Reihe: SAP Excellence

Explains processes and scenarios (process chains) for planning with SAP characteristics. Uses the latest releases of SAP R/3 and APO (Advanced Planning & Optimization software). The levels scenario, process and function are explained from the business case down to the implementation level and the relations between these levels are consistently pointed out throughout the book Many illustrations help to understand the interdependencies between scenario, process and function  Aims to help avoiding costly dead ends and securing a smooth implementation and management of supply chains
