A tutorial i did as a consulting help for my customer

As a pre-sales i am no longer dedicated into the consulting area, but sometimes, actually i did. Below you will see a tutorial i did in order to help the team of the book publisher Vigot-Maloine
(very well known french editor for medicine book) . The issue was to help them to customize into the system (SAP ERP) how to create automatically the book title master data in reference of the book project and how to calculate automatically its standard price based on all the costs calculated at the project level.
I did the tutorial trying to make it very clear for the Vigot-Maloine team, describing all the necessary steps to build this features in a simple and almost funny way. Additionally i checked that i have not missed some important steps for my customer that i would have judged not worth it because too obvious ( it is often the case with the tutorials : the authors forgot to mention some very important points that are too obvious to them and for which they assume everybody knows perfectly)
For instance, when it comes to my software SAP, i am tempted to say "go into the customizing" and then i describe in details how a given customizing point works. But the problem for a newbie is "how to get actually into the customizing ? where it is ? i can't go in it and i am locked !"

So here you will find this tutorail, it 's my work, i like consulting when i can help people. Vigot-Maloine team was satisfied with it :
