SAP career with BPO experience

HI All,
I have worked for BPO organization(Banking- residential Mortgage)for 8 years and overall I have 12 years of experience.
Now I am planning of taking up career in SAP. Can you please guide me.
Abt my self :
Commerce graduate, started my career in Sales FMCG products. Last worked for BPO organization wherein supporting the Leading North Americans banks Mortgage domain.
If I take up SAP FI/CO, will that help me in career ? Is SAP certification is necessary to get the job?
Awaiting reply
Please advise,

Sunshine
Having domain experience in manufacturing/ supply chain is useful, and in my mind, a necessary pre-requisite for being a good SAP SCM functional consultant. However, the reality is that the industry does not value domain experience as much as they should, especially most offshoring companies in India.
Certification/ Training are somewhat useful, but they don't gaurentee anything, least of all getting a job. My advice is always first be sure if you want to switch career tracks from domain to consulting. Remember that the grass is greener.....Talk to people already in the area about travel requirements, working hours, etc.
But if you are certain, the best way is to probably to join an SAP implementation partner. Talk to them about your interest in SAP SCM and domain background. Be prepared to start from the first rung of a very tall ladder. Try to get on an SCM project even if its a support role. Get involved in internal activities such as proposal development, pre-configured solutions. See if they will sponsor certification/ training.
Opportunities in SAP SCM are a mixed bag. Projects are smaller compared to ERP implementations, so number of resources required are fewer. On the other hand number of available skilled resources is also smaller. Supply Chain Planning is a high priority for clients, but many of them don't have the maturity level required to implement advanced planning systems or are unwilling to commit to the effort/ expense.
Best of luck and keep the sun shining high !

I dont have any experience in SAP, but want to learn and get into SAP career.....how do I begin please suggest

vapin,
Search for online training institutes on the net. Each of these gives a demo. By attending the demo make a selection of the institute.
On Youtube too, there are lots of SD training videos. Check those.
TW
Added: A good trainer will have the following:
1 - give business examples, to explain functionalities
e.g. intercompany sale process: the process from his experience, what are the key benefits to business etc.
IMP: Functional consultant is first about understanding the business process and second about configuration etc. in SAP
2 - patience
he should not be reluctant to answer your questions properly
he should sense how you are understanding the concepts, and take necessary actions
3 - mentor
what should be your next steps - how to prepare SD, how to prepare your resume, how to prepare for interviews etc. etc.

Career with BI/BW

Hi,
Sorry. This is a non general question.
I am presently in UK.
I have experience of 8+ years in other technologies & ERP. I wish to pursure career with BI/BW.
I am trying for an online course with dummy assignments to learn SAP BI/BW. My question is:-
Is it worth going for a training & looking for a job in this area?
Does it require experience to get a job in this line?
Do companies ask for certifications?
I am getting an online course from India @ 13k INR. Kindly advise if it is worth going for a career change.
Thanks,
Regards,

Hi Alok,
Thanks for all your very valuable inputs, thats been very helpful to me.
I do not have an experience with SAP. I have worked with a Microsoft ERP for 5+ yrs in functional & technical both plus 3+ yrs in other technologies as Sr. Engineer. Currently my role is more a functional being a Sr. Consultant.
I wish to switch over to SAP functional modules or SAP BI/BW. I do possess a good functional knowledge in almost all modules but not with SAP. But i do not know if this experience will really help with SAP.
Are there any good online courses available in this thread? If yes what will be the fees? (If anyone is aware...)
I know the fees at the authorized training centers for any functional module is very costly(i thnk arnd 1.5 - 2.5 lakhs).
But are the other institutes worth going for trainings?
Can a person without prior SAP experience directly go in for SAP certifications?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

How to increase your battery health - anyone with similar experiences?

