MBA for SAP BI consultant
Am a senior BI consultant , Working in BI ,past 9 years in deferent sectors( Public, private, Chemical, Banking industries), Am thinking of doing MBA for carrier progression.
Can some one suggest me is it good idea?
If yes, Please suggest me good course like MBA finance, MBA marketing .etc
Regards
Babu
May be another certificate will be added, otherwise, there will not be much value added.
I really wonder whether MBA would really give an advantage in your current job.
If you want to go into management side, then try with PMP or Prince2 Certifications.
They are more relevant for project environment.

Career for SAP Basis consultant
Dear Friends,
I am into SAP Basis, most of the jobs have been outsourced in UK as such there are hardly any jobs in sap basis . Please can u kindly suggest me what is the next best option for SAP Basis for more career opportunities. Please kindly suggest me, I don't have job for last 10 months.
Thanks.
aaryaI 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

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,

HANA for SAP Functional Consultants
Hi
I have rich experience of 9+ yrs in SAP MM/WM/SD/SRM (certified in these modules) (and over all 16+ yrs) all through implementations and rollouts.
Now I am feeling stagnated in my career; wanted to make it more techno-functional; SAP HANA is a buzz word.
Wanted to move into it after doing certification; but have the following queries:
Will it be a right decision to move into it without any prior BI/BW experience.
Will I get an entry into new projects of SAP HANA.
Does BI/BW experience preferred over other SAP module/functional experience; in which case it will be a difficult enviro to compete.
I have explored job portals and every one wants prior BI/ABAP/Tech experience.
I am worried will I be loosing by entering into HANA or shall I go further in my logistics area only for explorations.
The market I am working in is US and Australia.
Please suggest;
Thank you.
KimHi Kimi,
HANA is related to database, there are basically two types of mode in HANA, one is called HANA developer who developes model and another is HANA technical who configure, install and monitor all these stuffs. When it comes to learn HANA without having prior knowledge of BW/BI , yes this will gives you an advantage if you have prior knowledge of BW/BI , but its not mandatory for you because you have so rich experience in another modules, so i will suggest you to please see these threads which might help you at some extent.
What is SAP HANA? | SAP HANA
BW/BI on SAP HANA in AWS for personal learning

Experience Required for SAP SD Job in USA from India!!
Hi All,
I have started my SAP career in SAP SD as a trainee. I had always planned to go to USA. But for that u need a job offer in company in USA.
I need to plan everything way before the time comes for me to search a job in USA.
Details about myself first:
Live in India.
Fresh Passport- Never been to any other country... Dont pity me!!!
BBA 2011
MBA 2013
One year of ERP experience as an end user of MS Navision (SD module)
SAP SD...1 month.. most prob I would be working for Automotive industry.
Money and location do not matter while looking for a job in USA
Type of SAP company in USA does not matter.
Will get certified by May 2015.
Now I have the following questions:
How much experience do we need to be good enough to secure a job?
What kind of experience?
Any special skill that could give me an edge?
Is there a enough demand for SAP SD consultants there that they may be willing to sponsor foreign professionals?
Really appreciate your help here. Thanks a ton in advance!!!Hello Ravi sir,
I really admire you and your opinions. They are the foundation of what I am today, (Not kidding, I read so much that you have taught us)
With all due respect, I would like to put forth my opinion on what is being perceived about me or for that matter, anyone desiring a similar goal.
Working in USA is not the Pinnacle of life. Neither are the superbikes and Money. The term what I should have used is Financial Freedom. I have my personal likes and dis likes towards certain 'Material stuff' but that as well in not the pinnacle of life. It is a part of life. As a matter of fact, you cannot put one thing as a pinnacle of life. We should have a balance of all; work, family, friends , personal hobbies and personal development.
If I have to have to work, I would love to be paid my worth, which is not happening in India, due to stiff competition. Earn good enough to pursue my hobbies of riding on a superbike is a way of living which I would like to pursue. This is not a suggestion I am giving to those who are reading.
This being said, it shows that I do not care about SAP as a career, instead I am using it as a tool. So let me clear this out. I had other tempting options as well, which could have led me to a better financial freedom in or out of the country. I had an option to be as a Navision consultant way before I could have gotten a job in SAP. Realizing the fact that I have to work for 8 hours a day for the rest of my life, I would choose to do something that I like. I do like SAP. It's challenging but I like it. I would not strive any career if I don't like it.
And I believe you are living in UK?
I would, with all due respect, ask you to come to India and
1. Work passionately.
2. Learn on a daily basis
3. Try to learn niche skills in your area
4. Help others and try to mentor the juniors
5. Next five years learning is the only way you live
My intentions are not to doubt about your objectives of living there. I really respect the decision you took. I'm sure you would have your reasons which are very specific to your needs.
Simply put:
This goal is pushing me to work harder, staying focused, and achieving new things. If I get this, I will look for a new goal, and push myself even further. This might not make sense to everyone, but honestly I am doing what I believe would make my life better.
I put this question up, just to understand the job market out there and how can I make what I like a reality. I'm sorry if this question sent a different signal out there all together.
Ravi sir, I respect u a lot and will follow your advice. I will work hard for sure.
Thanks for your attention on this thread.
I hope it, any of my opinion did not offend you. If so, I would really like to apologies.
I would really like to know your opinion on my thoughts and guide me, after knowing that I don't keep it as an ultimate goal, as to what would best be of value to my intent to go out.
I would also like to share this beautiful post How to be successful in life ? which talks about what is success in life, and not only SAP. He just might have presented my opinion in a better manner.
PS- I do workouts every morning just so that I stay fit. I really am serious about my fitness, but it doesn't make fitness the pinnacle of life. -

