Requesting advise for career in SAP SD

Greetings Expert,
       I am Thanraaj. My educational qualification is MBA Marketing and B.Tech Automobile engineering. I have an experience of 9 months in sales [ retail sales - ICICI securities ltd.]. I have resigned my job now.
       I am interested in doing SAP and so i consulted a SAP Authorized partner at Chennai. They are recommending me to do SAP SD module. The module duration is 25 days with a fee of 3.6 lac's. They are assuring for 100% placements too.
      My concerns are;
1. Am I really eligible for doing the SAP SD module? Is my experience enough?
2. After doing this module and getting certified, what is the possibility of getting placed as a fresher in SAP SD with 9 months of experience in sales?
Kindly, assist me to take a right decision.
Thanks in advance,..

Is my experience enough?
Honestly, not enough to become as a SD Functional Consultant
They are assuring for 100% placements too.
Almost all training centers will give this promise because they dont want to lose the amount what you are going to pay. But at the end of your training, they will tell that if any suitable opening comes, will let you know by email. For this, you need to continuously follow up with them. If I am correct, statistics says hardly 1% of the student get placement through their training centers. Of course, there are certain IT firms who employ SAP freshers, give basic training to handle tickets and put you in some project. For this, you are prepared to give an undertaking for couple of years. If you ask me which one to choose whether SD or CRM, I would prefer SD since it has wide opening globally than CRM.

Hello Adviser /expert,

So any one can suggest authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.

Whether its right decision to change my career from Core sector to SAP-PM..??
Is there very good scope in SAP-Pm for me after 09 years of Core Maintenance field..???
Guide me
Warm Regard
Ravin

Ravindra,
SAP PM is very niche Module, very in demand module, at the same time, being niche, getting into it and getting 1 implementation is also difficult.
your decision of joining SAP authorized training is the best option, as a certified consultant, you have more chances to get a break as fresher and you can continue working on it, else it would waste of your intellectual energy.
you just search sap.com training or email them or chat with them, they will give u the training center details,
but very less training classes are available. Try you will get lucky soon

Dear Respected Members,
Myself Abhinav Chandra , having a PG Degree in HR and a work experience of 8 yrs plus in HR Domain . At presently, I am associated as as Manager - Human Resources with India's 2nd largest Steel Manufacturing organization . My organization is planning to implement SAP HCM module in this May 2015 and I am designated with the responsibility for its implementation in my organization .
Pursuing a career in SAP HCM was always my dream since 3 yrs when had a refresher training in SAP HCM domain in 2012 . Now my question is if after gaining a SAP HCM Implementation experience and a SAP Certification with core HR exp of 8 yrs , how will it benefit in making a career move in SAP.
Request you all kindly update with your desired suggestions.
Thanks and Regards
Abhinav Chandra

Hi Abhinav,
First I am very glad to hear that you have sound domain knowldge in HR. So for a person like you SAP Implementation experience will be fantastic advantage. Off course if you wanna do certification on SAP HCM that you can always do but for a person like you who has already sound domain knowldge if you add SAP HCM Implementation experienece in your bucket you are done.
You know the respective HR Processes so thats a big advantage. However following steps would be good for you:
Participate in Requirement Gathering workshop
Participate in Design Process and finalise the design
Try to know the SAP Configuration to some extent
Involve in SAP HCM Process testing
Good amount of involvement in SAP Authorisation issues as well.
Thanks & Regards

CAreer in SAP BASIS comaprision with SAP GRC/Security

Hi Everyone,
I am an SAP BASIS consultant with 2 years of experience working in a MNC company,
I want to change my career to SAP GRC/SAP Security, i have some basic knowledge on SAP Security,
COuld you please advice me, which one to choose,?
Does SAP GRC/Security has demand , and can we get oportunities to work abroad compared to SAP BASIS ?
which one has more scope SAP BASIS or SAP Security/GRC ?
Because in BASIS, i am not getting enough scope to work on some good things like Installation, upgrades, Migration,
i am doing a very basic kind of work like tranports, job scheduling, monitoring, and other small activities ?
So request you people to advice me ?

