| [sap-career] Will Experience in Sales Be Beneficiary for Doing SAP in SD Module? Posted: 19 Mar 2012 05:07 PM PDT Question from AmitKatiyar on Mar 19 at 8:02 PM Hi SAP gurus,
I am following this forum for a long time and i have got some very useful tips and advice from this forum and i am very thankful for that , but from some time i have some confusion as i am from sales background (about 10 years of exp) which includes handling of c&f . Now i am planning to do SAP in SD module in Australia. Few days back i have read in this forum that SD module has nothing to do with sales back ground people, it is about logistic , so i am again in confusion . Please advise me .

Investing in training that is close to your current job spec. and if you have funds to cover it, full time employment; I think is not completely waste of money. Again for people who wants to break in to new profession, (totally different as current job) they should listen to your wise advice, not to engage before doing thorough research on their training investment. Training is not everything, nobody can teach you SAP (any module) in few weeks, I 100% agree, and All please listen to Tom advice as his experience in SAP can only help.

Subject: SAP Training from an Institute other than SAP Partners
SAP training from an institute other than SAP partners is how much beneficial?
There are many SAP institutes which provides good SAP training. They do not provide certification but they provide valid certificates. If I do SAP from one of those institute who is not SAP partner but are enrolled in real time SAP project implementation and services and provide real time exposure to their candidates then will it be beneficial for my career? |

Posted: 19 Mar 2012 06:38 AM PDT Reply from Roy B on Mar 19 at 9:33 AM Regular readers of this forum will know the answer to this. There is no substitute for experience. Jobs in SAP consulting are for experts and to be an expert you need years of working in the chosen field. Your 2 years of experience with IBM and Dell are a very small first step on the way. If you are serious about getting into SAP SD you first need to find an entry-level job in a company that uses SAP and then start learning. Your fancy degrees will not help you much except that you might have learned how to learn but a butterfly approach of flitting around from one subject to another will not get you anywhere. You have to get your nose down and grind away at it for several years to even get the basics. You also need to find out why the system works as it does - the configuration and customizing that goes into the application that the users see on their screens. Then, and only then, it might be worth taking courses in the field.

Subject: Future as SAP Retail Functional Consultant
You should follow your passion, so if you're not interested in WM, then by all means find another specialty. You'll want to track someone down who has worked with SAP Retail, but my understanding is that you can't specialize in *just*SAP Retail. You need to have it on top of a core module expertise (FI, CO, MM, PP, WM, etc). I could definitely be wrong on that though. I checked the current curriculum at https://training.sap.com/us/en/curriculum/sfi_re_a cademy_us-sap-for-retail-academy-g-en and it doesn't seem to mention other modules as a prerequisite.
Having said *that* though, it doesn't mean that you should go get certified and then you'll automagically get a job as an SAP Retail consultant. I would recommend that you first get a job as an end user at a company currently using SAP Retail. The typical path to an SAP career goes like this (roughly)
first job (1 to 2 years) --> SAP end user (2 to 4 years) --> in house SAP support (2 to 4 years) --> certification --> entry level SAP consultant
Since that's the typical track, if you try for certification now and apply to entry level SAP consultant jobs, you'll be competing with folks with 5 to 10 years of domain experience and (more importantly) 4 to 8 years of hands on experience. Most will have SAP certification. You can gauge for yourself what you think your chances would be in that pool of applicants.
Now... opportunities abroad. If you're open to opportunities abroad, don't wait. Apply for an end user job in SAP Retail wherever you can. The biggest problem is getting an H1B visa if you want to work in the US. Here are a few sites that might help:
-http://www.h1base.com/
-http://www.h1bvisa.org/
-http://www.h1bvisajobs.com/
If you want to get a job as an SAP consultant, you should have 5 to 10 years of domain experience, 4 to 8 of those years should be hands on with SAP, 2 to 4 of those years should be on the configuration side. Certification helps (at that point, not earlier). Ideally you should have at least one E2E implementation but of course more is better. If all of that is true, you should have no problems finding work. If you try to get a consulting job before then, you will struggle and ultimately fail (even if you get the job) because you won't be able to do the work up to expectations.
Hope this helps!

