Preface
This book is intended to be a compendium of example situations and problems for beginners as well as more advanced users to have a starting point troubleshooting, to gain deeper understanding or to have a check list of possible solutions they maybe haven’t considered yet.
Taking questions out of the overall context can be problematic since it doesn’t draw the complete picture of a situation or a problem as they might occur or have occurred.
Often times the consultants on-site on a project and have a more detailed understanding of a situation. Consequently it is hardly possible to answer this question or give recommendations considering every possibility.
With the answers provided in this book to such questions, as they might occur in projects, it is not intended to undermine your on-site consultants and expert’s credibility. They might work towards a specific roadmap or solution and had to rule out certain options that are offered in this book.
Please keep this bigger picture
in mind when applying, testing and researching the provided solutions. After all, your problem might be unique and could require opening a customer message to SAP to get resolved.
