I know this thread is a year old, but I just wanted to say for the Internet archives. SAP STILL SUCKS!

As an IT Consultant who has witnessed the total destruction of 5 clients' budgets by SAP, I was frustrated to see our senior managed decide that SAP is the "right" solution.

In some ways I should not be surprised considering my own company relies of its former reputation to deliver s*&t solutions from outsourced software that runs like crap.

Thanks to SAP all of our old reports are gone and we have absolutely no way to measure P&L outside of using Microsoft Excel.

Advice to others: If your management want to implement SAP, tell them to save he money, throw out all your great customization and and use Microsoft Excel to manager everything. That is what you will be doing in six months after your SAP implementation goes live.
