Synopsis
SAP is the leading ERP (enterprise resource planning) product in the market, with more than 30 percent market share. FI/CO, the Financial and Controlling modules, are the most popular modules in the package and are used by thousands of SAP customers in various industries. (20,000 companies have installed SAP; more than half have the financial package). Configuring and customizing the SAP modules is still one of the most expensive and time-consuming parts of the implementation, because consultants are expensive and support from SAP is slow. This book is valid for both versions 3.x and 4.x of R/3.
