SAP Implementation Consulting & ERP
SAP Implementation Consulting & ERP - Startupistan Germany · study notes for revision.
These are my working notes from the SAP Implementation Consulting & ERP programme (Startupistan, Germany). These are study notes for revision - the course material reorganised, condensed, and turned into tight notes with tables, diagrams, and copy-pasteable commands instead of the original video snapshots. The aim is a set of pages I can actually learn and revise from, and that anyone could pick up and follow.
