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.

SAP MM Functional Consultant's role in a Upgrade Project from 4.6C to 6.0

Hi Guys,
I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Thanks guys.

> I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
- defining the core processes
- test and customize them
- release the customizing transports for production
> I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
Since each project is different and each system has a different customizing/configuration it's not possible to generate a step-by-step guide what you have to do. The requirements are usually defined by the business.
Your project leader should be able to give you a project plan (e. g. by using Solution Manager Upgrade Project) where you can get an idea based on the system you're going to upgrade.

What are the roles & responsibilities of SAP MDG Functional Consultant?

Dear experts,
Please explain What are the roles & responsibilities of SAP MDG Functional Consultant?
Regards
Adhi,

Hello Adhi
There is no limit to explore in MDG. As a functional consultant you are responsible for -
1. Defining scope of MDG
2. Set up governance process - Workflow
3. Configuration - MDG (Activate services - functions / role set up / Data modelling / process modelling / replication set up ) - You have to involve in each of these activities with technical. You can also do it on your own.
4. Testing - end to end testing and training
5. Cut over activities - data load etc
In these areas, you have to contribute 100% and work with entire team (tech) for set up.
As mention, you can explore a lot in MDG.

No no, its not about feeling bad. I need to know everything in and out. It might be a career swipe for me.
Its "pursue" not purchase - I meant should I begin training for SAP MM.
From your response Mr. Dev, seems like your acknowledging to the idea that I should start SAP MM.

SAP EHS Functional Consultant Role

Hi All SAP Experts!!!
Seeking help from all of you for enlighten me with inputs for enabling me to take next step as a SAP EHS Functional Consultant Role.
Quick information about myself, I am 43 year young guy, have done my Masters in Chem, Post Graduate Diploma in Safety Health and Environment, Certification in NEBOSH-International General Occupational Health & Safety, Lead Auditor of ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 with 20+ years of industrial experience of implementation of Safety Health and Environmental Management in various industries (Engineering, Oil & Gas, Automobile, Automotive, Chemical, Facility Management & Infrastructure at India, Middle East, South Africa & US) by working and auditing them for respective EHS Standards.
As I have personally used and witnessed usage of many of the EHS related software which were ERP/ SAP based and found them very useful for making an fool-proof arrangement for effective EHS implementation. I did found some of the functional improvements areas during usage of the same i.e. by deploying EHS best practices I have witnessed at other industries directly or through software which will finally benefit the end-user and hence for the society too.
Following are my queries -
1. What can be the career path for person like me, who is having EHS functional knowledge & experience but does not have direct SAP implementation related experience and certification?
2. What are the minimal certification and qualification I will be requiring before switching to SAP Functional Consultant Role?
3. Who can be some of the best employer for me start this role?
Any other information, suggestions and inputs in this regards are more than welcome.
Thanking you all for the help and guidance you are going to provide.

Dear Sameer
your questions are discussed very often in this FORUM. Hi, is such an example, but you will a lot of more similar examples.
E.g.:

SAP niche domains with better future prospects
To All The SAP Mentors
Looking forward for your valuable suggestions please !!
Future Scope of SD for an abaper.
Therefore these are my hints:
Check first: SAP EHS Management for Beginners
Try to understand what SAP is doing (what means which solution exists and which solution is the right one to start with etc.).
To act a functional guy in SAP area you need basic understanding about SAP solutions.
1.) Shortly: there is no SAP certification in place for the SAP EHS solutions.
2.) Career: normally you ned first some basic SAP and SAP EHS training. The SAP training is available nearly worldwide. SAP EHS training is limited. E.g. there seems to be no good training option available in India (has been discussed as well in this FORUM).
Based on you "starter package" (know how) the "SAP EHS end user" option may be is the best. If you know about legal aspects/regulations etc. then by working on that in a company using SAP EHS solutions you will get closer to "technique" For work in EHS environment you need to have knowledge at least in the area (as called by SAP): product safety, dangerous goods management; as these are the "core" topics to cover in a company handling chemistry. On the top: if you have knowledge in the area of "Label Management" or "Waste" topics then you are in good starting position.
PLease check this FORUM. A lot of more threads can be found easily may be helping you to decide to go on.
C.B.
PS: please check first any SCN forum; it took me only "10" seconds (Ok less then one minute; but it was very easy) to generate the list of threads as part of this thread.

