Can a FICO consultant setup PCM?

Dear all PCM experts,
I am a new FICO consultant and our PM from a BW team seeking for a FICO consultant to help out in his PCM project.
I have never heard of PCM.
And I found that setting up PCM is not same as setting up FICO (SPRO) although some CO concepts might be needed. (correct me if I am wrong)
My questions:
1. How significant is the role of FICO consultant in setting up PCM? What should he knows or do in the project? Or is it just perform data mapping and producing Functional Specs for reports? (sorry i do not have much info on the role yet because the PM himself is not familiar with PCM)
2. What is the prospect of PCM skills for a FICO consultant?
Thank you.
Best Rgds,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
As per my idea, installation of PCM can be done by Basis consultants. Function people should perform the profitability and cost estimations by using the pre defined tasks in  PCM.

Amar.

  • From SAP ABAP to SAP FICO consultant

    Hi Experts,
    Hope you all are doing good in your area.
    I want your guidance for my sap career ahead .
    I have 4 years of experience in SAP as an certified ABAP Consultant.
    With  this year of experience I have worked on technical developments of  SAP PP/MM/FICO/SD  modules.
    Now I want to move as an Functional Consultant for FICO module .
    I had started working on the same.
    But my doubt is whether I can go ahead as SAP FICO(ABAP) consultant .
    I have programming background ,PG in Computer Application.
    What are recruiters criteria for the same .
    Can I go ahead as SAP techno functional consultant (ABAP/FICO).
    Need your guidance .
    Regards,
    Jeet

    hi Jeetendra,
    I definitely see no harm in trying to be a FICO Consultant who knows ABAP (or vice-versa). I've seen some really crazy requirements come from recruiters and this combination was one of them.
    Just to give you an idea, I've recruiters asking for ABAP with  BASIS, ABAP with SOA experience, ABAP with SCM, ABAP with PP-DS, ABAP with SLT etc apart from clubbing ABAP with any of the core Functional Modules.
    So yeah, if FICO is your "thing" and you think it will be a cake-walk then go for it.

  • Junior SAP FICO Consultant job

    My name is Yunlong. I graduated on Dec. 2013. I joined a project as a SAP FICO consultant last Jun, and work there till this Jan. I also have about 2 years experience in FICO back in China. Now I am on STEM extension, it will expire on next July. I am looking for a company who is willing to offer me H1B sponsorship. Please contact me at email [e-mail address removed: violation of The SCN Rules of Engagement] if interested or have any suggestions. Thanks a lot.

    This is not the appropriate place for posting availbility for jobs; BUT, we could still make this a useful thread.
    We have many folks post that they've graduated from college and would LIKE to get a chance to learn some SAP, but can't seem to get that initial break.
    How did you manage to get picked up on a real project straight out of college? Were you recruited directly while you were still in school? Was this a paid position? An internship? Did you have any SAP training prior to getting the job? If not, did you receive any training after getting the job?
    Please tell us more as there are many, many folks on this forum that would love to be in your shoes.
    So...
    as far as finding sponsorship for H1B visa...
    Let me sugest a different way to approach this which is actually allowable in this forum.
    If you ask... "What is the best way to get H1B sponsorship for US VISA?"  Then you might get some useful answers.
    My suggestion is to google "H1B sponsorship SAP",
    When you do that, you'll get a bunch of links for job openings from companies willing to sponsor H1B visas.
    There are other ways to do this as well.
    I have heard (but do not have direct experience) about companies that will sponsor your visa as an "employer of record" (EOR). This requires a bit of explanation. I am a US citizen and use a company (which doesn't sponsor H1B visas) as an employer of record. (In Europe, they call this umbrella corporation, I believe). The way it works, is that I am essentially an independent contractor. I drum up my own business as a freelance consultant. Once I've lined up the gig, the EOR handles all of the billing, invoicing, collections, and payroll. They make sure all of the correct taxes are withheld, etc. I also have access to their insurances (errors & omisions, liability, etc) which is generally required of independent consultants as well as benefits like long term disability, short term disability, life insurance, etc. I used to use their health insurance as well, but now I use insurance that I purchased through the "Obamacare" health exchange.
    For the privilege, the EOR takes a percentage of your gross revenues. In my case, it's quite reasonable. In the case of an H1B sponsor EOR, my guess is they take a pretty big chunk.
    Anyway, I wish you luck on your search. Please post your resume on an appropriate job board (Monster, Dice, indeed, etc) and LinkedIn for future job search actions.
    Hope this helps!
    Best regards,

    Hi
    Solution manager is used for recording issue logs if any user face issue in production client. This will enable to maintain record of each & every issue log in proper manner.
    As regards login into SAP, we require to install SAP GUI & also fill client's system details like Description, System number, Id, Server number, Router (for remote login) in new item in SAP logon pad.
    As regards SAP FICO Consultant, the main role is in creation of GL account master data & other configuration activities. All other module integration takes place by specifying GL accounts in their config. For ex: In MM, in OBYC, we specify GL accounts for inventory postings. While configuring SAP FICO Steps, it may so happen, we may forget some steps to configure. These steps can be done if some error comes in end user cycle.

