SAP Book Reviews

January 20, 2008

These are some SAP R/3 books that SapLinks staff have found useful.

1.
FI/CO:Highly regarded by most consultants, this book covers FI/CO essentials well, but leaves out some important topics including assets accounting, consolidations, product and activity based costing.
2.
ABAP: Offers a good overview of the SAP ABAP language. Supplemented with the online help at help.sap.com, it will help you get up to speed with ABAP programming faster.
3.
FI/CO:Targetted at the novice FI user. Would otherwise recommend the other FI/CO book listed.
4.
SD: Good SD implementation guide, but may be in need of an update.
5.
ABAP: Excellent intro to object-oriented ABAP, as well as the ABAP language itself. Good book to own just for reference purposes.
6.
BW: Good conceptual introduction to SAP BW. For practical configuration training, take a SAP course or try the Biao Fu BW book.
7.
BASICS: Only recommended if you need to buy a book that explains the SAP basics. Otherwise, explore the many helpful SAP infosites on the WWW.
8.
PS: Still the best intro to SAP project systems, but in desperate need of an update.
9.
SCM: As the title implies, this book is a good read on SAP’s view of the SCM world, but not as a primer on SCM concepts.
10.
IS: Have not read this personally, but to quote a reviewer "An acceptable introduction to mySAP.com, but light on detail".
11.
CAREER: A good book on embarking on careers in SAP consulting, written by respected authors in this field.
