and experience.

A useful book with good basic SD coverage of configuration
This is a landmark book for two reasons. Firstly, as far as I am aware, this book is the first to show how to configure elements of the module. Secondly, the author includes hard-won knowledge, from various sources, not covered in any other SAP textbook. The book is therefore unique and recommended as a aid for consultants seeking to round out their general knowledge of the module. Whilst most core areas are covered in depth, some such as Transportation, Foreign Trade and Lean WM, for example, are however skipped over much more lightly, if mentioned at all. The front cover exclaims 'Covers R/3 4.6!', but very little 4.5/4.6 functionality is discussed. It would also have been useful if the book had discussed more peripheral, but increasingly SD relevant, areas such as Variant Configuration and in particular, internet trading. 'Implementing SAP R/3 Sales & Distribution' is a very useful book with good basic SD coverage of configuration, supported by good quality screenshots. It also covers some of those useful peripheral topics that a SAP Academy doesn't teach you, such as reporting tools and the useful parts of the ABAP workbench. It would have saved me a lot of time and anguish in my early SAP days and is still useful to dip into as a refresher.

One of the best SAP books
This is even better than the 1st version in 2000. It is a very good book that explains ECC and SPRO environment for SD . It has great screenshots and provides the reader with an enough information to be able to get a good handle on configuring the main elements of SAP SD . I would recommend this book for Business analyst who are involved in SD SAP or for consultants in other areas who would like to get a better handle on SD
