SAP ABAP or SAP Functional???

Hi all,
Im in SAP technical consultant since 16 months but i have observed that functional consultants have better prospects in career growth, im interested to switch to functional. Is this a right decision to switch to functional?
If yes, which module should i be traind in and any registered institute in bangalore providing the same.
And is it that only MBA candidates can go into functional?
And what will be my job profile after 2 yrs?? will it be SAP technical or SAP functional or SAP technofunctional and for which profile shuld i apply for?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Both technical and functional has better career prospects. It depends on each person to which career path
he likes to take. If you are good at technical you should continue in the same. It is always better to be in
your strong area instead of moving to another area thinking of career prospects.
And to move to become a functional consultant you should have domain experience. It is not like
learning the technical things. You have to gain that through experience. With such a small experience of
16 months, i would say you continue for some more time there and learn the functional side of the
module that you are currently working on. If you move to the functionla side in same module, you
will be more comfortable. But if you are moving to a totally different module, domain experience
matters and the career prospects for you will be less with no domain experience.
And there is nothing like an MBA can only do functional. It is the domain experience matters, not really the degree.
And the profile after 2 years, you should decide which path to take. With the current profile , you will be a technical
consultant.

Leon

SAP-ABAP or SAP-BI/BW

Hello All...
need your help.
I am currently working on SAS technology as a SAS Developer. I want to learn SAP. But have confusion between SAP-ABAP and SAP-BI/BW.
Which one will be good for me? SAS gives me basic BI background so thought of BI/BW.
& Will I get job after the course completion. I am having 2.5 years experience on SAS.
Please help..
Thanks...:)

Hi,
Module selection is totally depend on your interest.
ABAP - is purely technical and coding work. if you have strong skill on coding then you can choose ABAP module.
BW - its data warehouse. its techno-functional. You don't need any special skills to learn BW. its easy to understand the BW concepts.As per business needs we need to design data flow by using BW architecture(extended start concept).After design of data flows we need to load the data from different sources and do the reporting by using Bex tools(Bex designer/analyzer).
BW have 3 major areas.,
1. Modeling/Designing.
2. ETL - Extraction,transferring and loading
3. Reporting - Bex tools.
Thanks

What is best for my career: Sap ABAP or Sap BI

Hi Experts,
I am Rajesh, done my bachelor degree in Information Technology,
having 4 years of Exp as a Mainframes Programmer in a Banking Software company.
my job containts
30 % understanding the product
40 % Analysis
30 % Programming
my career Goal is to get SAP job in Abroad(US/UK/AUS) for that i am planning like below:
First i want to gain some minimum(8-10 Months) Exp in India by
Choosing one Best(or)Hot Cake Module in SAP, which matches any one of 3 points
1)Currently that module should have more demand less supply.
2)Should have good Future
3)it should not be much vast Because need to expertise Early
I already Trained and good in SAP-Core ABAP,
but just Core ABAP is not enough to get expertise in ABAP, because i need to add it with
OOPS, Webdynpro, Workflow ETC.
even i Trained in all the above, it is difficult to be Expert in 1 YR.
and Hard to get job in US/UK/AUS.
So i am planning to go with SAP-BI for below Reasons
1) SAP BI is not that much Vast compare to ABAP for becoming an Expert on it
2) for Skill Set ABAP+BI, can have good openings
3) SAP-BI is a techno functional Job, where ABAP is not a final Destination.
4) in Future, BI will help to get into HANA.
I request you to guide me, whether my decision towards my Goal is correct or not,
if not, please give valuable Suggestions to reach my destination.
Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
as per as your selection of module, its a good mix, but i have a few words that i wants to share with you. Being a developer in sap abap i have come across some points where many indivisuals get strucked by asking what is next.
Started with sap abap you will have many options to go ahead, as you have seen that the combination of BI along with ABAP has an added advantages, and yes later on you can move towards HANA, one of the major sap module in which the database of sap persist in furure.
As far as i concern, if you wants to be in technical stream of sap you will have UI5, Webdynpro, Workflow, BW/ BI, HANA etc, so you may go ahead with these options, but as you have told that you wants to get hands on these things in one year, i think you have to devote in abap as much as possible
what you will require to know the syntax and semantics used in SAP, along with all the stuffs associated with it, once you will get familiar with it, you can play as you wants.
But one thing more is that its not mandatory to have sap abap knowledge to learn other technologies, you can learn without abap, but if yiu have hands on in abap somehow it will boost your future in related technilogies.
So, finally your decision is on right track, what you will need is to get it as your passion.

SAP Netweaver XI VS SAP ABAP VS SAP BW

Hi Guys,
I'm an SAP BASIS administrator. But I am thinking of a career change in my company and if I will be given a chance, I am choosing between the three below.
SAP Netweaver XI
SAP BW
SAP ABAP
I am confuse on which of these three is the best one.
I like BW because many says that this is very in demand.
I like ABAP because I love programming. But I am afraid that this will not be in demand in the future because of the (Netweaver - is it true?)
Lastly, knowing that Netweaver is new in SAP, I am thinking that this will be popular and in demand now and in the future.
Could you guys share your thoughts about this? Which one is the best to choose from the three.
Thank you in advance.
Erwin

Hi,
In my view as you are already experienced in BASIS you shall go with it and cover the all stacks of NetWeaver and be the NetWeaver BASIS consultant. Here you can have exposure of all the stacks XI/EP/MDM etc and as a BASIS person you will have more opportunity as well if you are able to handle it.

