SAP ECC Reviews & Product Details

I like most about SAP ECC is its reliability in handling end-to-end procurement activities. In my current role as Global Buyer – Indirect Procurement at Ingenia Polymers & Chemicals, I use SAP ECC daily for creating and tracking purchase requisitions (PR), converting them into purchase orders (PO), and monitoring goods receipt (GRN).

I regularly use transactions like ME51N (PR creation), ME21N (PO creation), and ME23N (PO tracking). It gives clear visibility of order status, pending approvals, and vendor details in one place. Integration with finance also helps in tracking invoice status and payments, which makes coordination easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike about SAP ECC is that the interface is not very user-friendly, especially for new users. It takes time to learn different transaction codes and navigation. Also, generating customized reports is not very easy and often requires support from the technical team. Sometimes the system becomes slow when handling large data, which affects productivity.

What I like most about SAP ECC in my daily operation is the strong integration between SD, MM, and FI, which helps keep business processes smooth and largely error-free.

In SD, I value the end-to-end Order-to-Cash cycle, where sales orders, deliveries, and billing are tightly connected and easy to track. In MM, the Procure-to-Pay process, together with real-time inventory updates, helps maintain accurate stock levels and supports efficient procurement. In FI, the automatic postings generated from SD and MM provide real-time financial accuracy without requiring manual intervention.

Overall, the biggest advantage for me is that a single transaction can ease of use and move seamlessly across modules, improving efficiency, transparency, and control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SAP ECC is very powerful, one limitation I’ve noticed is that it can feel less user-friendly than newer systems, particularly when it comes to the interface and overall navigation.

In SD and MM, certain processes still require multiple steps across different transactions, which can slow users down and make day-to-day work feel more cumbersome. In FI, configuration and troubleshooting can be complex, often requiring deep technical knowledge to resolve issues efficiently. Reporting can also be less flexible at times unless you rely on additional tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the feature of linking multiple products within the QM Module in SAP ECC. It's especially useful for me when I have multiple products loaded in different stability cabinets, as the QM module can link them easily using transaction code QM01. The initial setup of SAP ECC was very easy for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most important thing I would like to be enhanced with SAP ECC is the notification alarm system for each interval. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use SAP ECC for invoice processing, and I appreciate how it streamlines the AP process by ensuring the correct PO, GR, and SES are in place before posting the invoice. The reports, such as ME2L, ME2N, and FBL1N, are very beneficial for checking the status of various elements. ME2L provides a list of purchase orders per vendor, ME2N lists PO numbers per plant and by vendor or material group, and FBL1N shows vendor open items that are yet to be paid.

While posting documents via MIRO, there could be improvements on the line items. We can put line items in full screen to view more details. Also, the initial setup of SAP ECC is quite challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP ECC Runs on old Databases not on S/4HANA so feels a bit slow and sluggish which limits the Rela-time Insights.

Not Intutive GUI ad very High Implemenatation Cost while we were migrating it to S/4HANA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that SAP ECC is a great software for collaborating data and provides detailed reporting for SD and PP models. The integration between all models, including PP, SD, FI, and CO, is excellent, especially for COP analysis and profitability analysis, which can be done customer-wise and region-wise. It helps provide management decision-making support based on SAP data, and the SAP ECC experience is great. The collection and integration of data across all modules is seamless, allowing for successful sub-ledger and monthly closing activities, which is helpful for management presentations. The ease of setup with the help of SAP people and support is impressive, and the integration from manual details to SAP was user-friendly. The integration of different modules like MMSD, CO, and FI is excellent, making SAP ECC a very well excellent product. Many people at our company are very happy with the user-friendly version of SAP ECC, finding it helpful to gather information from SAP. Overall, its performance is very fast, and I would definitely recommend SAP ECC to friends and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be improved with the help of SAP S/4HANA, which is the next version. ECC can be upgraded to S/4HANA, which will be helpful. In SAP ECC, there is no S/4HANA. So that is one improvement that can be suggested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that SAP ECC integrates all the modules like ISH Healthcare, MM, FICO, HCM, and PP easily. It's pretty easy to host, and I find the materials management and financials and costing to work well, especially since they can be integrated properly on one system with the correct configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration into other systems and modifying or enhancing the ECC system is difficult, especially for SAP ISH and ISH Med. SAP did not cater for SAP ISH and ISH Med properly, so due to healthcare procedures, laws, and compliance, it becomes harder to enhance the system to the health laws. If you try, it requires a lot of development work and testing to ensure it's working properly. The initial setup wasn't easy because the infrastructure wasn't available, so we needed to set up everything ourselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ease of accessing all relevant data across multiple teams in our organization. It gives me a clear view of completed activities, upcoming schedules, and who is responsible for the next steps. This transparency acts like a roadmap, reducing my work time since I don’t have to wait for responses from others. The visibility over the entire process builds trust that everything is on track and on schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SAP ECC is strong in process integration, I find its lack of built-in dashboards and real-time analytics challenging. It doesn’t provide background automation for data insights, so I often need to download everything and work manually. For me, the biggest drawback is the limited data analytics capability—it slows down decision-making and adds extra steps to my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
