This book comprises of 115 top consulting scenarios which you should know when you start to work in any procurement module but specifically in SRM Module in SAP.I have added these easy to understand in the one-page format which makes it easy to refer back, Keep as a side note and should be a guide for you to help you in handling most of the scenarios in SRM As per what happens in any consulting environment the issues you actually get from your client may not be included in here but after you have read through this guide, it would give you a very good base in the terms of helping you to experiment and try things out in the system directly to come closer to a resolution. These are prepared based on my notes from hundreds of meetings, being part of multiple projects, brainstorming with my colleagues and lastly to be able to provide ongoing support to my clients to manage their procurement landscape. Please note that this book focuses on building basic concepts for both Technical as well as functional people, so I recommended you go through all the pages to have a good understanding of the SRM system. If you have basic ABAP knowledge, it would be easier if not, it can be a good learning which can also be applied to other SAP modules. Although this book is geared more towards SRM as a product having worked in other modules as well, I also include some general SAP concepts which help you to apply the same knowledge in multiple other modules like MM, PM, HR and other areas. SRM has a tight integration with all the above modules, and hence it is important to have a good understanding, so you can work effectively in a collaborative environment with other team members by knowing how the other module work rather than just passing the buck. Below are the details of what the book contains - Understand the basics and best practices of procurement - Understand basics of SAP system in general for troubleshooting and support - Added scenarios from real time case studies and client specific issues - Each section is concluded with additional blog and reference links which help to understand the problem in detail - Includes ABAP technical and Functional details - Includes consulting scenarios - Includes Audit specific information - Include any relevant notes and other material - Includes some of my previously written blogs - Some code snippets which you can reuse if you implement the same scenarios In the last 2 chapters, I also try to talk about the next step for SRM and how you can transition to Ariba or other S/4 Modules in the cloud. There is also a detailed blog which I posted on SDN to help you prepare for Ariba certification.

The research team that produced NCHRP Report 560 has also prepared NCHRP Web-Only Document 85: Considerations for a Guide to Contracting ITS Projects that describes their work and many interim results that may be of value to other researchers and professionals facing ITS procurement issues. In addition, the researchers developed an on-line tool that applies the NCHRP Report 560's decision-making process"--Publisher's description.
