Your program is complete and utter shit. Please fix it before I bludgeon you to death with a frozen hamster.

TdC · Jan 5, 2006

Agree with you Bods.

Dont work FOR SAP, but our main system is (or used to be) SAP before some bright arse decided that they could code some parts of it better.

SAP would be a dream come true compared to the crap I have to use but there you go...

Chilly · Jan 5, 2006

what is it? and where do I send the dogshit in an envelope?

Embattle · Jan 5, 2006

My dad hates both SAP and Lotus Notes, yet they seem the two most common.

It's an "integrated accounting package" with a mind of its own which refuses to work properly. Oh yeah and it's German. What more do you need to know?

caLLous · Jan 5, 2006

I don't know about my parents, but I surely do hate Lotus Notes as well.

Lotus Notes is the lovechild of anal sex between Wij and Deebs :eek7:

Lazarus · Jan 5, 2006

its not just and accounting package bods - it fucks up your logistics, transportation, warehousing etc as well.

Wij · Jan 5, 2006

It's not got any better in the last 7 years then

My first job was supporting a multi million pount sap deployment project, it sucked then and probably does now!

Hmm one of my colleagues major clients recently transferred over to this and he's had a nightmare trying to help get it up and running for them. Glad to see he's not alone.

GDW · Jan 6, 2006

We use SAP as well and I fucking hate it with a vengance.

Kari · Jan 6, 2006

Never met anyone who actually likes the mess that is SAP. Our client uses it, therefore by proxy we have to use it, it's a fucking abortion of a system.

Our sister site transfered it's whole warehousing system to an SAP based one, cue closed for 2 weeks while every IT bod in the company tried to get the bastard working. And shit loads of lost money. Haha.

Lazarus · Jan 6, 2006

SAP is fine if you use it the way it is MEANT to be used.

Most companies fuck about with it, making it fit in with their existing model - which screws everything over

That's the thing tho, SAP claim its a custom designed accounting package, but it really isnt, it just has a few modules you can select then you've to do all the customising yourself - which is where most of the problems come from. If SAP did the customising, I'm sure it would be fine.

LOL Bods.

Never thought you had that amount of humour in you matey :lol:

IT people never say this. It's like wishing an actor 'good luck'.

Embattle · Jan 6, 2006

SAP - Produced by SAPs, Tested by SAPs, Sold by SAPs and Used by SAPs.

Too many SAPs = Super Anal Probe.

PS Waffle ignore me.

Lazarus · Jan 6, 2006

problem with SAP is that it was developed by business users (not IT people) and its a "tad cumbersome"

Bodhi · Jan 6, 2006

No, the problem with SAP is it's complete and utter dogshit. Even the colour schemes suck ass.

Lazarus · Jan 7, 2006

do you just use SAP or do you actually configure it Bods?

Ah, spoken like a true IT person. "Our code is perfect, its the fucking users who screw it up man"

I use it at the council. At the present moment it's thrown a wobbly and decided not to let us credit any schools if we take money out their account by mistake. I say we, but it's normally SAP that's taken the money out for us. We still can't figure out why. Then it decides to get all stroppy and not let me into the transaction I use to do all my work because its claiming the order is already open in another transaction I closed 5 minutes ago. And the colour schemes still suck ass.

no - i REALLY mean it was people from the business side that developed the way SAP works with little input from the IT personnel. Truly

try running the ST22 command to see if the order is locked by someone else.

SilverHood · Jan 7, 2006

Ugh, SAP.

Whenever anyone mentions SAP problems at work, I slowly creep away or try to be busy off site.

Where I work, SAP stands for.... Start Adding Patches.

The SAP helpdesk is bigger than the IT helpdesk where I work, though not everyone knows it exists, so they come badger the server admins when they can't print from SAP on their new gizmo printer.