Dear Thomas Dulaney:
Your second reply and contribution letter below regarding SAP HANA contains a much bigger corn of truth in regard to SAP HANA because of the statement that you delivered in the first contribution is: SAP HANA is basically a replacement of database.
I understand that in the heat of the battle and/or in the short time period of your response, you do not have enough time to verify the content of your response. In addition to it the majority of the attendance on this forum does not have enough in-depth information and in many cases they are beginners looking urgently for advice to adjust their career plan (or dream; certainly in a large number of cases: un-realizable dreams); I therefore hope on your agreement that an advice, especially to the novice, must be located as far as it is possible to the core of the fact of the case.
One of the main purposes of SAP HANA is to accelerate the speed of response of SAP system as a whole due to the demand of the power users of the market to seller like SAP. And database is one of the most crucial ingredients of all effort which is not only pursued by SAP but everyone and everything else that one can find on the market of the world. And the performance of database of currently available technology is one of the components that must be improved to achieve the set goal. SAP HANA, in order for it to succeed as SAP seriously hopes in securing its leading market position and possibly leaving the other competitors in the dust, SAP HANA must be more than a replacement of database.
Until today, there is no verifiable access to the (uninvited) public as to the performance of SAP HANA. And SAP as inventor, producer and seller is still keeping its lips tight which supports the suspicion that the product ripeness is still missing.
Regards,
Viet Tran

Subject: SAP HANA with SAP MM
I did a little research on current certification for HANA. It is aimed mostly at folks with Data Modeling experience. (In the current SAP universe, those folks reside in the Business Intelligence arena.) There are currently no classes specifically for basis type folks, although the current classes and certification do have sections on security/authorization which is considered basis type activity. (Personally, I view security as separate and distinct from basis, but security is still covered in the basic Basis courses.)
More information can be found at https://training.sap.com/us/en/curriculum/hana_us-sap-hana-appliance-g-en.
Eventually, one would imagine, there will be HANA classes for basis type folks and HANA will become a legitimate subspecialty for basis folks. At the moment, though, basis folks will have to do the work without much in the way of guidance/certification.
Regardless, my basic point still stands, there is no particular link between MM and HANA unless you're already a data modeler.
Hope this helps!

I missed out providing an important detail - the break up of my experience as a WMS consultant and Business Analyst !!!
Well its 2 yrs as a functional WMS consultant and 2.5 yrs as a BA in Retail Domain. Given this breakup, what will be your advice ? I am keen to move SAP Retail(and for ex work on pricing and masterdata :-) ) and not SAP WMS ,as WMS is not something that i am inclined to do for long. Hence i believe that my past experience would provide immense value while working on SAP Retail.
One last thing/question - I am based out of India, and really want to explore opportunities outside India. How long should i work in India/gain experience ( no of years, E2E cycles or support projects) before i can present my case directly to recruiters/companies for opportunities abroad ?
Thanks already :)

Subject: Future as SAP Retail Functional Consultant
Basis does not sound right to me. Please read http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/What_is..._SA P_NetWeaver_System_Administration_(a.k.a._SAP_Basis) and decide for yourself. If you've been functioning as a Warehouse Management System (WMS) functional consultant for 4.5 years, you'll probably be able to pick up SAP's Warehouse Management module.
SAP's Retail industry solution has been picking up steam lately and there will always be market for someone who is competent and knowledgeable. To be clear: SAP's Warehouse Management module works across industries. SAP Retail industry solution is functionality that is layered on top. These are two separate specialties. Focus on WM first, then learn SAP's retail solution. This will make you more versatile as you can do WM for any customer. Once you have both, you will command higher rates as retail customers are going to want WM consultants who know the specifics of WM in a Retail environment.
To more specifically address your questions
1) SAP has tremendous market share and even if it disappeared today would provide gainful opportunities for decades to come.
2) SAP Retail is healthy (Walmart, Petsmart, OfficeMax, Nike, etc: many very large retailers use it). Do some googling if you need more convincing.
3) Depends on your interest. If you enjoy warehouse management, then follow your passion. Changing your career to something you don't enjoy just to pursue possibility of higher paying job is a fool's move. Do what you love. The money will take care of itself.
Hope this helps!

