Roles & Responsibilities for Junior & Senior consultants(Technical)

Hi Guru's,
what are the Roles & Responsibilities for Junior & Senior consultants(Technical).
what is the Role in your project?
How to answer for this question.
what is the size of cubes in your project?
Thanks,
Madhu.

Hi ,
In general Functional means, derive the funtional specification from the business requirement document. This job normally is done either by the business analyst or system analyst who has a very good knowledge of the business. In some large organizations there will be a business analyst as well as system analyst.
In any business requirement or need for new reports or queries originates with the business user. This requirement will be recorded after discussion by the business analyst. A system analyst analyses these requirements and generates functional specification document. In the case of BW it could be also called logical design in DATA MODELING.
After review this logical desing will be translated to physical design . This process defines all the required dimensions, key figures, master data, etc.
Once this process is approved and signed off by the requester(users), then conversion of this into practically usable tasks using the SAP BW software. This is called Technical. The whole process of creating an InfoProvider, InfoObjects, InforSources, Source system, etc falls under the Technical domain.
you work on a specific Application area in BW like say FI, MM, PP , etc. you are a BW functional. BW functional would not do any development but they are rather in charge of overseeing whether the specific application functionality is implemented or not. They rather look for the functionality and not for the underlying code.
Functional skills..Knowledge of taking user requirements,and designing the functional and technical specs according to the requirements,determine what customizations are required in the system.Such a person needs strong 'functional background' of the source system and the functional areas involved..example SD,Finance,MM,Utilities,Inventory Mgmt etc.
Sort of skills required by person at design and blueprint phase.
But if you are working across application areas then you are BW technical. They are the ones who do all the development like creating BW objects and activating them.
developing BW objects according to the design specs(FS and TS),data modeling skills,ABAP coding skills for routines and exits.Sort of skills required by person working in development phase of work.
Generally Technical people are expected to have some basic functional knowledge. But if they really have very good functional knowledge in 1 area then they are generally called "Techno-functional".
An SAP BW functional consultant is responsible for the following:
Key responsibilities include:
Maintain project plans
Manage all project activities, many of which are executed by resources not directly managed by the
project leader (central BW development team, source system developer, business key users)
Liase with key users to agree reporting requirements, report designs
Translate requirements into design specifications(report specs, data mapping / translation, functional specs)
Write and execute test plans and scripts
Coordinate and manage business / user testing Deliver training to key users
Coordinate and manage product ionization and rollout activities
Track CIP (continuous improvement) requests, work with users to prioritize, plan and manage CIP
An SAP BW technical consultant is responsible for:
-SAP BW extraction using standard data extractor and available development tools for SAP and non-SAP data sources. -SAP ABAP programming with BW
-Data modeling, star schema, master data, ODS and cube design in BW
-Data loading process and procedures (performance tuning)
-Query and report development using Bex Analyzer and Query Designer
-Web report development using Web Application Designer
Hope this helps,

Hi there,
The easiest way to get all of the t-codes, is for a customising project to be created in the IMG with all of the relevant IMG activities assigned to it. (Your FI CO consultant can assist here.)
Once that has been done, you can go and create a role in PFCG. Select the menu tab, then select Utilities - Customizing Auth. and it will then ask you to select a customising project.
Once you've done that, all IMG activities and transactions for that customising project will automatically be entered into the menu.
You then need to go and maintain and generate the authorisations.
That's my suggestion.
Hope you can use it.

Lucille

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

Can a FICO consultant setup PCM?

Dear all PCM experts,
I am a new FICO consultant and our PM from a BW team seeking for a FICO consultant to help out in his PCM project.
I have never heard of PCM.
And I found that setting up PCM is not same as setting up FICO (SPRO) although some CO concepts might be needed. (correct me if I am wrong)
My questions:
1. How significant is the role of FICO consultant in setting up PCM? What should he knows or do in the project? Or is it just perform data mapping and producing Functional Specs for reports? (sorry i do not have much info on the role yet because the PM himself is not familiar with PCM)
2. What is the prospect of PCM skills for a FICO consultant?
Thank you.
Best Rgds,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
As per my idea, installation of PCM can be done by Basis consultants. Function people should perform the profitability and cost estimations by using the pre defined tasks in PCM.

Amar.

Role of a CRM Technical consultant in SAP C4C and CRM on HANA

Hi,
What would be the role of a CRM Technical consultant in the following.
SAP C4C
SAP S4/HANA
SAP CRM on HANA
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Sunil,
I have got privileged of working on some C4C assignments & as far as my vision goes. A CRM Technical consultant is an integral part of any C4C/implementation or AMS environment.
C4C has a real time integration/initial migration and a day to day basis data flow possible from Backend SAP CRM system. At Backend CRM, XIF adapter is tapped extensively to leverage these functionalities & as a CRM consultant it is not tough to adapt to the Cloud environment of C4C as well but Yes the UI technology has changed as well the view layouts.
Thanks,
Ravi

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.
