Question from functional consultant

Hi
I was working on a report under report writer transaction code GR32. I was suppose to make a small change but actually I made lot of changes to fix one issue or other.Now the report is not usable.Is it possible for a basis guys to restore the original report (under GR32) and discard all my changes in last 3 days.
Thanks in advance
Satya

Hi Satya,
Try to find out..
1. Is this report 's old version is avilable in Quality or Production server?
2. Is this report saved to a request originally ?
3. Can you find out the TP no?
The final way to recover is restore your 3 day's old backup to a test server and recover the report.
All the best,
Hari.

Hi,
I can tell you about my experience in different process.
I usually have a first interview with the recruiter/agency this first interview is quite general, he usually review your CV, job history,... the recruiter ask you about your interest or motivation for that process, if you are willing to travel, reallocate, etc.. your salary expectations and your knowledge in the different modules. This is the easier interview and if everything is ok, the recruiter will tell you for next steps, probably about the project, the employer, etc...
In the second interview normally is with the consultancy company, with the manager and an experience consultant that usually asks about technical questions, they ask for example, how to setup a dual accounting process with SLA in GL, which reports you would use to reconcille AP/AR and GL, how many segments do you need to setup in GL for a specific business situation, how to load assest in FA, which are de accounting steps from buy goods until you account the AP invoices,...
In some cases you have also a final interview with customer just to get the final approval, but the really important one is the second interview.
Good Luck ;-)

Sap mm functional consultant to technofunctional consultant.

Hi! Am sriharsh. Am working as a SAP MM CONSULTANT from past 2 years & want to switch on from functional to technofunctional side. So kindly guide me how i can make my acreer as a technofunctional consultant ?
What are the requirement/knowledge i should gain to become technofunctional consultant?

Of course there are other technical modules in SAP. But the question is how will you utilize your abilities of being a techno-functional consultant?
You need to ask yourself, how and where an MM consultant can help an organization in a technical area, say, BASIS? Do you really think that an organization would let an MM person handle tasks like moving transport requests? Wouldn't that give you the power to move your own TRs bypassing the existing compliances?
And say you choose Security, you could assign yourself any role in any system - again breaking all norms and compliances.
Say you choose BW, even there your knowledge in MM is in no special way "tapped" to make the BW system better. This task will be better handled by a dedicated BW consultant. The same goes for BO/HANA/Portal developer or any other technical modules with the possible exception of ABAP.
Although there are different opinions about pros and cons of being a technofunctional consultant (meaning Functional Modules in combination with ABAP), I lean towards the group that feel technical and functional modules are best kept separated.

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 Ghosh

The 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.

chan

Chan,
Below are some of main responsibilities of FC-
A functional consultant evaluates the demands in talking with the customer's representatives, transforms the essence into an abstract and algorithmic business model. Hence, he identifies the use cases and transforms them into logical and technical views.
Then the main task starts: customizing the respective business area and making sure the system reacts in the manner according to the constraints of the requested use case.
The consultant documents the settings and prepares proper guidelines that allow other consultants to do further changes or repairs with due efforts.
The consultant takes care that proper training is given to the users and that the system is usable, performing appropriately and the business flow is complete and correct.
During go live he assists the technical staff by testing the behaviour of the system.
After go live he guarantees that the procedures remain usable and consistent in real live situation and proposes enhancements.
The main duty of a consultant is to transfer external know-how to the client. It is not manpower that counts but intelligence, understanding of processes, a feeling for defects and general a common sense.

Role & responsibilities for SD functional consultant

Hi
friends,
iam sravan,
applying 2+yrs of exp as a sd functional consultant.
i want to put 10 months of exp for impementation and rest of the
yrs putting as a support. is it ok, otherwise plez suggest me.
can u tell me the role and responsibilities for implemetation
and support, bcoz iam putting two projects so i have to put
role & responsibilities both are should be different.
plez send me as soon as possible...................

Hi Sravan,
Types of Consultants:
The most common question being asked in interviews is ' What are your roles and responsibilities?'.
Before answering the above question, let me explain the difference between Functional consultant and
Technical consultant.
Roles and responsibilities differ from functional consultant to Technical consultant.
Functional Consultant:
Functional consultants are responsible for designing the SAP implementation solution based on the
requirements of your company.
Functional consultants are business process experts.
Functional consultants normally use their process knowledge to calculate the impact of the SAP
implementation on the company's processes.
Functional consultants are thus concerned with SAP functions and processes that will generate the data
and output for business.
Functional consultants interact with end users of the company to gather requirements and based on the
requirements they customize the SAP implementation.
Technical Consultant:
Technical consultants are experts in information technology.
Technical consultants normally assist in configuration of the SAP R3 installation. In many SAP
implementations, technical consultants help in designing interfaces and customizations in R3. Finally, the
SAP R3 technical consultants would be responsible for migration of data from the legacy system to the new
SAP ERP implementation.
Here i will discuss major roles and responsibilities of a technical consultant:
1) Designing technical specification by looking at the functinal specification you have recieved.
Usually senior developers having 3 years or more than 3 years of experience involves in preparing technical
specifications.
2) Developing objects using ABAP workbench tools. That may be a report program or an on-line program or a
custom table.
Remember the development work starts after the technical specification is approved by your team leader.
3) Preparing the Unit test case document.
In unit test case document, we document the results and test cases performed on the developed object.
4) Peer Review
if you are a senior developer you can perform peer review. I.e review the code written by your peers.
5) Working on Problem Tickets
If you are working in a support project, you should solve the tickets assigned to you. Tickets are nothing but
the problems occured in production environment.
The above mentioned are the major roles and responsibilities for a technical consultant

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,
Arjun

Dear 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.
