Great book for end users and implementors.
It is very hard to write a book of this size and at the same time cover all aspects of Oracle Mfg. and Supply Chain Mgmt modules and I congratulate the authors for having done a commendable job at that. The first thing I see as different from other books and Oracle documentation is the fact that the topics are organized by functional areas rather than individual Oracle modules. This approach gives the complete picture of a business process and then illustrates how each oracle module is used in that business process.
Instead of just talking about what each modules can do, the authors have tried to blend plain functional content along with the discussion of oracle specific implementation of that process, which would help even novices to understand why something is done in oracle in the way it is done. One example is the way they discuss "Enterprise Structure" in the second chapter, starting from the Enterprise at the top, going down all the way up to Stock Locators.
Another good thing is that the authors have used logical data models to illustrate certain areas of the mfg. and SCM modules. There are also lots of table references through the book. This will be of interest for someone who is doing custom reports.
Finally, I've found that similar books lack in the number and accuracy (filled with appropriate data) of screenshots. This one has numerous screenshots that aid in better understanding of the subject being discussed.

Great content...Great book!!
This book has filled in a void for a subject as vast and complex as Oracle Manufacturing and Supply Chain.
The book is nicely ordered and covers the a lot of topics in great depth with good examples and diagrams whereever necessary to explain the concepts.
The book maintains a good flow from topic to topic to better understand the concept and coordination between various modules of the e-business suite.
A very well thought and very well written book!

Priceless
I just got this book 3 days ago, and it is better than I expected it to be even after reading the rave reviews. It is the first book you should get when joining an Oracle apps project. I am going to be building a Data Warehouse on Oracle Apps, and my team has not been involved in transactional implementation (surprise??). After weeks of being lost in the conversations/meetings, now we can use this book to quickly understand the lingo and issues of the implementation.Priceless.
