Hi Mrugen, You can find Oracle certification path for SCM on this link, you have to find any Oracle approved institute in your area and get training

I am looking to build my career as a Functional Consultant in Oracle SCM-OM
Hello ,
As in Subject i just briefed about my expectation.I just want to give little more info about my tenure so far.I am a BSc(in Bio science) holder with close to 6 years of Operational experience.I have worked in SAP platform for OM and later i have worked in Software Licensing in Oracle R12.I am a SQL certified from OU. I have read couple of post from OTN and some other sites aswel just to know how could i start learn about Consultant role.I tried to find out if i can get in touch with any person who is a Functional consultant and learn from him/her with real time implementation.I have checked in some of Oracle authorized training centers where the cost is too high but not sure whether learning from there will be useful.Please let me know whether my expectation could be fulfill and suggest me the best way to learn also.
Thanks in advance for your time & reply.
Souvik GhoshThe first query points to many threads where a similar question has been asked. You can change the query search words to get more hits.
If you are looking specifically for OM, it will also help if you network with some non-IT guys to understand how, in general, Order Management is used in various industries. You can talk to Order Entry clerks to understand order taking process (such as customer calls, they create a quote, customer approves, quote is turned into order), you can talk to Warehouse personnel to understand order shipping process (Such as order ship date nears, they run a report to find which orders need to ship in the next x days, they generate pick tickets to get material, they generate packing slips, generate invoices, shipping notices etc.)
Talk to some AR folks to understand credit processes and invoice /collection processes.
These folks don't have to use Oracle. What you are looking for a generic understanding of how the business /processes work.

How to shift from ERP tester to SAP Functional Consultant?
Hi friends,
I'm currently working as a Software tester and have worked with ERP applications(Not SAP) for more that 2.5 years now. I do have a decent domain knowledge of ERP at present.
I want to learn SAP and make a career as a functional consultant.
My question is: If i do a course in one of the functional modules of SAP will i be able to get a job in SAP with my prior experience of ERP?
Thanks and Regards,
ArjunDear Mr.Arjun Nair,
Welcome to the world of SAP. Congrats for choosing sap as your career platform.
I appreciate your interest on SAP ERP.
Based on your interest you can choose any module ( technical / functional ).Each module has its own importance in real time.
If you want learn more about any / preffered module, you can always access help.sap.com which will give you a list of results and among them you can choose whichever link you want to start studying on that subject.
Based on your research choose a right module which suits you better.
It might depends on your Interest also, Like if you are interested more on Programming side then think about Technical module ABAP.
Or if your interest is more on Functional side ( Requires business process knowledge on various / any industries & configuration skills in ERP ).
Based on your experience I believe that the below functional modules will be more suitable for people who has some Business / Domain / experience . Just think & try to follow the SAP Help to take a right decision.
MM – MATERIAL MANAGEMENT ( More about Purchasing related activities / Goods receipts / Inventory Management / vendor management )
SD – SALES & DISTIBUTION ( All sales related activities)
PP – Production Planning
Wish you all the best.

Looking for comparison between MS Visual Source Safe and Oracle SCM
Hi,
I am looking for some comparison between MS Visual Source Safe and Oracle SCM.
What I need is technical feature comparison (not just marketing comparison stating that Oracle SCM is better for everything is stored in the very reliable Oracle database(although this is a good point)).
Any help in this area will be helpfull.
Best regards,
Mihail DaskalovThanks you for your answer,
I like very much Oracle SCM, which I use extensively.
I have very little experience with MS VSS (only on my local machine). I have never tested it in a network environment with multiple developers.
I would like to convince other developers to switch to Oracle SCM, but I need to know what to tell them.
I'm actually both a developer and DBA, and I do like the safety the Oracle Database offers for storing files inside.
I like very much the opportunity to connect with Oracle Repository Navigator from a remote location to my database through Connection Manager and to be able to work with my projects. (There is an issue with this configuration due to the JDBC driver used I'm unable to compare files).
But to convince people I need to know more about the differences between MS VSS and Oracle SCM.
I would appreciate if any of the developers share experience with VSS and SCM.

Report Builder: can i define a function in the rdf file ?
Hi All,
About the report builder, can i define a function in the rdf file ? and then i want invoke it in the report SQL, just like :
function Get_Ap_Prepay_Balance(p_Invoice_Id IN NUMBER, p_End_Date IN DATE) RETURN NUMBER IS
l_Amount number;
begin
RETURN l_Amount;
end;
thanks.You can create functions in reports, but slightly different from doing it in PL/SQL
function Get_Ap_Prepay_Balance return number is
l_Amount number;
begin
assuming that you have invoice_id in your select statement and p_End_Date is a report parameter, you can refer to them in your function as :p_End_Date and :invoice_id
for example select prepay_amount_remaining into l_Amount from ap_invoice_distributions where invoice_id = :invoice_id and accounting_date = :p_End_Date
return(l_Amount);
hope this helps -

Dear All,
I have 4+years of Investment Banking Operations experience worked on Treasurey operations, client services, Legals and Reporting side. Can any one suggest me can i shift my career to Oracle financials - Functional consultant. I do remember when I was working for reporting we used lot of Oracle applications.
Please let me know the stages to learn and should I search for Jr. role or can take up any senior role in Financial company as Oracle consultant.

PremWell for sure the Documentation is really good. In addition to it, I would suggest that you should take up OCP DBA course from OU.That course will help you to get basic( and a little more than that ) knowledge of oracle database and its various parts.That will make up your base from where you can move ahead readind docs, reading astktom.oracle.com.
Wish you the best.

