    2. Hello,

      Unfortunately, the book does not have an India edition.

      My second book on "Supply Chain Analytics with SAP BW" is published in India (Tata-McGrawHill). It should be available sometime next month.

      Thanks,

    3. Dear Amol Palekar,

      Excited to hear that news. Curious to know is it the same replica of your sap press book? The reason why ask if I buy this book in next month, will it cover the topic which other book (Sap Press) has?

      Thanks in advance and do you what exact date it is available?

      reply awaited...

    4. No, there is hardly any overlap between the two books. The focus of the new book is on exploring implementation of supply chain KPIs using the standard business content. See the link below for a preview.

  7. Hi Venkatesh I would like to ask you regarding difference if there is in two different books by Amol, Bharat and Shrikant on BW 7.0 and BW 7.3. And if I have to buy which one should I go for? Please let me know.

  8. Go for the second edition, which covers 7.3, I don't think you need to worry about 7.4 as its focussed more on BW HANA
