Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
Wishing you a very Happy New Year 2007
Considering your experience, it is better to get into SAP as the market is growing a lot...eventhough you have functional experience, in order to materialize with Functional Consulting, you will have to undergo classes...SAP themselves conduct classes using various business partners and you can join them to understand the configuration bit...For pursuing your goal, first step would be to join a class on understanding the indepth knowledge on SAP...Since the market requires lot of consultant, but still the requirement is majorly for expereinced consultants and for achieving that you will have to work hard to gain that experience in SAP...At the time of doing the course please ensure that you keep continuing with your existing job.
Hope this meets your requirement.
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

SAP ABAP Techno Functional Consultant

Hi all,
What kind of profile is this? I'm talking about 'SAP ABAP Techno Functional Consultant'. I'm thinking in a multimodule consultant with strong ABAP skills. Am I right?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Eduardo

Thanks
Its clear that there are consultants with a shameful behavior, overselling themselves. But, in the other side that Jeyakanthan
tell us (an ABAPer with strong functional skills). If you are a functional with 10/15 years of experience, with 2 or more modules and you have ABAP skills (not all, of course, you develop your own enhancements/BADI/BTE, your ALV lists, perhaps you have problems with smartforms -ie: you are slow in the development of forms-, a little bit of ABAP OO, you are able to do traces and check bottlenecks...) ¿How do you sell yourself? ¿How do you improve your possibilities in the market?

Techno-Functional Consultants

hi,
What is the job profile of Techno-Functional Consultants.

Hi Samy,
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". Usually people work on a specific Application area in BW like say FI, MM, PP , etc called 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.
People working across application areas called technical. They are the ones who do all the development like creating BW objects and activating them.

please guide me, what r the topics of ABAP I'd learn and from where I should start. which can be helpful to me to get it done.

Thanks
Sarat

Yes, you can become a techno functional consultant.
You can start by learning Debugging. That is a very important tool. And being a functional consultant it will be a boon for you. And I think this is the only thing you need to learn as far as ABAP is concerned.
Try to get familiar with ABAP transactions like SE38, SE80, SE11, SE14, SM30 etc.. etc....
Gradually you will learn to use them.

Role of Time Mgmt functional consultant during SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6

Hi,
Could anyone explain the role of a time management functional consultant during SAP upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC6.0. Please provide me if you got any documentation.
Thanks,
Sunny

"After you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the functionality of your application without performing a further
upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology u2013 the SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP. The enhancement
packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP." - that is the real benefit of ECC 6.0
There aren't any major changes to PTM functionalities from 4.7 to 6.0. I hope your system is already using IT 2006 instead of IT 0005. Under functional role, you are required to configure/test any functional upgrade and manage data.

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.
<b>Functional Consultant:</b>
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.
<b>Technical Consultant:</b>
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

What is the role of a HR functional consultant in the ESS/MSS configuration

Hi Guys,
If someone can suggest me what is the role of a HR functional person in the ESS/MSS or EP configuration and what needs to be done to achieve that..
Thanks,
~RJ

I think, HR Functional consultant role should mandatory for ESS/MSS. ESS/MSS are user interface technologies but behind the scene. It is all about HR FC. In order to learn ESS/MSS you should start base NetWeaver Architecture & Iviews concept.
You will find it more easy since you knw back-end.
Thanks,

As a functional consultant, what are the checks need to be performed?
Got OSS note's side effect report from SAP which consists of apprx 60 notes that need to be applied post SP15 upgradation.
Could any one share their experience how to assess these OSS notes & their side effects. It would be beneficial if you can share any sample template showing the assessment work done & its validation by Business.
What are the effects on existing business process (new functionalites and enhancements).
And do we need to involve the end user/ Business for performing the integration testing & Quality testing.
Thanks a lot.

Difference in roles of functional consultant & Business Analyst

Hi All
What are the differences in the roles of business analysts & functional consultants in SAP? At which levels of organization hierarchy they fall?
Regards
Abhijeet

Hello Abhijeet,
To add on the comments Marilyn already posted, my experience at customer projects is that SAP Functional Consultants are more focussed on one subject matter/business domain like HR, CRM, Finance, SCM, SRM, etc. which are related to the functional modules SAP delivers. The business side of IT products as you can say. Good functional consultants know the details of that specific subject matter and are able to translate these to functional requirements for the implementation of the SAP module.
A Business Analist is a more generic role. Mostly found in the CIO office or at the Information Management part of a business division/unit. He/she translates more high-level business goals into concrete improvement programs and designs.
To make a very bold distinction: Business Analists more like are employees of the company trying to improve its business, where SAP Functional Consultants are hired from consulting firms to do their specific trick. Off course this not always is true, because roles are defined differently from company to company as Marilyn already stated.
I welcome anyone who likes to add comments on this view.
Regards, Edo

Role for Functional Consultant in upgradation

Hi
I want to know, what will be the role of SAP CRM Functional consultant in up gradation of CRM 4.0/5.0 to 6.0/7.0?
I want detailed answers for this one and also if possible than also give some document or provide link for Up gradation document
I am eagerly waiting for reply. .
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
First and foremost, take all screenshot of processes in the old version. (Functional)
Well to start with, the main backbone of the upgrade project are the Basis Team, so you will be needing a strong Basis Resource.
Once you define the system, a technical testing is done by them and given the system to Functional Consultant.
Compare the old screenshot with new version screenshot and ensure whether the data is correctly available, this can be random, just the basic and important processes to cover. (Functional)
Meanwhile, the functional consultant is required to develop the test scripts, which will include all the business scenarios which are been used in the old version.
For eg: Test Scripts on Sales process -->from creating the Prospects to Lead then Oppurtunity Document and then closing the case by creation of Sales Orde Management in ECC.
After testing, it is important in any project to get the sign off from the business team, these are called unit testsing & integration testing sign-off process.
So based on your modules interfaced with CRM system, you will require one consultant from each module, for instance, SD Consultant for SD Module.
One more resource will be needed for Web UI Components to test the BSP pages and all, for this a CRM Technical Consultant is needed to be on a safer side, or even a functional consultant can test depending on his/her expertise on Web UI functionality.
Hope this helps,

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.
