Years of experience for Professional Certification in SAP FI??

Hi
I have already completed the Associate level of certification (that is level 1) in SAP FI.
I would like to know what is the lower limit of work experience years (if any) for taking the next level certification, that is, Professional level
Also, Is there any other prerequisite for this Professional level certification other than relevant experience in the SAP FI field?
Relevant responses will be appreciated!
Thanks
Regards
Z

Hello Zubin
The Professional exams are developed for folks with approx. 3-7 years of practical hands-on SAP experience. The assumption is they have an excellent knowledge of the associate exam content. While the associate exam is not a prereq for the professional exam, one has to know their book and hands-on knowledge to pass a professional exam.
Hope this helps,
Ken

Hi,
Wow, that sounds like pretty bad service from your training centre. I would take my business elsewhere.
Anyway, I might be able to help a little questions 3 and 4. I did my ABAP certification a few years ago.
"3. What Is the prerequisite for SAP ABAP Crtification through OLT like we know candidate must have a basic knowledge of any programming language but upto what extend ?"
To learn ABAP you need to know programming basics. It's not much different to other languages. To become certified you need broad ABAP & SAP knowledge and (ideally) some real experience.
"4. How much time a candidate must devote and how a candidate prepare a blue print or a time table for preparing for there certification exam as well as having in depth knowledge of ABAP"
It took me about 6 months (part-time) of rereading the course notes, practicing on sample tests, and making up sample questions.
Here are some tips on what to do in the certification exam itself:

How to maintain year of experience required for a position?

Hi All,
There is a very requirement for a position like "3 years of experience as Executive" I dont know how to maintain this requirement in SAP. Right now we have created a qualification named "Executive Experience" with a time scale assigned to it with a validity period of one year so HR dept must change the scale evey year. It works but it's not best practice. I know if there is a way we can use employee past and current work history to determine the level of experience and also how to define this requirement in position profile.

Hi Dilek,
I maintained all those thing. But i have to do the selection process on the basis of position with year of experience. While doing the selection process via Position or Qualification its picking up the exact applicant. I created a career as 3 years as you said so that the minimum year of experience for that position is 3 years. Then where i can give the year of experience for the applicant? Even though i maintained the previous employer details as 2 years the system is picking up the applicant. Logic wise how to do this?
Please help me to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Magesh S.

Calculating years of experience using YEAR( )

Hi all,
I am trying to calculate the years of experience for every employee in a company. Ideally, I hope the system will update the years of experiece every year without hardcoding.
For example, instead of:
Select 2010 - emp.start_year
from emp
I want to use:
Select YEAR(GETDATE()) - emp.start_year
from emp
However, apex gave me an error saying "YEAR" is not a valid identifier.
What's wrong and how do I fix that?
Thank you very much for the help!

So the Year( ) and GETDATE( ) functions don't work in APEX?No they don't work in Oracle, as they are Microsoft SQL Server functions.
Why did you "want" to use them? See the Oracle SQL Reference:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/sql_elements001.htm#sthref153
The EXTRACT function is useful in extracting date components for use in calculations, eliminating the need for nesting multiple conversion functions:
select extract(year from sysdate) - extract(year from hiredate)
from emp;

For Professional level certification aspirants in SAP Controlling module

Dear all Professional level Certification aspirants in SAP CO module,
I have recently passed the Certification test on SAP Management Accounting (CO) module in version ERP 6.0 EHP4. I have more than 4 years experience in SAP Controlling module.The following are some of my suggestions regarding preparation for the exam.
1. All the questions were scenario based. The exam tests expert level knowledge and real time scenarios in the module. The theoritical knowledge is not sufficient to clear the exam. Unless you have atleast 5 to 6 implementations in Controlling module, it is not advisable to give it a try.
2. Detailed knowledge of the system configuration settings about the various courses mentioned in the syllabus is required. One needs a clear understanding of Special costing functions, ERP integration, Transfer Pricing, Material ledger, New GL Parallel valuation, Planning and Budgeting fuctions in various components etc.
3. The exam tests in-depth knowledge about various integration aspects of Controlling module with other modules. The advanced master data functionalities of other logistical modules like MM, SD, PP, PM, QM, PS, CS, HCM is tested in detail.
4. Several methods of process and performance optimization of the system are also tested.
3. Some reporting aspects of BW and BI are also tested. The cross application aspects of the system are also tested.
4. The exam also tests the real time skills in preparing Blueprints, Business Process design and trouble shooting the system. Being knowledgeable about some of the processing errors and message classes will be of great help.
Hope this information helps you in preparing for the certification.
Should you need any clarifications, please post a reply to this thread and I will post answers.
All the Best!!
VS.

Hi Vikrant,
the pass mark for the exam is 58%. However it may be different. The passing mark shown on your screen on the day will be the correct passing mark.
All the questions were scenario based which would involve high analytical skills and through understanding of the system integration. It would be difficult to tell any specific question. The questions carry different weightage. If you answer the questions with less weightage correctly than the questions with more weightage, you end up scoring less though you answer more number of questions correctly. and it is vice versa. Go through your syllabus and cources and try to concentrate on the topic areas which contain more weightage.
Moreover, the exam is not completely technical in nature. It tests a lot of analytical and problem solving skills required on the job.
Note:Please do not ask the questions or contents of the exam as they are confidential.
Hope this information helps you.
All the best for your exam!
Regards,
Vishnu.

Want to move to SAP after 6+ years of experience in a completely different field?