  • OTC business requirements gathered by FICO consultant

    Hello Forum,
    I am fresher in SAP FICO and would appreciate it if anyone explain the business requirements gathered by FICO consultant for FI-SD integration during Blueprint phase and workshops? I know that Sales would give requirements on number of GL accounts they need, but I am not sure what other aspects and challenges discussed for FI-SD integration?
    I am not getting any help/answers in ERP Financials forum. Detailed answers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi
    From a reporting perpective, what does the finance department need from BI to say that BI is a worthwhile investiment?
    Normally Financial reports needed for the customer will be P&L, Balance sheet, Cashflow statements and the AR, AP and also Controlling and the Turn over Ratios to know about the financial funding stage about their organization based on their functional requirements.
    ii. Does BI provide any of the answers provided in i. (above) through its business content objects? If so, can you discuss how BI provides each of the solutions? (I will apprecaite a discussion for the "finance team" and not neccessarily for the IT team)
    Better to talk to your FI CO team for this to understand better at ECC functional level to know what would be the best extractors that you can report on. BI content is already there for almost FI CO reports.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/2d/955a73da4d6d41a0a6128caf274ce8/frameset.htm
    and everything mentioned clearly in that why , how , what.
    iii. If all the requirements of a finance department are already available with a newly installed BI, then
    what are the typical functions of a BI consultant to a finance department? i.e. why will a finance department find the need to bring in a BI consutant to advise them on how best to use BW in their environment?
    Though the Finance team has every Extractor at ECC side its only BI consultant who has to work on Modeling , Extraction, Reporting Part for BEx Reports. You have to Map the Fields even though its BI Content some of the Customized objects like Routines, Formulas would be there for each and every project .
    iv. How does the above discussion pertain to CO. i.e. If your discussion above is strictly for FI, can you address i, ii, iii for CO?

  • How can i do for setup a update server?

    We have a mac network environment, We want to setup a update server for upgrade all of the mac computers automatically. The Server has already installed the MAC OS X Server 10.5.5. How can I do to setup?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Eric

    Take a look at this page on the Apple site.
    http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/
    All the current manuals for Leopard Server are listed in the lower right hand column.
    You will want to look at the one for "System Imaging and Software Update Administration".
    You will find you have two choices once you configure the Software Update portion of Server. You can use Workgroup Manager to manage the clients to receive updates or you can point unmanaged clients to the local update server via command line.

  • How we can move BPC data to PCM?

    Hi Experts,
    I saw an article
    Integrating PCM 7.5 with BW
    for moving data from BW to PCM.
    But it seems to discuss only one way of data transferring which is PCM to BW since it introduce DataBridge in PCM.
    I have a question regarding the way of data transferring.
    How we can move BPC data to PCM? BPC is on BW, I think DTP(Data Transfer Package) in BW can make it happen, but needs your opinion.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    YH Seo

    If you use BPC and PCM 7.5 or later, you can use the Financial Information Management (FIM) application to connect the EPM solutions.  Some colleagues and myself have shared a How-to-Guide on this topic.  The link is [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50eb313b-aaed-2d10-3894-f3a5349e7ad7].

  • How can I copy installation/setup files of an App downloaded from Mac App Store?

    I just purchased and downloaded Xcode on my Macbook Pro and now want to install the same on my MacBook Air and iMac but I don't want download them again and again. Isin't their anyway by which I can copy the installation/setup files of that App and paste it on another Mac and use my iTunes account credentials to verify the App with Apple servers, so that they know it's legit install. And also keep the copy as backup so that, I can install that App again after I format my computer or use it for future use.
    I live in a third world country and aren't blessed with high speed and unlimited bandwidth connection.

    Issue solved:
    Answer found in Apple FAQ's site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4482
    The Mac App Store remembers all apps you purchase with your account. Apps you purchase and install from Mac App Store can also be copied to an external hard drive, USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, or backed up via Time Machine.
    If you save a copy of an app to removable media (such as an external hard drive) or file share, simply drag the app back from its storage location to your Applications folder. When you open the restored app for the first time, you may be required to sign in with the Apple ID account that was used to purchase the app.
