The presentation of the features is scenario oriented i.e. most of the features are demonstrated in terms of small business scenarios. The eresource contains the scenario descriptions screen shots detailed screen cams and ABAP program source to enable the reader to create all objects related to the scenario and runexecute them. The underlying concepts of a featurecommand are conveyed through execution of these handson programs. Further exercises to be performed independently by the reader are also proposed.