Hi.
I am new to this, but please follow along. I'm looking to build a renderfarm for the following applications:
Final Cut Pro, Motion, Shake, Adobe After Effects, Houdini, Maya, Cinema4D and Compressor.
I would like the system to be cross compatible with Windows and some Linux distros.
Does anyone here have any experience in this field?
Thank you.I suggest you start by reading the list of articles that appear when you press the overview tab at the top of the page.
Instead of spending money on an SSD, use the savings from a conventional 7200 SATA disk to get an Intel i7-9xx instead of AMD. Your PSU is pretty weak with a GTX 470, 850 W seems much better. Increase memory to 12 GB (3 x 4GB) and add a third disk. Use Win7 64 Pro instead of Home.
AMD is too slow for AVCHD because of the lacking SSE4.1+ instructions. Look at the PPBM5 Benchmark to see how AMD's do in comparison to Intel.
Look at some posts here to see what a decent system is. -

Career in SAP MDG for functional consultants.
Can a functional consultant with no ABAP skills learn MDG ? What skills are required to become MDG consultant ?
Hi Kanishk,
Yes functional consultant can take SAP MDG and work on that. It is just configuring and mapping master data according to different SAP and Non-SAP systems master data. The market is very slow in MDG because big companies only want to implement for master data harmonization due to heterogeneous environment. If you do a job search, companies posted only less jobs. Think before you take the decision but if you stand for 5 years down the line this MDG will have a big market in the world. So you need a patience if you are taking this module.

Sql for sap functional consultant
Hi sap consultants,
I have a query related to sql for functional consultant.
My question is what is the use of sql for functional consultant and what is the future prospect
after learning it, means will it help in career growth in sap and also to build my candidature strong.
Please suggest me regarding this.will highly appreciate your replies.
Thanks in advance.Prafulla,
Have a look at some of the blogs collected under SAP Career Blog Links. Your best route to becoming an SAP Functional specialist is to work your way into the support group of the company in which you already work. Experience is more important than the certificate. Get your experience supporting SAP as an SAP CRM specialist first, THEN get your certificate.
If you try to do the reverse, you're signing up for a lot of heartache (see blogs in the previous link page). Whatever you do... do NOT quit your job to sign up for training/certification on the hopes that you'll find a job easily after you are certified. End user experience is better than nothing, but does not necessarily "count" as experience when you're trying to get a job for the first time as a functional specialist.
Only AFTER you've been a specialist for a while does the end user experience add clout to your credentials as you can say " I've experienced the FULL spectrum of SAP" while folks who never had the end user experience seem somewhat lacking by comparison.
So *eventually*, end user experience + specialist experience + certification = more than the sum of the parts.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,

Career as SAP analyst/consultant
Hi,
I am exploring the option to build my carrier in SAP analyst/consultant field.
I have more than 5 years of experience of sales and business management in automotive industry. At the same time I have worked on or used SAP as a business user for these 5 years.
I am quiet conversant with the business process, material movement, orders/approval flows etc.
I have the desire and will but I am looking for some answers to convenience myself that it will be a good decision to move in this direction financially and in terms of career growth also. It would be a big help if you could answer the questions below, before I make my final decision. I would request you SAP Gurus to please guide me.
Some of the agencies (AtoS and some others) I have got in touch with to discuss this certification have suggested doing SAP SD or MM certification, keeping my experience in view. If I do it what is your guess how soon I could find a job with this certification.
What kind of salary will I be able to attract if I do get a job. Currently I am getting good salary by auto industry standards (around $15K). As per the information I have got the starting salaries in these roles are some times less than half of what I am getting now.
Finally how fast is the growth in this industry? Let us say I do the certification spend some $500 and join a company with salary less than half of my current. After doing this, as per your experience how soon will I be able to reach or exceed the salary I would have been getting otherwise (assume I perform fairly well in my SAP role ;-).
So finally should I go ahead with the certification?
Rather than an instinctive one, I want to make a well thought over, planned and fairly well estimated decision. I am looking forward to your valuable answers.
ThanksI am trying to reply all the bullets in your post one by one.
Some of the agencies (AtoS and some others) I have got in touch with to discuss this certification have suggested doing SAP SD or MM certification, keeping my experience in view. If I do it what is your guess how soon I could find a job with this certification.
for training and certification you can go to any SAP authorized institute , you can find many depends upon which country you are presently staying.
What kind of salary will I be able to attract if I do get a job. Currently I am getting good salary by auto industry standards (around $15K). As per the information I have got the starting salaries in these roles are some times less than half of what I am getting now.
if you are already at $15K (1,50,000 US Dollar if i correctly understand) then you are earning much higer then a SAP consultant having a decade experience in SAP. Better look for management job. If salary is the criteria.
Finally how fast is the growth in this industry? Let us say I do the certification spend some $500 and join a company with salary less than half of my current. After doing this, as per your experience how soon will I be able to reach or exceed the salary I would have been getting otherwise (assume I perform fairly well in my SAP role ;-).
refer the above one
So finally should I go ahead with the certification?
Certification is optional , if you just have user level experience you may not be knowing all what comes within an module, i still recommend training as it give you all back ground about SAP and you can understand most of the master data piece to create a right foundation for a module.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks

Rajesh.Hi Rajesh,
as you have 14 yrs. of experience and assuming that (as per as your points you have stated), i think it will be some handy if i say to change towards sap modules, because the reality of sap world is if you don't have real time exposure in implemntation and working experience then you will be considered only as a fresher, are you ready for that......i don't think so.............
Because in previous 14 yrs. you have touched a landmark in the job profile and in terms of salary , i don't think anyone will consider your this 14 yrs. experience in sap domain (if it is, its your fortune).
But there are some modules like Supply Chanin Management, Warehouse Management etc in which you can switch.......Afterall you have more practical industry exposure, so i think you are able to justify yourself better than me.What i have suggested is only my experience with sap world. So i am sorry if anything wrong from my side.
Maybe you are looking for
