What do you dislike about SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization?

As a lot have said, SAP's user interface is quite old-fashioned and could probably use some fine-tuning and updates. Still, for the most part, the difficulty is often navigating the various options as sometimes, at least for me, they don't click properly, and exiting them can be tricky.

It's best to do your due diligence regarding what you need and ask to see if this module solves that problem. SAP is a very expansive software and can be pretty expensive to implement, so be sure your organization and users are up for the challenge and the investment.