this is my very own self made instruction of "how to increase your battery health"
it is the procedure how i have done it serverall times on my powerbook g4 12".
my stats: 374 cycles, health 86% (3790 of 4400mAh)
age of my mac: 57month (battery bit newer)
**if you to try this: it is on your own risk!**
**this may not be suitable for mac newbies**
**be sure to read this twice before you do it once!**
you will need:
-a pocket lamp or comparable light (to see anything on your sreen when it is dark --> light from the back through apple logo)
-coconutbattery (coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery) or comparable programm to track your battery information in realtime
-activity monitor
-cool enviroment (to ensure your fans don't have to work that much)
-some time and patience
the intructions:
step1: load your mac until the orange light turns green
step2: disconnect the power adapter
step3: use your mac until 15-25% battery life (track this information in your menu bar)
step4: slow down your activities. the order of the following actions depend on your usage of your mac:
__close programms that use lots of cpu/gpu to ensure the fans slow down to 0rpm (!!)
__turn off everything that needs battery power: airport / bluetooth / speakers / etc.
__eject dvd or cd
__close all programms with important data
__eject idisk / .dmg files in your finder (this is not only a matter of data security)
__dissonnected from peripherals such as ethernet / internet / mouse / keyboard
__use lower brightness level
__open activity monitor to ensure that your hard drive activity is very low, may be you need to close more active programms, close activity monitor when hard drive activity is very low
__open system preferences >> energy saver preferences >> choose longest battery life
when your are ready with those actions go on and ensure you are able to connect to power adapter with your mac quickly (be able to charge - don't do it yet!)
step5: be patient. now it should take some time until your battery level goes down to 3-5%
now there should be no programm running.
do not open any programm now!
do not have a look at your dashboard!
now your mac should be really quiet:
-no fans (0rpm!)
-nearly no hard drive activity!!
-->> if this not the case break go on with step 11&12, try again in a week or two
-->> if you are ready go on with step6
step6: open coconutbattery und use the lowest brightness level
play with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start. waste time until you are at 1-2% battery life.
step7: take your lamp and spot through the transperent apple logo, position your coconut battery window somehow that you can see the current battery charge und the maxium battery charge in the spot of your lamp through the apple logo.
step8: go from the lowest brightness level to the level under the lowest brightness level (a dark screen)
step9: watch your current battery charge carefully und keep on playing with your trackpad to ensure your screensaver won't start.
step10: there is kind of battery buffer made of approximately 1% (once when my "current battery charge" was 3624mAh and this kind of buffer was at 36mAh)
to empty this kind of battery buffer takes much longer as you might expect!
when your current battery charge turns under this kind of battery buffer, your maximum battery charge should change. hopefully it is higher or stays the same. when it is lower now: i'm sorry - i have warned you. may be you have to go through this 'how to' more carefully!?
step11: plug in your power adapter before the battery is cero!
step12: load until the orange light turns green
step13: if it was helpful do not repeat it more than once a week, better once a month
-->webcal://www.apple.com/batteries/images/notebook_icalreminder.ics
(via: http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html)
anyone with similar experiences about increasing battery health!?
(yes, i'm sorry for my poor english, i've tried my best)

Me too! My battery lasts for 10 minutes. It is awful and I am on my 4th power adapter since they keep breaking too.
From coconut battery: Maximum battery charge 310mah, original 4400, age of mac 45 months, 140 cycles.
From system profile:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 310
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 213
Amperage (mA): -1205
Voltage (mV): 11557
Cycle Count: 140
I went to an apple authorized retailer and they said nothing I can do if it is out of warranty.. is this true?