Hi and Good Day to all lovely people on SCN.
I have been following this site for quite a few months now, reason: I am hooked to the wonderful world of SAP.
I still haven't personally experienced it, and currently in dire need of suggestions from your expertise.
After completing my MBA in Finance & Marketing, I started working for a Multi-National Bank in its Back Office Operations.
Been 6+ years and now am planning to also explore and enhance my knowledge in IT field which would be relevant to my
current experience and help amplify the chances of improving my career.
Am confused, and unable to determine which modules should I start with to get the basics of SAP.
Hence request you all show me how to take my first steps and gradually move faster by strengthening my roots.
Request you all to show me a road map, which would help me overcome any hurdles on the way to my destination of
being certified in at least one module.
I support Foreign Exchange operations and have fair (but not in depth) technical knowledge of how two systems are linked together to get the
job done automatically. Since, basically am from Finance, I have good knowledge on different financial products. Hope this would help you to
determine which module in SAP would be well suited for me.
I request every one of you to, please help me out and guide me so that I can make most of it.
Anxiously looking forward to receive responses.
Thank you & Regards
Bilal Ahmed D

Hi Bilal
Honest question here: Why SAP? You appear to have zero exposure or experience, including not knowing what "SAP AG" is yet you are keen to completely change your career? How did you hear about SAP? Sorry, I do not mean to be unkind.
So far you have described your background and asked what module. You've received some recommendation on what module based on a very high level summary you have provided - back-end operations can mean a multitude of work activities.
I have also tried to provide you with an alternative approach to entering SAP. In my recommendation it is not about being hired because you do have or not have SAP skill set. It is about getting a job because you have industry experience and you just happen to now work for a company that uses SAP. Once you start working for the company you then start using SAP as an end user. You get more exposure to the system from that point of view. You may even discover that SAP does your head in (it happens to all of us at some point) and you are no longer interested.
I am not a functional person nor industry qualified so I can't say which module is right for you. But the reality is no-one in SCN is qualified to tell you what pursue. Particularly, when you seem to want to change industry as well - sounds like you are planning to go back to square one whether you intend to or not. If you were to change industry, how would you achieve that? Your approach in changing industry would probably include the same steps as changing product knowledge to SAP: research, hard work, networking, job application, etc and a bit of luck and opportunity presenting itself at the right time for you to capitalise on.
How intensely you should work will also come down your natural abilities and motivation/desire to succeed in my career path.
For education, search SCN for Learning Hub. You can obtain free access to some course material which would include introduction for you to have a look and see what it's all about and what takes your interest.
But please keep in mind (and search other posts here).. a lot of freshers seek training and certification with expectation it will lead to a well-paid job. They then come here and ask why no one hires freshers or why did they spend all this money on certification when experience is sought. You have experience, just a different flavour.

SAP CRM Sales or Service or Marketing Professional Certification Exam

Dear Experts,
I have Experience in SAP ABAP and BW .
I want to write SAP CRM Professional Certification Exam.
But my Question is in which CRM module(Sales/Service/Marketing), I should do the certification.
I mean which would be useful in my career.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Regards
Sam

As you know in ERP, BW is cross system, in CRM happens the same, fristly I would ask myself in which ERP process where I was more involved. If I dealt with docuemtns (business transactions) I would go for SAP CRM Sales, if my vision is wider (MM, FI, CO) and not so focused on the SD area I would go for the services.
In your situation I would go for the SAP Certified Application Associate - CRM Fundamentals with SAP CRM 7.0 EhP2 and forget about the "Professional" ones.

Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.

Hello Adviser /expert,
Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.
As now i m thinking to do SAP-PM certified course from authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
So any one can suggest authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
My introduction (About myself): - I had done my Diploma in Mechanical and had total 09 years of experience in Mechanical Maintenance field that to in different manufacturing company such as Steel, Auto Ancillary & Cotton plant.
Whether its right decision to change my career from Core sector to SAP-PM..??
Is there very good scope in SAP-Pm for me after 09 years of Core Maintenance field..???
Guide me
Warm Regard
Ravin

Ravindra,
SAP PM is very niche Module, very in demand module, at the same time, being niche, getting into it and getting 1 implementation is also difficult.
your decision of joining SAP authorized training is the best option, as a certified consultant, you have more chances to get a break as fresher and you can continue working on it, else it would waste of your intellectual energy.
you just search sap.com training or email them or chat with them, they will give u the training center details,
but very less training classes are available. Try you will get lucky soon

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.

Colleen

Does IT services sales experience can be counted as a domain experience for SAP SD Fresher?

Hello All,
I am new to SCN and i need your help.
I am currently working as a Sales Executive with an IT consulting firm specialized in SAP & Oracle consulting services.
I want to enter into SAP world and i thought that SAP SD is best for me because of my education (MBA-Marketing) & current experience.
When i research on SAP SD i got to know that Domain knowledge is very important for a consultant. I felt happy because I have around 3 Years of Sales experience for Oracle & SAP consulting services.
After enrolling for SAP SD education one day I heard that experience of services industry is not counted as a domain experience.
I had already invested huge money for SAP SD education and now i am feeling helpless because of this news.
Please help me with your experience whether IT services sales experience can be counted as a domain experience for SAP SD Fresher or not?
Waiting for your response.
Your Junior,
Alok

Alok,
Don't worry! IT service sales experience can be counted as domain experience for SAP SD career.
After being in SAP for some years (as an end user, key user, SD consultant), the most important things are clear process thinking, perseverance, honest hard work and communication.
If you have the above qualities, then you will succeed in SAP!
SAP SD is the logistics side of sales. In other words, there is a Laptop repair shop. If SAP SD is implemented, it will take care of creating repair order, creating billing document. So it is not about selling but about maintaining those "records" in SD.
The above example is of service. This too is part of SD.
So if someone has experience in sale of service that is relevant domain experience.
Apart from this you have to understand, imagine - sale of products.
In sale of products, there will be one addition step - delivery of product, from the manufacturer to the customer / consumer.
Focus you mind on learning.
Good luck!