Which module SAP ABAP or SAP PS

Hi
I am Varun Maheshwari. I have done B.E in electrical and Electronics. I had experience of 1.8Yr in Project management as Project assistant in Centre for Wind Energy Technology(on Contract basis). My role was Planning of the project, Site selection- Pan India, Resource & inventory planning for installation purpose, Budgeting the project, Collection of the data and analysis, Report generation as per the analysis to the management and third party. I am willing to pursue career in SAP domain but i am really confuse between SAP domain (SAP PS or SAP ABAP) which will be good if you consider growth & opportunities.
Please guide me considering Market Scenario, Future Growth & Recruitment Opportunities?
I will be highly thankful to you !!
Regards
Varun Maheshwari

Hi Varun,
Since you already have almost 2 years of experience in project management, it is better to capitalize on this experience by choosing a career relevant to your experience. This experience counts when you go forward in the same area (Project management).
In SAP, for project management there are three tools serving different business processes.
1) SAP PS (Project Systems)
2) SAP PPM (Portfolio & Project Management)
3) SAP CPM (Commercial Project Management)
In general it is better to start with SAP PS and then later on with SAP PPM which has very good integration with PS.
Coming to your query on future growth/recruitment opportunities.. There are lot of job opportunities for SAP PS in the market.. Any project in any company in this world requires a tool to monitor & review the project progress. Considering this organisation may use either SAP PS / PPM / Microsoft project / Primavera. But definitely organisations using SAP uses SAP PS for project management. So in short, there is no shortage of demand for SAP PS.
Considering your experience, I have given my opinion and it finally depends on you to choose a career in which you have passion.

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.

Doubt with Implicit Enhacement in SAP ABAP

Dear.
I have the following doubt with the Implicit Enhacement in SAP ABAP created by me in several applications standard-
If I Create an Implicit Enhacement in SAP ABAP for a function module or program standard , when the team basis is doing an upgrade the code abap created in the Implicit Enhacement not is deleted?
I have created several Implicit Enhacement for Applications WD ABAP and FM, but I have this doubt.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/HowToDoImplicitEnhancement
Thanks a lot in advance.
Carmen G.

Hi,
you code will be retain after upgrade. If you have done implicit enhancements doesnt mean your code would get deleted after upgrades.
In some cases you might have to activate your enhancments using SPAU.
Thanks

I have 3 +years of experience in SAP ABAP and BRFplus , want to move to australia from India.

Hello Experts,
I have around 3.5 years of experience in SAP -ABAP and SAP-BRFplus . I am based out of india and want to move to Australia.I am trained in ABAP OOPs And Webdynpro. Have worked for around 3 years in Infosys Limited and currently working as Senior Business consultant in SAP ABAP in Ntt Data North America.
I am activly looking for moving to Australia.
So kindly let me know how to go for that.
Regards,
Khushbu

Hi Khushbu
If you want to work in Australia you will need to research the different VISA laws etc. Trying to come "onsite" is a challenge. SAP job demand goes through cycles and sometimes it is difficult to find a position. You might want to look at the large consultancies and see if there is an opportunity for onsite work as part of the project (more than likely make sponsorship easier).
The difficult challenge - most times development work is sent offshore (not all places of course). The work kept in Australia is either they cannot outsource it (federal government and so you need to be an Australian citizen) or it will be more senior staff (10+ years experience). It doesn't mean the work isn't available but you might be competing with other established professionals.

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?

SAP ABAP HR

Hi All,
I am Working as an sap ABAP Consultant, As i want to move to the advance programming like ABAP HR ,WORKFLOW i need some suggestions to go learn it in best way.
I need the best books for sap abap hr ,workflow mainly press books.
Any suggestions would be a great help.
Thanks,
Pavan

Pavan,
Although I believe that you may be able to find some good choices of SAP books to use as reference guides, I believe a good starting point would be focusing your research, figuring out the underlying tables (infotypes in HR) and transactions codes you will be working with. I have included a few general points below that I hope you will find helpful:
ABAP Development for HR has some fundamental differences than what you may be accustomed to, for example
We use logical databases (PNP/PCH) extensively in HCM.
ROUTINES and PROVIDE/ENDPROVIDE are typically used instead of select statements.
HR functional modules tend to begin with HR* or RH*.
Records are time sensitive; therefore, you will need to fetch records based on a certain date that falls between BEGDA and ENDDA
Depending on what area of HR you will be working, you will need to familiarize yourself with the appropriate infotypes, for example
Personnel Area infotypes fall between PA0000 – PA19999
Time infotypes fall between PA2000 – PA29999
Custom infotypes fall between PA9000 – PA9999
I suggest looking at transaction PA20/PA30 to get an understanding on how the infotypes are related and how the data is organized in the system. Actions are used to configure the screens/order for data entry in PA30 (i.e. Hiring action, reactivating action, terminating action, etc…). The following link contains a pretty extensive list of HR transaction codes:http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/SAP+HR+Transaction+Codes
You can find some more specifics and examples in the following thread:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/729258
Lastly, I know that others have suggested the "SAP HR Technical Principals and Programming" book by SAP Press for prospective SAP HCM developers.
Good luck on your journey through ABAP HR and I hope you find the above to be a helpful start!

Sam
