| Axapta is Microsoft’s flagship ERP system and the most exciting ERP product currently on
the scene. If Axapta hasn’t come to a computer near you yet, it will soon.
We’d like to start by offering the most valuable piece of advice we have for anyone working
with Axapta (and with any complex system, for that matter): Keep it simple. Implement it
in clearly defined and documented increments. For business consultants, architects, and
developers we would add this: stick to standards whenever possible, develop simple solutions,
and keep the code simple and well-commented.
We hope you will find learning Axapta to be a thrilling experience. As you progress through
the book you’ll find clear instructions for getting started with the various modules, along with
numerous techniques and strategies for getting the most out of them. There is no better way to
learn than to see the thing working for yourself, so whether you’re a developer, architect, business
decision maker, or end user, the first thing you’ll want to do is get the system installed and
running so you can work through the examples as you read the book. Hopefully, you will experience
that great “aha!” feeling as things fall into place and you start to become productive with
the technology.
We have packed a tremendous amount of value into this book and we hope it will help
you be successful with Microsoft Axapta.
The purpose of this book is to get you started with Microsoft Axapta—one of the world’s leading
ERP solutions. To be more precise, the purpose is to get you started quickly and without spending
thousands of dollars, man weeks of training, and a lot of time and effort hunting around for
and reading what is often redundant and/or useless product documentation (we’ve listed useful
documentation where applicable). |
