Customer Reviews

What you do need to know about FICO.
Very good indeed. A good case study. You can learn FICO from theory and practice. Small errors: command paths, company codes mixed.
In CO, it is a pitty there is nothing about CO-PC (material ledger) and could be included more information regarding Report Painter and Substitution/Validation rules.
No doubt it is worth buying. It is valuable for newcomers and experient consultants.

good tooling book
it's not only giving you step by step procedure for configuration setting but also with clear concept for the setting behind.

Highly recommended for experienced and non experienced SAP Analysts
I used this book to confirm a few points about Investment Management configuration, functionality and its relationship with FI and Project Systems/Internal Orders. The book was very useful, explanations of configuration are clear and concise and examples contain useful tips and screen shots. I found it very valuable and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book for experienced and non-experienced SAP professionals.