Hi Rakesh
I saw your post in GRC and was waiting of it to appear here
First up - 2 years is still junior. You may find batch jobs, transports, monitoring, etc all mundane but it is a foundation and learning ground work and foundations to being a good Basis Administration. And one things for sure, an awesome basic (I name my best-techy-friend) makes a huge difference on project timelines and deliverables for the rest of us.
Installation and Upgrades come with time. Whilst still performing junior tasks you could focus on reading up on approaches in case an opportunity in your job comes us and be prepared to prove to your management that you are ready for a bigger responsibility.
Switching to GRC/Security would be pointless unless you have a desire to learn GRC or Security. These are my background and they are undervalued until things go wrong (insurance policy in a way).
If you do switch you will reset your 2 years of domain experience back to 0 and you will start off with password resets and basic user administration
It takes time to work through the ranks. It was 3 years before I got to build my first role. I spent my first few years in security on email chasing approvals, password resets, user account creation, running reports for audit - sounds familiar to what you are doing now?
You have to master the basics before you are trusted and ready for the more complex activities. By knowing what you are doing now you will be more successful when the time comes to step up and do migrations, upgrades and installations. Support production by mastering you technical analysis skills is how you can break through being a fresher/junior
Regards
Colleen
Ps - if your motivation is more than "good things" happy to answer questions specific to security and GRC.
Also, boring doesn't mean it can't get interesting nor does it mean it's a worthless activity: SPAU transport imported before patching!!

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account "iCloud" failed." Been to Apple - no luck. Ideas?

I have a problem syncing iCal on my Macbook air (10.7.5) and my iPhone 4s (5.1.1) over iCloud. The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue.
I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
Many Thanks.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

Questionnaire for users of SAP GUI (closed)

When using SAP GUI *) for a while, users tend to open new session windows and maybe new connections to other SAP system instances as well. With the increasing number of windows, it can be difficult to find and switch to the session you want to proceed working with.
SAP is currently looking into ways to improve the session handling in the SAP GUI. Options including a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_document_interface">multiple document interface (MDI)</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabbed_document_interface">tabbed document interface (TDI)</a> approach are being discussed. The latter has been adopted by many web browsers for similar reasons.
In order to ease the process of finding an appropriate interaction model, it would be helpful to have a good understanding of how people are working with the SAP GUI today.
For this purpose we would like to ask you to provide feedback on the questions below. You can either directly reply in this thread or send a mail to woersi (at) sap (dot) com with the subject starting with "Questionnaire".
Note: The new approach will be an additional option and will not replace the current implementation.
1. What is your role using the SAP GUI?
a) admin/technical/developer
b) business user
c) consultant
d) other
2. Do you think the multiple document interface or tabbed document interface could make handling of multiple windows in SAP GUI more convenient?
a) yes
b) no (better to leave it up to the window management of the platform SAP GUI is running on like entries in the Windows taskbar)
3. In how many different SAP systems are you (or the users in your company) typically working in parallel?
a) one
b) two
c) more
4. How many sessions in total do you (or the users in your company) have open in parallel?
a) one or two
b) three to six
c) more
5. What do you think is the preferred window arrangement for end users?
a) each SAP session in a separate window
b) all SAP sessions (of all connections) in one single window
6. How would you like to use the SAP Easy Access menu?
a) show it only at the beginning like it is today
b) display it on request (like after clicking on some area) when you want to launch a new transaction
c) you are not really using it
7. Which SAP GUI(s) you are using in your company?
a) SAP GUI for Windows
b) SAP GUI for Java
c) SAP GUI for Html
8. Please add any comments you may have regarding the questions above.
Please send your feedback by July 27th at the latest.
Looking forward to your input.
Rolf-Martin Woersinger
SAP GUI for Java project lead
*) Please consider the term SAP GUI representing both SAP GUI for Windows and SAP GUI for Java

1. a)
2. a) yes
3. one or two (but almost always, with multiple windows (e.g. 6) in
each system.
4. Usually, three to six - but ten isn't unusual.
5. a) each SAP session in a separate window (because it makes
comparisons between sessions easier - also it helps with cutting and
pasting between sessions).
6. b) display it on request (like after clicking on some area) when
you want to launch a new transaction
7. a) SAP GUI for Windows and b) SAP GUI for Java
8. On the Mac implementation of the JavaGui, the Windows menu
currently identifies sessions by a System name and a session number
(for example, "Dev(3)"). I'd really like more information to identify
the session, perhaps adding the transaction code (for example,
"Dev(3)SE38").

Return request / Credit for Returns & Internal Credit memo

Hi Gurus,
We managed a complete flow for return request with delivery.
The good issue is not done.
Even if the GI is not complete, I can create a Credit for Returns (RE).
But when I create the Internal Credit for Returns (IG), SAP displays error message "Goods issue has not been posted for the delivery".
Behavior is different according to the billing document type.
Thanks.
Stéphane

Hello,
The process of billing in case of return is perfect example of Copying control setting.
Credit for Returns (RE) --> As you are able to bill the Return after creating the delivery and without doing PGI, it is a order related billing.
Internal Credit for Returns (IG) --> Check whether for this document, it is order related billing or delivery relayed billing. If order related billing then there must be "Copying requirements" and this has been set in such a way that PGI has to be done first and then we can do the Billing.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you are actually implementeing this architecture at clients place, then it should be implemented even if client insist.

If you want to used this Architechture for trail purpose or demo where you dont have option of having the luxury of hardware.
Then you can try such thing.
