SAP can be complicated. Finding out why something is not working can be even harder.
This book is a practical guide for people who work with SAP and want to understand not only what the system does, but how to investigate it when it does something unexpected.
Written with the day-to-day realities of SAP support and consulting in mind, it brings together useful transactions, configuration concepts, troubleshooting techniques and real-world problem-solving approaches across some of the most important areas of the SAP landscape.
Whether you are a functional consultant, application support analyst, key user, business analyst or simply trying to deepen your SAP knowledge, this book is designed to be something you can actually keep beside you and refer to when a problem lands on your desk.
Topics include:
- SAP navigation and useful standard transactions
- Understanding document flow and where to investigate problems
- Sales and Distribution (SD)
- Sales orders, deliveries and shipping
- Availability checking and aATP
- Backorder Processing and product allocation
- Transportation Management (TM)
- Extended Warehouse Management (EWM)
- Shipping points, routes, calendars and scheduling
- Delivery and material availability dates
- Pricing and condition techniques
- Outputs and message processing
- Credit management
- Master data and determination logic
- Configuration and customising concepts
- Reading SAP error messages properly
- Dumps, inconsistencies and database-related errors
- Troubleshooting techniques for difficult or intermittent problems
- How to work systematically from symptom to root cause
Rather than simply providing lists of transaction codes, the book explains how the different parts of SAP interact and how seemingly unrelated configuration can affect the final result.
Why was the delivery date pushed forward when stock exists?
Why was a shipping point determined differently?
Why has availability changed?
Why did a delivery fail to create?
Why is an output not triggering?
Why does an order behave differently for one customer, material or shipping condition?
These are the kinds of questions SAP professionals deal with every day.
The aim of this book is to help you develop a structured way of answering them.
It is not about memorising every SAP transaction or configuration table. It is about learning where to look, what to check and how to follow the logic of the system until the cause becomes clear.
Suitable for professionals working with SAP S/4HANA and modern SAP logistics environments, as well as anyone building their practical knowledge of SAP functional consulting and support.
A practical SAP reference for the problems that rarely appear in the training manual.