I do not see much of direct learning path between SAP MM and SAP HANA.
You can learn something like SRM for learning continuation.
Thanks

I agree with Dilip. You need to settle down and pick an area. You are far from SAP at this point. Please read http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/Advice_for_Re cent_College_Graduates_(aka_%22Freshers%22) to understand a typical career path that leads to SAP.
You need to find a domain about which you are passionate and learn it, hands-on, for a few years before you even think about learning SAP. In order to be successful at SAP, you need to understand the processes completely AND be able to translate them into SAP configuration. The first part is far more important than the second part and the only way to convince employers/customers that you can help them with their issues is to have a proven track record of handling similar issues.
You have a job with an MNC, so buckle down, pick an area, and work your tail off. Learn everything there is to know about that area. Look for pain points and suggest solutions or at least offer to head up an effort to fix them. This will allow you to migrate from end user to support within your organization. After a few years in the support side of the organization, you'll finally be ready to learn SAP.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

You are putting the cart before the horse. As Shahid pointed out, you need experience first, especially in FI. Once you get your MBA, you'll need to pursue secondary FI certifications and you'll need to get hired into an accounting consulting firm. No one will hire you to implement SAP FI unless you have a proven track record and all of the prerequisite FI qualifications. I would not recommend getting SAP certifications until all of the other conditions are met and that is probably 5 to 8 years after MBA graduation.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Please read http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/What_is..._SA P_NetWeaver_System_Administration_(a.k.a._SAP_Basis) and decide for yourself. If you've been functioning as a Warehouse Management System (WMS) functional consultant for 4.5 years, you'll probably be able to pick up SAP's Warehouse Management module.
SAP's Retail industry solution has been picking up steam lately and there will always be market for someone who is competent and knowledgeable. To be clear: SAP's Warehouse Management module works across industries. SAP Retail industry solution is functionality that is layered on top. These are two separate specialties. Focus on WM first, then learn SAP's retail solution. This will make you more versatile as you can do WM for any customer. Once you have both, you will command higher rates as retail customers are going to want WM consultants who know the specifics of WM in a Retail environment.
To more specifically address your questions
1) SAP has tremendous market share and even if it disappeared today would provide gainful opportunities for decades to come.
2) SAP Retail is healthy (Walmart, Petsmart, OfficeMax, Nike, etc: many very large retailers use it). Do some googling if you need more convincing.
3) Depends on your interest. If you enjoy warehouse management, then follow your passion. Changing your career to something you don't enjoy just to pursue possibility of higher paying job is a fool's move. Do what you love. The money will take care of itself.
Hope this helps!

As an MM consultant or support person, you will not interact directly with HANA. You might be consulted for MM specific knowledge if your customer was implementing HANA for just one specific slice of MM, but the heavy lifting is going to be done by a technical specialist.
Hope this helps!

Mehmood the better way to find out the opportunities in Pakistan is to meet people who are in the field. Find out who is providing trainings. Look for companies who have implemented SAP.
Professional in Pakistan can guide you better than people sitting out side.
And like every one else said. Pakistan is not the limit. SAP is in demand world over.
BTW MBA from which university.

I will recommend, just check in which field you did MBA, and if you have
interest in Fico , better go for that.
Mark is good for FICO and globally demand for FICO consultant.
Have a good day.
Thanks,
