SAP MM PURCHASING : Technical Reference and Learning Guide By AGRAWAL, P. K.

SAP is a powerful software that can meet the needs of any business and for any type of business in any part of the world. Its all encompassing nature makes SAP complex. To understand SAP well, in this book on SAP MM Purchasing, like in his earlier four books on SAP (HR module), the author gives an indepth analysis of SAP, with its focus on materials management purchasing.

Divided into 26 chapters, the book clearly explains both the SAP Menu and the Customizing Implementation Guide. It also indicates the chapter number where these are covered, thereby creating a direct link between the book and the SAP software.

This well-organized book can be used to learn SAP from scratch. Being a learning guide, it would be immensely valuable for all those who are training to be SAP Consultant. The book would be especially useful to Business Process Owners and Senior Managers to get an overview of SAP and the important choices it offers.
