Breaking into SAP MM: SAP MM Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations (SAP MM Certification Guide)

Want to start working in SAP? Breaking into SAP shows you how to get a job - fast! There is a vibrant and global marketplace for those who have the right skills in SAP. But jobs for newcomers to the industry remain elusive. So how do you get started? Rather than spend a small fortune on expensive training and certifications of questionable value, Breaking into SAP suggests a more sensible route.

You need advice from a recognized leader in SAP who understands the SAP career landscape, and frankly, you need someone other than a recruiter to teach you how to move into this highly lucrative field. Jim Stewart's Breaking into SAP is the book you need if you want to understand exactly what it takes to move into the field of SAP. Breaking into SAP MM includes: How to obtain the experience needed to start working in SAP Real-life problems and solutions encountered on SAP implementations Detailed functional and technical questions, answers and explanations SAP careers: from permanent employment to consulting and contracting

Implementing Sap R/3 : How to Introduce a Large System into a Large Organization, 2nd Edition

Best-selling SAP R/3 implementation guide. New section on SAP configuration and implementation pitfalls.Frankness is a quality permeating the pages of Implementing SAP R/3: How to Introduce a Large System into a Large Organization. Mining nearly three decades worth of combined consulting experience, authors Bancroft, Seip, and Sprengel provide incisive and brutally honest insight into what it means to overhaul both business and computing practices with SAP R/3. The book focuses more on business and process reengineering than configurations or programming. Implementing SAP R/3 does manage to provide a balanced view of the technological components of the R/3 system. The authors take pains to explain what types of businesses it is best suited for, its failures and shortcomings, as well as its triumphs.

The explanation of R/3 that kick starts this book is highly approachable, detailing the philosophical and technical underpinnings of this system. The other three loosely constructed sections deal almost exclusively with the complexity of an R/3 implementation. Throughout these portions, the authors emphasize the importance of identifying and establishing project goals, a point liberally illustrated by various case studies. Additionally, a terrific glossary is tucked away in the final pages, as are four appendices. These appendices cover data-modeling and relational-database concepts, content and structure of the SAP data dictionary, and the development of Advanced Business Application Programming/4GL (ABAP4). --Sarah L.
