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,
--Tom

Switching over from ABAP to SAP FICO: Good / Bad ?

Hi Experts,
I have worked as an ABAP developer for an year . Now I have an oppurtunity to cross train and become an SAP FICO Consultant,
Do you people think its a good switch? Considering the fact that an MBA in Finance is what I have in mind some years down the lane? so whether SAP FICO would give me some value for that MBA ?is it a true story?
Please give me an insight, as I am in two minds and confused.
Regards,
Kenzene

Hi,
First of All be happy for being an ABAP Consultant. As you aware that entire R/3 works on ABAP language. Its always good to work in ABAP.
If you really get an opportunity to work in SAP FI/Co, don't loose this opportunity. It's also a wonderful module.
MBA Finance+SAP FICO - A very nice Combination
Being a FI/Co Consultant, you should have a great command on Finance topics....

They are in the same path in the jar file that they were when they were on your disk in the file system. Lets say you have a dir structure
C:\dir1\dir2\dir3\dir4\file.txt
and you cd to dir2:
cd \dir1\dir2
then you jar dir3:
jar cvf jar.jar dir3/*.*
the path to file.txt would still be /dir3/dir4/file.txt inside the jar file.
do a jar tvf jarfile.jar and take a look.

Download Stack from SAP Marketplace to my ECC 6.0 (abap+java)

Hi gurus
I have a doubt about the process of support package (stack) download. I don´t want downloading from maintenance optimizer, I´m doing this process directly from Sap Marketplace, in first step (1 of 3) I have to select the target stack (which is the stack level that I intend to make an update) and the source target (which is the actually stack level of my system)... Ok I choose them with no problem, the situation and my doubt is below that where I have a check list of "Usage Selection" (image). How can I know which one I must choose for my system... I don´t understand what is that, for instance "Strategic Enterprise Mgmt" ; E-"Recruting" or "EP Core"!!!... etc...
So how can I know which of these components I need to check to downloading for my system, how can I know that?
*Image: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/664/imagem1b.jpg
Help me please!
Best regards,
João Dimas - Portugal

Hi Sunny,
Yes ok, I understand that but... I think I didn´t explain what I want to learn/know or you didn´t understant what I want...
At download windows you see this list:
ERP Central Component (ECC)
XI Content
Strategic Enterprise Mgmt
Self Services
Supplier Relationship Mgmt
Extended E-Commerce Components
Financial Supply Chain Mgmt
cProject Suite
E-Recruiting
Learning Solution
Process Integration (XI)
Workforce Mgmt Core
Business Intelligence
Portal Content
Enterprise Portal
Easy Document Management
EP Core
Mobile Infrastructure
How can I know which of these types I must have choose for my system...? The output of that url doesn´t inform me which of these type I have in my system, it only inform me the master components or in other words which stacks I have in my system (ABAP and JAVA stack´s)!!!

Inserting row in DB4 From SAP / ABAP

Hi experts.
I'm facing a problem during the insertion of new rows on DB4 from data commng from SAP.
I have already configured TXN DBCO using next parameters:
AS4_HOST=XXXXXX;AS4_DB_LIBRARY=FILEAMP;AS4_QAQQINILIB=FTS000;
Using program ADBC_TEST_CONNECTION for testing is working fine.
I have created a test program for query and then insert a new row on table FTS000 but que query also workfine, it show the data that exists in the table. But when I´m trying to insert a new row it´s not working.
The error message es: An SQL error has occurred: FTS000 in FILEAMP not valid for operation. MSGID=CPF9898 Job=072969/DE1ADM/XDNDEV0000
I´m using next ABAP CODE

Can any one help me about the problem.
Thanks in advanced for your help.

I assume that file FILEAMP/FTS000 is not journaled. The default isolation level for an INSERT operation is "WITH UR", and if the file (table) is not journaled, the operation is failing.
You can either start journaling for the file (command: STRJRNPF), or you can perform the INSERT operation without commitment control by adding "WITH NC" to the end of the statement.
Kind regards,
Christian Bartels.

I am a SAP Netweaver Consultant , want to know from all the SAP Experts out here that according to you which are the highest paying modules in SAP ? rank them.

Hi S. Vishwam.
Many peoples says that BI , APO , BW and HANA are the highest paying modules.
But with the passage of time the value of the professional decreases because many people go work with this modules then ...supply and demand = decreases.
Only the people that really knows continue making lots of moneyand the characteristic of these people are the same:
They always read the SDN community of his modules.
They really study the sap help.
They do not want to make lots of money early on.
Hope helped you.

Requirement: Open Transaction code in SAP GUI from WD ABAP application

Hello All,
I have a WD ABAP application which is accessed from SAP GUI and Portal. In SAP GUI, there is report which calls the application URL.
In the WD application, I need to call a transaction code. At this juncture, I made use of the ITS url. But,, the SSO does not work in SAP GUI.It works only in portal.
As a solution,we identified the entry point i.e. SAP GUI or portal. Then, based on entry from SAP GUI, we tried to call the transaction code using call transaction statement. But, that replaced the wd application. We instead wanted it as a popup or atleast another session.
Now, how do we open a transaction from WD screen in another session?
Also, can we setany configurations in the system to make sure the SSO works for all the transactions i.e. ITS used in SAP GUI.?
Thank you.
Regards,
Sharath

Hi,
This question gets asked many times.
Depending on the circumstances, this can be achieved with varying degree of success
So here is some code that might help you.
This can (does) load a Windows GUI.
Some things to consider.
1. Browser settings can get in the way a bit, asking the user if they want to open a ".sap" file
2. The user may have a SAP session open so consider adding a "/o" to the system code.
3. The Custom variable might want to contain a [Options] section for "Re-use"
4. The SAPLogon_ID may be required if using SSO (SNC)
I have modified the code below, but you will get the idea.
JS
* Create the shortcut contents
call function 'SWN_CREATE_SHORTCUT'
    exporting
      i_system_command        = lv_com
      i_saplogon_id           = lv_logon_id
      i_sysid                 = sy-sysid
      i_client                = sy-mandt
      i_user                  = sy-uname
      i_custom                = lv_custom
    importing
      shortcut_string         = lv_string

      inconsistent_parameters = 1
      others                  = 2.

    exporting
      unencoded = lv_string
    receiving

      others    = 1.
* Now call to open the shortcut.
lv_file_name = 'mytrans.sap'.
lv_mime = 'application/x-sapshortcut'.
call method cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response
    exporting
      i_filename      = lv_file_name
      i_content       = lv_xstring
      i_mime_type     = lv_mime
      i_in_new_window = abap_true.
