SAP Press has recently added a Sales and Distribution book to their line up of SAP reference material titled "Effective SAP SD" by D. Rajen Iyer. Although there haven't been that many changes in the Sales and Distribution module in the recent years there has long been a need for an up-to-date SAP SD reference book. "Effective SAP SD" provides a good overview of the SD functionality within mySAP ERP and various integration points with other ERP modules but falls short in delivering detail when it comes to actual configuration settings in the IMG.

Overview

D. Rajen Iyer was able to put together a concise and easily understandable reference guide for the SD module of mySAP ERP. The book goes through some of the major components of the SD module such as organizational structure, sales document types, pricing as well as some the most typical cross-functional scenarios with such modules as Materials Management and Warehouse Management. Overall, the book is written in a very accessible language and should be fairly easy to follow for technical and not so technical IT professionals. Although D. Rajen Iyer does a decent job describing the overall structure and functions of the Sales and Distribution module he does fall short in providing enough detail in regards to various configuration settings within the IMG.
