Kindly suggest which module to choose ?

Hi,
I have done BBA & MBA (Finance & Marketing). Having 6.5 years of experience in Sales n Marketing in FMCG sector. Currently working as Area Sales Manager but now I want to do SAP module. But now m totally confused which module to opt as someone suggested to go for SD as u r from sales background, some suggested doesn't matter from which background you are so you can opt for BI as there is a huge scope for job. It would b great if seniors SAP consultant will guide n suggest me to choose the module.
M looking for your valuable advise so that I can decide as i don't have any knowledge about SAP n their module.
Regards,
Rituraj

Hi Rituraj,
Its great to know that you have good amount of domain experience
Off course you will get different opinion from different people as their view points are based on some key facts, thought process, their perception etc.
However I would say you should think logically for your case.
First : If we go by your education then Finance & Marketing are suitable for you.
Second: However we should not undermine your experience in Sales & Marketing. And if we go by your experience then you should be in SAP SD which your education also supports partly.
Third: If we consider your FMCG expereince then SAP IS Retail would be nice option as A challenging market, coupled with competition from around the world and an abundance of information available at shoppers’ fingertips, makes today’s shopper more powerful than ever.
Fourth: Reporting is there in every sap module and being in BI would make sense if your focus is only reporting but considering the fact that sap is constantly upgrading only BI experience may not be great as HANA is in the cards and there is a paradimn shift already noticed in many organisation.
Fifth: Dont underestimate your interest however while pursuing your interest then consider all facts instead of only interest as you need other stuff as well other than only interest to taste success for your any career in this case being sap career.
So based on the above facts about your education, experience, interest probably you can think about SAP SD & IS Retail. Also dont forget while learning sap, focus is mostly on business process as ultimately you will be configuring, testing and implementing respective business processes, so if we dont understand the business processes itself then learning sap would be not much of use as i am sure you dont want to brand yourself just as a configurator or testor for your lifetime.
Thank you very much and have a good day ahead.
Get back to me in case you need any further clarification.
Thank you.
Thanks & Regards

  • Which module do I choose for reading voltages

    Hi All,
    Could someone give me some advice in there opinion on which SCXI
    voltage module to choose please.
    I want to log analog voltages ranging from the low mvolts to volts.
    I'm looking at between the SCXI-1100, the SCXI-1102 and the
    SCXI-1102B/C. Could someone also explain the filtering rate as well,
    what effect this has on the signal etc.
    Thanks in advance
    Nat

    Hi Natalie,
    I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but probably, the best solution is to call your local NI Field/Sales Engineer and explain him/her what you are trying to do. Also, it will be easier to disscuss price, performance and other parameters that must be considered when taking such a decision.(usually, his/her e-mail/phone is in the bottom-left page corner when logging to "MyNI" account)
    Good Luck

  • Some kinds of enhancement... Which would you choose?

    Hi all.
    There are some kinds of enhancement in SAP.
    (EXIT, BADI, OPEN-FI, Enhancement spot  ...etc)
    If there are some kinds of enhancement match your purpose, which do you choose?
    For example, I'm trying to enhance in MM01.
    EXIT: MGA00001
    BADI: BADI_MATERIAL_REF
    Both of enhancement can be function.
    I wonder which is the best...
    Which would you choose?
    and What is the reason?
    thanks.

    it depends on your requirement.i personally believe in BADI as it include less coding with promising results
    there is no such answer which is better it depends on your way of coding or in which you feel comfortable.
    For difference beteen BADi/Exit you may search in SCN i'm sure you will get many many examples.i found one for you.

  • Sap career in which module - reg.

    Hello Guru's
    This is challa, from Hyderabad, i have lot of doubts in choosing the sap career. I found many sap modules in which i can't find to choose.
    i am working as a Logistics executive (import & Export) in a company, i am very much interested in SAP. My Aim is to get a job in SAP industry.
    So, please suggest me sir which module is suitable to move forward in SAP, i am very much confused so please kindly help me sir.
    now my age is 29 yrs is this age is write to get job in SAP. so please give me complete guidance  sir.
    Regards
    CHALLA

    Hi Sudhakar,
    The best suitable module / system suits for you is SAP SD (cover logistics) & Foreign Trade and SAP Global Trade Services (Compliance, Customer, Risk Management.
    SAP SD Covers logistic execution and Foreign Trade, however nowadays SAP trying to split all modules in big a way due to Globalization.  If you look at SAP SD - Foreign Trade that becomes SAP Global Trade Services as separate system.
    The quite secret is domain experience never counts in IT industry but that would be an added advantage for your career as for my experiences in India and outside India.  Also, the companies first question is "Whether you have relevant SAP experience or are you holding any SAP certification" you can experience when you apply for a job.
    Age side, there is no restriction of age to enter into SAP because when I studied in SAP Authorized Training Institute there were two guys whose age was 40 and 41 years and another two guys were 36 years old.  That was a great boost to me when I joined at 29 years to take a certification and I started my SAP career at 29 years only.
    You know one thing, all those guys got a job in only in CMM Level 5 companies in India, you have to believe you and your passion, patience and perseverance end of the day.  Because those Mid 30 years and 40 years old guys were succeeded already then why can't you.
    Our guys already pointed lot of things to you... Take a slow step one by one and try to get into SAP.  Do not urge you and take the step.  Do not leave your current job and take the step.  So, take it very slowly and precisely.
    How will I take step?
    1. Go to SAP Authorized Training and take a certification
    2. Go to SAP Training Training and Certification Shop and Take the training & certification.
    3. Be patient and apply the job and set your target (give 3 to 6 months time) to get into SAP or become SAP Consultant.

