APPEAL

After completion my certification, I practiced very consistently and studied

various books on ERP Projects and implementation activities in depth. I have
gone through the Project methodology adopted in my previous project
10 implementation; I tried to make a black and white for the customization activities
of a general project. The activities are more or less similar in ERP
implementation projects. The small specific requests from the organizations
have to deal independently. In India, there is a lacuna in the supply of books for
the learners and beginners to understand the product module of this nature.
15 The available books are useful for the senior consultants. Hence I made an
attempt to compile the configurations and other relevant information exclusively
for the junior consultants who are in the beginning of their profession. I have
tried to compile most of the configurations, as a gist of implementation activities.
I tried to satisfy the requirements of end to end project in respect of fico module.
20 While preparing this book, I tried to write in my own style, not to reproduce the
extracts as it is.

25 I personally extend my gratitude to my family members, who have given

me a good support for this cause. I am thankful to my friends and co
consultants who have extended their warmth support to complete this task with
in a short span of time.
