More often than not an organization drops functionality and transactions on to the planner, scheduler and buyer - providing minimal (transactional) training - only to expect far better results than ever before ("hey, we spent all this money for you to have these great transactions"). I do not believe that this is working out well and think it might cause even more frustration than there was before.
That is why I wouldn't rest until I got the chance to put my thoughts down in form of a book. Thanks to Rheinwerk Publishing (formerly Galileo), Kathy Spencer, Hareem Shafi and specially Emily Nicholls I was given the great opportunity.
Because I did not want to write a technical 'transaction' book, this might be a bit different from what you expect from a typical SAPPRESS publication.
The book starts shipping November 30 and you can pre-order at amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Materials-Planning-SAP-Uwe-Goehring/dp/1493211978/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1444479768&sr=8-1&keywords=uwe+goehring)
Critique and suggestions are most welcome and I deeply hope that it can make a small difference to the better in your own organization...