Need help in getting information/training material for SAP CRM (Functional)

Hello,
I am a SD Consultant.
I want to learn SAP CRM (Functional) on my own without going to any training institute or some thing.
Therefore, can anyone help me in forwarding the link(s) or document(s) with which I can learn about SAP CRM (Functional).
I want information/training material regarding SAP CRM 7.0 (on system/software working, not the general information, for example- why CRM, where CRM, etc)
For example, about org data, org structure, possible scenarios, etc.
Thanks in advance for spending your valuable time for me.

Hi Chaitanya,
Since You are already a SD Consultant, We assume you are very much familliar with SAP and for you CRM will also be not a big Deal.
Customer Relationships Management (CRM) is a model for managing any Organization's interaction with current and future customers. It involves technology to organize, automate and synchronize SALES, SERVICES(postsales) AND MARKETING(presales).
First of all you need to get SAP CRM installed in your system and then you need to get command over Account and Contact Management (Business Partner). The same can be learned using WebUI or GUI. From GUI the transaction launcher is WUI then web page opens up enter your credentials and select Role - Salespro. Open the Account and Contact section and do some R&D and you can learn. But in GUI you need to go to SPRO -> IMG -> Cross Application Components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Number Ranges & Groupings -> Define Number Ranges. Here you have defined number range then you need to assign to some group created from SPRO same way. And Finally maintain Business Partner using Tcode - BP.
Then You Learn Organizational Management which allows us to map our marketing, sales, service structure maintaining company's structure including the position and Employees in an Application and assign specific attributes to the otganizational units.
Path: SPRO -> IMG -> CRM -> Master Data -> Organizational Management -> Organizational Model -> Create Org Model/Change org model.
Just Go ahead and with some more R&D in the system and taking of F1 Help of SAP Documentation I think you can easily learn SAP CRM.

Piyush

SAP MII function issue in SAP MII 14.0

Hi,
Currently I was working on some content up gradation work in SAP MII 14.0 , but while working, I have got a strange think regarding SAP MII Functions. We have developed the same code in SAP MII 12.2 and faced the issue while migrating to 14.0. The issue is as follows,
The function we have used in 12.2 is getvalue(name) as in the below screenshot,
but while we have migrated to 14.0, then we saw the function has updated into getvalue(map, key) in 14.0
I have no idea why parameter of the existing function got updated, but the problem is if someone want to migrate the existing code from 12.2 to 14.0 using such of function then he/she can get a "Conversion Exception" and at that time it will become bit hectic to identify the issue and change the logic to handle this in all the places.
Regards,
Suman

Hello Suman,
I guess it is a bug in MII 14.0. The help doc has the getValue(name) still. However, the newer function is not present in the same. I guess it was not documented. I guess, the getValue(map, name) is a newer function which somehow replaced the older one.
I would suggest you to raise a support ticket. According to me, the getValue(name) and getValue(map, name), both should exist.

Unicode conversion & SAP Office functionality.

Hi All,
We are in a process of combined upgrade & Unicode coversion. Our source release is 4.6C and we are going for "SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Application Server ABAP including SAP Enhancement Package 01 ". As per CU&UC guide in "Component-specific Requirements" there is SAP office related requirement.
I have gone through sap note 691407, 690074 and I understand that from the release 4.6C SAP will not loger enhance it as some of the components are not unicode enable.
I query is
1) How to find out whether we are productively using SAP offce in our system and which of these components wil not be available after unicode conversion.
2) What exactly will happen after unicode conversion to these fuctionalities.
Please reply.
Regards

Hi Nikhil,
I do not think you will find a detailed list of functionality which works.
As far as I remember, the 'deprecation status' of sophisticated SAP Office functions (e.g. SAPMAPI) is more than 8 years old ...
Therefore I do not see another option than testing your scenarios and find out which functionality still works (this might be also caused by the upgrade, not only Unicode).
Best regards,
