Question I have is, has anyone recently gone through this and what can I expect moving forward?


yes. sap was installed in my co about 8 years ago. when i went through the first training, it was very confusing. however, don't get too discouraged. your i.t. dept. will tweek it mulitple times to make it more user friendly. it's not bad whenever you get to know it.

be patient. it takes a while.

we did an upgrade from an older version of SAP to the newest version about 2 years ago.

Sourcing and manufacturing/planning were running well within about a month. Sales, invoicing, and service applications took about a year before they were fully operational and bug free. I work with invoicing and sales documents along with receiving goods into stock and goods issues of finished goods from both WM and IM Slocs.

It's a huge endeavor, but what I am about to control and accomplish now is pretty amazing.

TL;DR: It can take 12 months or more for full integration, but the power and depth of it is amazing. All I would advise is to document and track everything. Don't let things pile up "waiting for it to become operational". Break out Excel and get track everything that applies to you if need be.