Be Careful With Apple Authorised Services in Russia

Dear Society,
I have bad experience with contacting one of authorised services which is published in Apple web site. It is a company called "Service.OK" and situated in Zelenograd in particular. My MacBook Air 2,5 years old got to have a problem with a screen after few drops of wine leak inside from the vent area where black panel is situated and served for monitor and keyboard panels junction. I have not expected the problem with the laptop because the glass of wine feltdown far away from the place it is situated however it was lying upside down and closed. So drops still most probably go inside. After certain period of time I switched it on and started working. Suddenly the screen goes blue and later fade away. Next day I brougt it to the address where this "Service.OK" is situated for diagnosis.
In a week I got a call from the service where they offered to repair for about 7500 RUR in cleaning the oxidation that was caused by the wine. I gave my permit for this operation. After a week time I got a new call from the service and they informed me that they were unsuccsesful with reparing it and my laptop requires to change the whole screen panel. The price of it was 23000 RUR. This time I was angree that this company is not able to do right diagnosis and I do not know what to expect later even if changing the screen panel will be unsufficient for them. I asked them to stop any actions and return the laptop back to me. I promise to compensate thier effort for diagnosis though. The service said that I can pick up it after receiving sms notification.
13 days left and I got this sms notification. I was back from the business trip and came there in 5 days. And (what a surprise!!!) I got another display panel assembled to the keybord panel with my serial number. I am 100% sure that it is not mine from the scratches I had on the top/screen panel. I rejected to take it and called to
(A) Service.OK contact number claiming that and
(B) Apple support contact number desribing the problem.
(A) Service.OK informed me that my laptop was not delivered to them. The company which is operating on the address where Service.OK is shown in Apple web-site is no longer their representative point. It is another company as far as I unvestigated. However I got
(1) a receipt with Service.OK web address reference,
(2) Service.OK web site contained an information about my laptop being received and reviewed and
(3) Service.OK point shown on their web site is the same where I gave my laptop.
(B) Apple support specialist Natalia was responsible to communicate with me about my claim. She promised to report about this problem to higher department responsible for servises authorisation in Apple. However I was really dissapointed that no actions toward Service.OK was made by Apple. It is still on the authorised services list on the same address where I gave my laptop. She can only sorry to me because Apple has no legal company in Russia to handle this situation and thier company is just for providing support.
So I have a situation that neither Apple nor Service.OK are not willing to take responsibility that my laptop does not received qualified diagnosis under Apple authorisation and additionally its parts were changed while this diagnosis.
I am now consulting with lawer in order to investigate opportunity to claim about this problem to either Service.OK or company that issued an official receipt (or even propably to Apple) in the court.
Thus I would like to underline following statements:
- Be carefull with authorised service centers in Russia. Apple seems to do not care about what is going on there.
- Never deal with point in Zelenograd and be careful with other Service.OK points.
- Know your laptop serial numbers before giving it to diagnosis otherwise it is unable to prove own position.
I will be thankful if anybody from society had such problem in the past and may give any advice. Any opinions are welcome.
Thanks
Dimitri

Sap career in which module - reg.

Hello Guru's
This is challa, from Hyderabad, i have lot of doubts in choosing the sap career. I found many sap modules in which i can't find to choose.
i am working as a Logistics executive (import & Export) in a company, i am very much interested in SAP. My Aim is to get a job in SAP industry.
So, please suggest me sir which module is suitable to move forward in SAP, i am very much confused so please kindly help me sir.
now my age is 29 yrs is this age is write to get job in SAP. so please give me complete guidance sir.
Regards
CHALLA

Hi Sudhakar,
The best suitable module / system suits for you is SAP SD (cover logistics) & Foreign Trade and SAP Global Trade Services (Compliance, Customer, Risk Management.
SAP SD Covers logistic execution and Foreign Trade, however nowadays SAP trying to split all modules in big a way due to Globalization. If you look at SAP SD - Foreign Trade that becomes SAP Global Trade Services as separate system.
The quite secret is domain experience never counts in IT industry but that would be an added advantage for your career as for my experiences in India and outside India. Also, the companies first question is "Whether you have relevant SAP experience or are you holding any SAP certification" you can experience when you apply for a job.
Age side, there is no restriction of age to enter into SAP because when I studied in SAP Authorized Training Institute there were two guys whose age was 40 and 41 years and another two guys were 36 years old. That was a great boost to me when I joined at 29 years to take a certification and I started my SAP career at 29 years only.
You know one thing, all those guys got a job in only in CMM Level 5 companies in India, you have to believe you and your passion, patience and perseverance end of the day. Because those Mid 30 years and 40 years old guys were succeeded already then why can't you.
Our guys already pointed lot of things to you... Take a slow step one by one and try to get into SAP. Do not urge you and take the step. Do not leave your current job and take the step. So, take it very slowly and precisely.
How will I take step?
1. Go to SAP Authorized Training and take a certification
2. Go to SAP Training Training and Certification Shop and Take the training & certification.
3. Be patient and apply the job and set your target (give 3 to 6 months time) to get into SAP or become SAP Consultant.
Regards

