Dear Reader,

I’m sure you know this situation: You commit to something, and only
when you’re long past the point of no return, you realize what that
project you’ve signed up for actually demands.
There are a couple of resources out there—printed or in HTML format,
for free or on sale—that claim to be a “reference” for SAP transaction
codes. But in fact, none of them does the job. When Venki, Martin,
Norman, and myself held the first phone conference to discuss the
idea of finally delivering something that deserves that name, we ended
in a cheerful mood: “Let’s do this!”
Well, we did it: The authors researched endless amounts of codes,
talked to numerous colleagues, weighed the importance of hundreds
of transactions to decide whether to include them in this book or not,
and finally explained what all these transactions do. And I, their editor,
encouraged them to dig into modules they usually don’t work with,
pointed out the deadlines, and badgered them with questions and
requests for clarifications.
I think I may speak for all of us when saying: We’re a little exhausted.
But we’re also happy, because we delivered a book that we think is
unique and that we’re sure the readers will find a useful guide in their
daily work with the system.
We appreciate your business, and welcome your feedback. Your
comments and suggestions are the most useful tools to help us
improve our books for you, the reader. We encourage you to visit our
website at www.sap-press.com and share your feedback about this
work.
Thank you for purchasing a book from SAP PRESS!
