SAP isn't that bad.

Dumbass.

Once I accidentally hit the SAP button on the remote while watching a football game and it made the announcer speak Mexican.

This is why Trump won.

It really is absolute garbage, sold with the eurotrash accent that's so good at lubing up nouveau-riche idiots.

It's pretty easy to use with repetition and makes my job easy. I wouldn't want to work anywhere at this point that wasn't on SAP


If you only use 5 codes per day and never step out of that box then you're going to inevitably run into issues where you can't process or data mine something you need to.

Learn all the codes that you could potentially use and save them. Once you understand the platform you can get what you want out of pretty much any code- but sometimes it does take some critical thinking and trial and error

you'll get used to it. I can get around in it pretty good but it took me about a year. I had to unlearn from our old system.

The entire process flow to get anything done. None of the steps are in a linear fashion, several things must be done and the forms submitted prior to fields on said forms required for continuation are available for entry, and nothing is labeled in a way that’s makes it easy to understand what the hell they are looking for.

Yes yes it’s probably not SAP’s fault that whoever implemented it for the company I work for set it up
In such a difficult to use way, but man it takes for ever to get simple shite done


Preach.
I spend more time in front of the computer now a days than in front of customers. It's ridiculous how time consuming it is to simply generate a quote for a customer.

It gets easier with time/use .... in 10-15 years you will zip thru it and know all the T-codes.

I'm sure your employer provides free EAP, check it out.

Hey man, if we made it work out of the box than you wouldn't have to keep paying us.

I use to piss off my brother by hitting the SAP button on his VCR as I was leaving his crib.

I used to live a couple kilometers from the SAP corporate headquarters in Walldorf. That could have been me!

Have you ever sat and counted out the number of systems you have to use to get shite done at work? How many different usernames and passwords with differing complexity and history requirements?

It's absurd. As an example of dumb shite: I spent nearly two hours working on a frickin expense report yesterday . . . for about 15 expenses totaling around $500. Which is absolutely fricking dumb.

But, I'm trying to learn to not give as much of a shite. I can't change the systems, if they're inefficient, then the company can just expect that I'll get the work done as fast as their fricked up processes allow.
