Summary: A good 2nd SAP R/3 book for business managers.
Review: "Using SAP R/3" is a good 2nd book to get if you are a manager, and you want to know what the individual modules can do, but you don't really want to know how to configure the system. A much better 1st book for business managers is "Implementing SAP R/3, 2nd edition" by Bancroft, Seip, and Sprengel (ISBN 0-13-889213-X). This book gives you a a better introduction to SAP R/3, and a big picture view that a business manager might be looking forward too. A future edition of "Using SAP R/3" could be better if there were more information on the SAP R/3 Reference Model.

Summary: Short on detail, long on fluff.
Review: As one involved in an SAP R/3 implementation, I found this book to be much too short on details to be of real value. Because it tries to cover all aspects of SAP, it is like a river that is a mile wide and one inch deep, you can't dive into it. The author's time would have been better spent providing answers to some of the real issues involved in implementing R/3.

Summary: Worthless in regards to Basis module...
Review: Comparable to "Freshman 101". Don't bother
Rating:
Summary: Very poorly written
Review: Given its price and size, one would expect this book to contain a great deal of useful information. In fact, it reads like a sales and marketing press release. The writing is also very disjointed. There is a great deal of repetition as well as jumping from topic to topic with little or no connection. Definitely not worth the money.

Summary: No Value for Money
Review: I am a SAP consultant
The book is with respect meant for SAP Jobhunters
to join the author's company and guide them through interviews etc. The author
spent half the book on it. It is almost 1000 pages
yet only some 60 pages is spent on the important SD module. It's title reads "Using SAP R/3" which is grossly misleading in my opinion. That implies to discuss substantial issues and that is why I bought it over the Internet. It also boosts ASAP Consulting extensively. If I were Que Publishing I would have referred it back. The author undoubtedly has vast knowledge yet does not choose to share that with us. I definitely do NOT recomend this book seen against its pricetag.

Summary: So useless that it should not take up space on your desk.
Review: I am on the technical side of SAP and wished to learn more about the business side. Nothing was in the book that you can't read from the on-line help. Even if you're not involved in SAP you should not buy this book. There are better ones out there now.

Summary: More Like A Philosophy book
Review: I bought this book to learn about SAP.I did not learn anything about SAP. It even got me confused. This book is really hard to read and understand and does not tell you anything about how to design and implement SAP. I'm very diappointed and do not recommand to anybody.

Summary: Better than Sears Robuck
Review: I highly recommend you get your copy of this 1,200 + page book for use in your outhouse. Since Sears stopped printing their catalog years ago, there are few replacements out there for such an essential household item. Be the first on your block to wipe it off with SAP!

Summary: The Most Complete NON-TECHNICAL Reference
Review: I would have to agree with some of the other reviewers, this book is only good for an expensive book end.I bought this book with the expectation that the coverage would be similar in scope to 'Oracle Unleashed.' That book provides a complete overview of Oracle in general terms but enough information to know how the database is constructed, tuning, backup, and other applications. Admittedly, I have not thoroughly read through the Using SAP; however, that is mostly the result of my frustration with finding the technical information I needed. Using SAP R/3 seems more appropriate for management reference... maybe.

Summary: Nothing I was looking for
Review: I'm an R/3 consultant, Controlling module. So serious module is not depicted at all, any SAP's on-line help is much more useful (but not complete, alas) for understanding and customizing of CO. Alas, it seems to me that no one can publish a worthy implementation guide...
