Disappointing.
Among the 500 pages of this book, i didn't find configuration information about Release Strategy and MRP or CBP scenarios. i don't think this book could be helpful to SAP consultants. It is a book that is much more end-users oriented.

Good Reference Book for Materials Management
I got this book based on the positive comments on the US Amazon site. I was pleasantly surprised to see a MM book out there that was going to tackle all aspects of Materials Management in one volume. I have been disappointed in other books published on the subject so I was very pleased when I started reading it and finding that it actually was structured and had all the subjects in it that I wanted to find out about. Some of it was a bit below me, but I think that is great for consultants new to MM. Other parts I had to read over a few times to get it, like Material Ledger, so this book as it all. There are quite a few examples and some great config tips just when you need them. It's good that the book is written by an American as is refreshing to not to see everything focused on Germany. The real life examples are from all over the globe.
Overall I was very pleased. A good solid book on Materials Management. I hope the second edition has Purchasing release strategy.

Good for general consultants and users
I appreciate why the people who gave the book one star did so. Coudl well have been a disappointment if you wanted ECC6 or detailed configuration information. Book is more of a tour of the structure and use of the Material Master, BOM and other parts of SAP Materials Management. So why the five stars? Well - It was a structural tour i wanted and the book mostly delivers, so don't be put off if you want that too. NB: When I say structure I do mean from an end user screen perspective. Don't expect a guide to the tables either. Hope this helps you decide. Cheers.
