Logistics

The first advice I got as a junior SAP consultant was to document problems, error situations ( a message and solution ) I was facing working with the SAP software ( ERP ). Have I  relied on it? No. As the errors I got were easy to solve and did not require much effort from my side and it did not encourage me to do it (~ useless work ). After a period of time, I understood,  the more beneficial was to document schematically the main processes and data model I worked with within SAP software or in the custom solution ( 3rd party, Z/Y, */ developments). Instead of small parts, the focus is to be on more principal things. 

As humans we are limited and we cannot keep everything in mind. Therefore, the recording of the short notices is the method allowing us to prioritize, focus, and unload the knowledge/information from the operative memory, nevertheless, it is easier to come back later.
At first glance, the page (knowledge base) seems like a copy of the documentation, and it has no much sense as it is already available in the SAP community ( blogs and documentation ).  It is worth noting, the intention was to create a page, where I could collect the base information enriched with SAP notes, my own comments to simplify the content for further reviewing. Mainly it is split per a functional module and per a process if it is possible. Probably you also find it useful for you.
