Implementation and daily use of SAP for management of manufacturing resources
Reviewed on 2022/08/31
Pros
The software can be used to account for every individual material/resource that is used in a manufacturing process. It offers true end-to-end cost control.
I was a member of the team that implemented SAP on a local level at manufacturing sites, training people who would be front-line users in a manufacturing environment. Since then I have worked in local management, where my responsibilities would include reconciling and consolidating material use on SAP software.
Cons
Implementation of SAP for a large business must be done to an exceptionally high standard. Many businesses are likely to underestimate the amount of discipline and attention to detail that is required in the roll-out of this sort of high level ERP software. Mistakes that are made at this early stage will create long lasting snags that in my experience have taken up to 3 years to iron out.
I should add that my organisation did also require a lot of custom features to be set-up which is likely to have been a contributing factor to the difficulties we experienced.

Too complicated for its own good
Reviewed on 2019/03/12
Pros
I find this program relatively easy to use. There are lots of point and click options to learn quickly.
Cons
The system is too complicated. You can't tailor it to do simple things. There are lots of shortcuts that take years of use to learn.

I was the administrator, so I would do the installation and the business owner would do necessary training.
Coming from an accounting background I was able to give guidance on setting up hierarchies in the Chart of Accounts (COA) which was helpful to some of the managers using the software. I supported everyone form the analysts to Vice Presidents
Pros
This was very easy for the users to learn. This product has an Excel interface so everyone was pretty comfortable using this application. When I needed to call support, they were fantastic and went above and beyond. They walked me through an install in our test environment (all hours).
Cons
It is necessary to copy off old structures. At my company, the structure would change almost every year (Having the US divided up into 6 segments, then 4 then 5). This made it a bit cumbersome when comparing different structures