    Hi Varma,
    The module which I am talking about is a project management tool which is very much required for managing the projects,it may be a product development project, infrastructure project or any other project..
    Normally this is handled by project management office(PMO) where they plan the project i.e. list all activities that are required to complete a project. It may be land acquiring, material procurement, sub-contracting through orders, billing etc...All these activities are planned in this project management tool (This planning requires enormous amount of field/site knowledge) and these activities are monitored & closed.
    This module covers almost all process and integrates with almost all SAP modules like finance & controlling, materials management, production planning etc.
    If you are interested in planning activities, then you can think of it. Otherwise choose your own interest area.
    Regards,
    Ravi

Pursuing a career in SAP or not depends upon your take on consulting and business knowledge. You may visit the Career Center space in SCN to get some more food for your thoughts and decide.

  • After completed as an MBA HR & System, Which module is the best for freshers ??

    Hi,  I am Samrat Saha. I completed my post graduation as an MBA (HR&System). I did BCA in my graduation and did Higher secondary in commerce. I want to build my career in SAP. But I have some questions::
    1. If i go for SAP then which module is the best for me..??
    2. As a fresher is companies showing any interest to recruit..??
    3. I hard a Course from Victoria University, Melborn, That Is "Master of Business (Enterprise Resource planning System) with SAP".. Is this Master degree worthy to do??
    Message was edited by: Sarah Kellman

    Hello Samrat,
    It is not possible to provide guidance on what career path you should take.  This is a conversation you need to have with a Career Planner or perhaps one of your professors.  You should follow the path you are most interested in, be it a functional role or a technical role.  Ideally you may want to consider getting some work experience in both fields, and then determine which area you wish to pursue.
    You state you have an MBA in HR & System....System what??  System development? Technology?  Programming?  Data Warehousing?  Even HR is a vast area within the SAP world.  We have Payroll, Recruiting, Self Services, Compensation, Time Management, Learning Management Systems, etc.  Most consultants select one or two areas to pursue.  There is no such thing as a single person who knows the complete SAP HR solution...it's just too big!
    I will suggest that you consider taking an SAP HR course so that you can get an idea as to how large the application is.  There are lots of courses available in e-learning.  I would recommend either SAPHRE or HR050E to start.  Once you have completed one of these, you'll be in a better position to decide what you want to do, or at least decide what you don't want to do.
    Good Luck!

  • Which module under SAP is having much requirements in Software industries.?

    Dear Friends,
    I am into Software industry from more then 4 years. And i am good at Software skills like Java/J2ee and also im very good at HR Management where i am handling resources and clients more ever im in even into Business development/ Account Management.
    My profile is a mixture of all the stuff ie technical and non-technical. So i am confused at this stage in thinking like which module is good as per my profile.. And i want to take up course/module which is very HOT in IT market as off now. I mean having more requirements in India/Abroad/UAE as well. ie probability of getting job should be more.
    I am even ok to go for modules like SD,MM, etc which is different from my profile.
    IM TOTALLY CONFUSED AT THIS STAGE. REQUESTING you guys to help me out to choose my module under SAP.
    Regards,
    Ahmed.

    Based on your description, I think BI upgrades might be of interest to you.
    But based on your other "contributions" to SDN, my opinion is that you should perhaps consider a career in the agricultural sector.
    I do both, and it works quite nicely to balance things.

  • Set Up Users in PS 9.1  - Which pages belong to which module

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to set up some users in our PS Financials 9.1 environment but I have a little problem.
    I don't have much PS experience yet and so I don't know which pages belong to which modules so it is difficult to set up permission lists and roles.
    Can anyone tell me where I could find some kind of list of all pages belonging to the different modules?
    Kind Regards,
    Stijn

    Stijn,
    One option is to review the delivered roles and permission lists to see what pages are assigned.
    Another option is to use a PeopleSoft-delivered page under
    PeopleTools->Portal->View Menu Folder Structure
    but it tends to be slow to return results. If you start by using the advanced search where Parent Menu Folder = Root, you will get a list of all of the top-level folders.
    This page uses the PSPRSMDEFN table, and if you have some expertise in using query, SQL, or some reporting tools, you can query it directly. You can run a simple query like
    select * from psprsmdefn where portal_name='EMPLOYEE' and PORTAL_PRODUCT='GL';
    for example, to get all of the portal objects for general ledger. The menu/component name is stored in portal_uri_seg1/protal_uri_seg2.
    HRMS 9.0 delivered a good app engine report, but it wasn't available in FSCM 9.0. I'm hoping Oracle was smart and made it part of PT8.50, but I haven't checked. Unfortunately, I don't recall the name of the report.

  • Training Suggestion: What module of SAP should start with

    I am a senior technical consultant currently working for an IT consulting/service/developer company. I am an M. Sc. in Computer Science and System Engineering with 15+ years of experience.

    Here is a summary of my skill sets:
    - Applications and Test tools development in JAVA and C (mostly Linux based)
    - Interface development for load testing of Web Services using SOAP-UI (Linux based)
    - Performance test development of web based and SAP applications using HP VuGen (Loadrunner)
    - Embedded system development using C, VxWorks
    - Expert in UNIX (Linux), MySQL
    Recent interaction with SAP:
    - Performance test development for an HR and CRM modules (entry through web portal)
    I would prefer to stay within technical arena. Please suggest me which module of the SAP should I start with for a formal training.
    Thanks.

    Hi Ravi:
    Thanks for your advice.
    As you said, "There are already number of consultants in the area of Basis and ABAP". Did you mean, the market is "crowded" ?
    If you really suggest me "BI" is a good choice as a "technical" person, which module of the BI I could start with ?
    Thanks in advance.
