Dear Reader,

One size fits all? Not in today’s business climate! With this book, you have the opportunity to walk along with two ABAP developers, Christine and Sean, as they work together to find custom enhancements that meet a business’s SD custom requirements. Thanks to the integration of practical instruction and a fictional busi- ness case, you’ll feel as if an ABAP expert is standing by your side as you explore each real-world scenario. Not only will you understand how to find the best way to customize a system, you’ll also understand how to piece together different experi- ence levels and knowledge bases to get the most out of your team.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Koch on his first (and hopefully not last) book. His enthusiasm for the project was extremely catching, and he even came up with the unique idea of adding an illustration to the book! He constantly impressed me as he juggled his consulting jobs (which of course give him the valuable experi- ences and expertise we’re always looking for to write such a book!), with writing and meeting the deadlines.