Okay my phone was working just fine and I locked it and went to unlock it and now it just sits on the black screen it wont even show the lock screen I dont know what to do but I am very careful with my phone anyone know how to fix it? Plz and thank you!

Okay my phone was working just fine and I went to unlock it and it wont show the lock screen it just remains black please if anyone can help me fix it it will be much appreciated, I am very careful with my phone so I dont know why its acting like this.

I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

Career after ABAP experience

Hi all
I have 4 years experience as SAP ABAP Technical Consultant.
Currently working with a reputed IT company.
However , in my entire sap experience, I have worked only in support projects without much of learning.
Also, I have realized that I am not very comfortable with programming stuff since I neither got complete expertise nor the interest to work on.
Can anybody suggest me a suitable profile change within SAP but with a different technology/module
that I can take up so that my 4 years experience is utilized and also I get to move in a different technology other than abap?
How about new emerging technologies in SAP - HANA , Cloud , Mobility , UX ?
Any expert suggestions if I can move to SAP audit/GRC stream from here on?

Hi Shalini
Without you going into specifics of what type of ABAP support work you have done it is a bit difficult.
I come from a GRC/Security background and the only thing you have in common with security (and some of the GRC Access Controls) - I hope - would be knowing how to properly restrict your code with authority checks and proper DB calls via function modules/etc.
If you were to move down a GRC/Audit path, unless you have some specific audit qualification you would need to start from the beginning. Depending on the support you did for ABAP you might have a specific function module that you supported and could consider transitioning to that (possibly you employer might let you as well).
Having an ABAP background could extend towards the user interfaces and workflow. HANA is a platform (you can read up more look at free courses by searching SCN, check openSAP.com, etc). If you do not like programming, would you like technical topics? There is HANA development (and a lot of resources if you search) but I doubt you would want to do that if you don't like ABAP.
Cloud is how software is hosted/available to the client. At the end of the day it's about the applications... unless you were in a technical area responsible for the hosting, etc.
My recommendation is to think about your strengths, do a little research and find out what opportunities are within your employer. Support work is not bad (I wrote a blog recently after being fed up that people assume support work means not opportunities). However, if you do not believe you have the experience or interest in ABAP, perhaps your employer sees that too and is therefore, reluctant to provide you with opportunities outside of support (like a project).

SAP installation with template

Hi guru's
i am looking for a possibility to install SAP systems with an template - without using sapinst.
The goal should be to run a lot of standard installation's (e.g. ERP 6.0 EHP-4) with an default kernel and default ORACLE environment and parameters etc. So it can be copied to an targed instance.
Does one have any experience with things like that?
Thank's for all suggestion's
Jochen

>The goal should be to run a lot of standard installation's (e.g. ERP 6.0 EHP-4) with an default kernel and default ORACLE environment and parameters etc
If you will use the same Instalaltion media it will be same Kernel and Oracle version also. You cannot install two SAP system with same SID on same network with same hostname so you have to change the SID during Installation/Restore or you have to define the different host. All the environment variable is system and user specific so there is no template for a standard Installtion. In case if you have already a Sap instance is running on QA system and you want to replicate is from PRD system on that case you need not to use a sapinst, you can directlry restore the database and perform the post installation activity and and it will be done.