Moderator message: thread moved, please post in the correct forum from now on.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jul 13, 2010 2:33 PMShipment costing following requirement must be met
1. you must mark shipment as relevant for shipment costing
2. the shipment must have the required total status as set in the definition of the shipment cost type
3. the shipment must have a transportation status of at least planned
4. shipment must have a service agent
5. customising for the shipment cost pricing must be set
spro-- logistics execution-- transportation- shipment costs-pricing- ( this setting)
6. finally condition records must eb maintained
CALCULATION OF SHIPMENT COSTS
1. By using the transportation planning point, service agent shipment cost item category and shipping type the system determines a pricing procedure for shipmetn cost item
2. the system determines shipment costing calculation basis for the individual condition types in the pricing procedure ( eg costing carried out per container and stuff)
3. then normal condition record is searched in pricing proc .
Hope this gives clarity to your question

SAP Functional consultant roles with S/4 HANA
Hi
in the current scenario there is huge role for SAP functional consultants, along with ABAPers and BASIC guys, in implementations,
with SAP S/4 HANA (both on premise and cloud) would there be similar roles available ?
we can see there is some talk about ABAP in HANA on premise, but could not find much information about the SAP Functional consultants roles in SAP S4 HANA (both on-premise and cloud)
what do you guys thing, would there still be a IMG in S4 HANA and there will be great needed for SAP functional consultants in new SAP Implements with S4HANAthanks Richard,
for taking time to clear some doubts, it will help alot,
so its the customer who will drive this....
if every customer moves to cloud (both HEC or public cloud) - SAP Functional consultants will be obsolete by 2025
even if there are some onPrem, due to pre-packaged S/4, there will be very less work
so the 40K odd SAP Functional consultants careers would be ended by 2025 -
Financial experience for SAP FICO module
is experience in core finance required for SAP FICO module or experience in financial domain good enough ?
All that you require for SAP FI is the ability to understand the business process in FI terms and implement the same in SAP.
Good domain knowledge is a must for SAP FI consultant - either it be in the form of education or thru' experience.
If you can understand the requirements in FI terminology, you can easily start your career in SAP FI and can value add your knowledge thru' experience.
All the best!

Oppurtunity for SAP PS Certified Consultant (Fresher)
Hi
A mere Certification does not helps in giving entry into SAP Implementation . Every where the companys ask only experience .
without giving oppurtunity to a fresher dont know how the supply of experienced persons is meet ? . The organizations has to understand this .
And another point to discuss the company is ready to hire a fresher computer science or a Electronics and communication graduate and train him in SAP modules and use him in Implementation project . But a certified consultant is not considered for the same.
If this is the case then SAP has to restrict giving certification to anybody ? and Impose some restrictions for certification.Hi John,
You should have tried for ABAP, as there are requirements for fresher in ABAP.
In functional side it is difficult to get into the Business if you are a fresher, as there is a general believe that freshers don't understand business well so cannot be taken in as a Functional consultant..
How did you opted for SAP PS? Are you an MBA grad or Engg??
Good Luck with your job hunt..

What are the Essentials for a Sap Security Consultant.
Hi Gurus,
I have completed a Implementation in which I alone handled the entire Security . It is a defense client .
Now I am technically expert at security. But I have no functional knowledge.
Implementing Security in SAP one needs to have knowledge of funtional process as well. The course that are purely technical stuff and I have good idea of techincal stuff.
The Question is what is a Sap Security Consultant expected to know . And how to go about acquiring that knowledge?Hi Hussain,
There is a little bit of release-dependent-everything in this thread: Authorization for VAP2 in conflict with VD02 for F_KNA1_GRP
Try solve it and you will understand that you need the requirements (without that you are anyway doomed) and the knowledge and the appropriate access to create / test it.
BAPI's are remote enabled stable interfaces to SAP standard functionality. They are the best examples of combining functional, technical and standard skills in a sustainable way without creating a mess (a mess, way beyond the bounds of your concerns...).
If you learn to use the available tools and information sources, then you dont need to stress about the essentials, even if your customer makes a design error before or after your advice.
Cheers,
Julius
