SAP SD + CRM training & certifications

Dear all,
I am new to this forum & i am interested in getting through SAP SD and SAP CRM certifications, i am a little confused about the timeline for the courses, i will break my doubts into points:
1) Is SAP SD training/certification necessary in order to go through CRM training?
2) What kind of functional experience is necessary for both the certifications? How does inside sales profile (with exposure to CRM system) stand as far as domain experience is concerned?
3) Should i go for Back to back training's of SD & CRM or should i work in SD profile for some time & then opt for CRM? How will the back to back training affect, both positively as well as negatively?
4)  Also, instead of SDCRM, will SDMM or SD+PP certification path be better? (i only have sales & marketing exp, no MM or PP exp)
5) I noticed that CRM course is Instructor based & it is for 15 days, other functional courses such as SD,MM,FI etc are 25 days, what might be the difference?
6) The CRM course is quite expensive, INR 3,30,000 ($7000+), is it worth to invest in an authorized CRM program?
7) Apart from the authorized training programs, where else can i get additional knowledge on SD & CRM? Also, i believe that its difficult to know all the business processes in your respective domain, how can i enhance my knowledge on this?
8) What is the difference between CRM 7 & CRM 2007 certifications?
i know i have asked a lot of questions under one post, but i would really appreciate advice on these questions
Thanks a lot in advance.

Sunit

  • From a CRM training course to do SAP BI life time projects

    Hi, My name is Connie. I am currently doing Master's degree in Business Information Systems. I am working as a Software Tester.  I did SAP CRM training as well but have no work experience on CRM. I recently got an opportunity to be exposed to real life projects on SAP but unfortunately it is not CRM that I did training for. I am required to do SAP BI. The question that I need advise on is that, is this a right switch? Can I take this opportunity and later divert to CRM? or must I wait for CRM projects that I don't know when will they come? Is BI a good module to go for, for a person of my background?
    Your advice's will be highly appreciated. Thank you
    Connie

    Hi Connie,
    You can answer your own question (to a great extent) by checking how desperate you are about getting a break in the SAP world.
    - If you comfortable(monetarily and mentally) and patient then you can continue to look of a CRM-related job. The future here is bright.
    - If you something real quick and you have sufficient  training provided in SAP BI/BW and you think you can handle it, then you can go ahead with BI. There's really good scope in BI. Since IT industry is all about expanding your horizon in the software world, you will eventually gather skills in SAP BO, HANA, Big Data etc. That is a good career progression in SAP.
    Both have good career prospects. I suggest you read about SAP BI (if you have not already done) and see if that interests you.

  • Regarding SAP BW online training

    Hi All,
    I am planning to take SAP BW online training at guruischool.com.They are also offering a certification of their own after completion of the course and taking the exam.I need all your help and suggestions about
    1.The quality of the training that is offered
    2.Will getting a certificate from them after writin the exam in any way help.Like how worth and recognised is their certificate.
    Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.

    Hi Raj,
    I have not experience about the online training that you are talking about, but any training other than the SAP trg depends mostly upon the instructors and the availability of the system. If you can find out the credentials of the instructors and if they are approachable, it would help you to decide. It is also a great help to learning if you get a fairly clean system to practise on. Once you have a foundation, other online resources (like SDN of course) will be valuable.
    The certification I would suggest be the SAP certification, unless their's is a mock test and free.
    Hope this helps...

  • EP6: com.sap.pct.crm.generics.ValueHelp not found

    Hi at all,
    We are tring to setup crm default scenario in EP6.
    To do this we have imported the relative business package from iviewstudio.com (Business Package for SAP CRM 4.0 50.2)
    The Bsp part of the application seems to work fine but we get an error following the link that should open a pop-up to help the user selecting values
    The error is described here:
    <i>Portal Runtime Error

    iView not found: /global/services/service-iviews/local/com.sap.pct.crm.generics.ValueHelp.</i>
    This Iview was imported correctly from the business package (I've checke the import logs).  
    I've looked on the server and I've found the related classes/jar (generics.jar).
    I've looked also log (using the logviewer application) files but there nothing releted to this.
    Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem? or something else to check?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Giovanni,
    It looks like a permissions issue, you might want to refer to the permissions of
    1. The role that you are creating, see to it that you have everyone group assigned to it and enduser checked.
    2. As you are connecting to CRM system, you might be have created a system using which you are accessing the CRM system, check for the permissions of that as well.
    Hope this helps.
