Foreword
Before I entered in the SAP Consultancy, I had many questions. Mind was boggling with
endless questions on how to proceed and become an SAP Consultant myself. All I knew
was, that some SAP named product is there outside and its experts are very much high in
demand plus this field pays very well with numerous opportunities to travel.
My first encounter with SAP was back in late 1990’s, this was the year when this product
was introduced and implemented in that part of the world where I belong. When I was in
high school and in ‘Computer Applications’ course, one of our instructor mentioned SAP
and gave a brief overview of ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning.
Soon after completing my high school, I got a chance to intern at one of the MNC’s
(Multinational Companies) which had an SAP roll-out and was the first company to become
an SAP partner back in early 2000. During my internship, I managed to have a look at the
SAP screens and due to my curiosity, I requested the guy there in finance (we both shared
same first name) who was responsible to park incoming invoices; to teach me and I would
like to do the few. He was generous to train me but gently refused to let me use his Login
ID to park the invoices. Same guy taught me about SAP, what is SAP, how it is in demand
worldwide and how the consultants holding SAP skills are well paid worldwide.
To cut the story short and before we start with the SAP introduction and way forward if you
are interested in making SAP your career, I would like to share a brief introduction of the
writer of these words, i.e. myself.
I have been part of SAP industry for almost now 09 years and basically I am an SAP
Functional Consultant. I have been involved in SAP end-to-end life cycles, roll-outs, pre-
sales, demos, support ticket resolution, troubleshooting, trainings and end user support.

These words which you will be reading are solely based on my experience, observations
and what I have learned during these 9 years of roller coaster ride during my career to give
you an actual idea of what it is like to be an SAP Consultant.
What is SAP?
SAP ERP or SAP ECC (Enterprise Central Component) stands for:
In German:
Systeme
Anwendungen,
Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung
In English:

Applications and
Products in Data Processing

SAP: A 44-year History of Success (and Counting)
Headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, SAP is the market leader in enterprise application

software. In 1972, five entrepreneurs in Germany had a vision for the business potential of
technology. Starting with one customer and a handful of employees, SAP set out on a path
that would not only transform the world of information technology, but also forever alter the
way companies do business. Now 44 years and approximately 300,000 customers
stronger, more than ever, SAP is fueled by the pioneering spirit that inspired its founders to
continually transform the IT industry.
SAP is listed on several exchanges, including the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and NYSE,
under the symbol “SAP”.

What is ERP?
ERP is an abbreviation of Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP helps an enterprise or an

organization or a company to run its business effectively by planning its resources

the SAP world, globally.
SAP Training/Certification Options
You have just graduated or you have been a professional working in another field but
would like to switch your career to SAP Consultancy.
First thing and your priority should be, is to get certified in the SAP module which you have
opted for. Companies prefer those candidates in fresh category who at least have
certification in SAP module. If you are certified from SAP SE, it is a license that the
candidate is aware of basic business processes and SAP’s functionality of respective

Hands-on Training – Client or Consultancy
Once you have acquired SAP certification or completed SAP Academy successfully, now
obviously, you would like to enter in SAP world. Now, what are your options? There are
preciously following options where you can opt for to start your SAP career.
S A P I M P L E M E N TAT I O N PA R T N E R ( C O N S U LTA N C Y )
SAP has partnered with number of implementation partners worldwide. Every SAP
fresher’s priority and dream is to work for SAP implementation partner initially. Your options
to enter and work with the SAP implementation partner are:
Internship: an internship is a very good source of entering the SAP world with any SAP
implementation partner. There are bright chances that your internship is converted into
full time job in the future based on your potential, performance and of course,
company’s hiring policy
Recruitment Drive: companies often start recruitment drive both on campuses or outside
where companies hire future potential candidates on certain criteria, then train and
groom them to make them their future assets. One should be vigilant and follow the
companies when they initiate and offer such drives
Fresher: companies do offer and advertise vacancies for fresh certified SAP
Consultants. The key is to select the implementation partner with whom you want to be
associated with and be vigilant, follow the company’s HR announcements and gain
market intelligence whenever your selected SAP partner has opened their positions /
vacancies for fresh certified candidates
C L I E N T E N D – C O M PA N I E S I M P L E M E N T I N G S A P
The companies which are opting for SAP implementation are a great source to start your
SAP career. Companies opting for SAP do look for and hire SAP Certified Consultants to
act as a bridge and liaise between SAP Implementation Partner and the Business Users so
that the latter’s routine tasks and operations are not hampered.
You as a fresh certified SAP Consultant will have an exposure of SAP implementation
despite being on another side of the table but still you will be able to observe how the
Consultant’s interact, understand business processes and design them. You being SAP
support resource will be directly interacting with the SAP Consultants and Business Users
simultaneously resulting in an understanding of not only company’s specific business
processes but also getting trained on SAP front end transactions by the Consultants
themselves.
Company and the Business Users shall be heavily dependent on you once the
implementation partner has left after completing the implementation cycle. You will be the
first line of support and helping the Users in their daily routine of operations as you have
end to end knowledge of business processes and have been intensively trained on the
designed processes in the SAP.
C L I E N T E N D – C O M PA N I E S A L R E A D Y R U N N I N G S A P
There are many companies globally which have already implemented and have been
running SAP over a period. Getting hired in such companies is also beneficial for a fresh
certified SAP resource. Since the companies are experienced in running SAP their
processes and systems are matured.
You will be required to solve the support tickets on daily basis which can be of different
nature related to daily routine of business operations or the business has raised a new
requirement in current process or a new business process has identified resulting Change
Requests (CRs) for instance new business requirement in terms of adding a new
functionality in the system all together or requirement of new report or new printout / output
or the company is expanding into new line of business.
One positive aspect is, since the business has matured processes and the system is
running smoothly; the companies tend to scale upwards by moving into new dimension
products to add value further to their existing systems. You shall be practicing your core
implementation module and along with that the probability of learning new dimensions is
high.
Life at SAP Implementation Project
Let’s try to give you a flavor of the phases or how is life at when implementing SAP, both
from Consultant’s deployed by Implementation Partner or as an SAP Coordinator or SAP
resource deployed at Client end. Following is the Accelerated SAP (called ASAP)
methodology prescribed by SAP to follow to achieve the goal of successful SAP ERP
implementation.
Project Preparation
In this phase, overview sessions on SAP ERP are held to provide an understanding of
specific module(s) and functionalities, how they integrated with each other. It also includes
preparation and finalization of Project Management Office, basic amenities for instance
Projector, meeting rooms, stationary and it also includes identification of Process Experts,
Power Users, End Users which will play a major role in successful SAP ERP
implementation.
Business Blueprint
In this phase, the existing business processes or business functions, i.e. AS-IS of the
company are gained and how the same will be mapped in SAP ERP, i.e. TO-BE is
documented and proposed. In other words, how business process owners will perform their
business operations in SAP ERP system once the SAP is implemented successfully.
Realization
In this phase, the SAP ERP system is configured in accordance with company’s business
processes agreed and signed off during the TO-BE workshops. Several rounds of testing
are also held in this phase where the users test the system and provide their sign offs
confirming that the tested processes are in conformity with the processes agreed during
the business blueprint phase. Testing is carried out based on different business process
scenarios.
Final Preparation
The final SAP ERP system is made available to the business process owners. Before the
user will enter live and actual data, master data, legacy data and cut over numbers are
uploaded in the system. This is a very critical transition stage. Final round of SAP ERP
system testing and end-users training can also take place in this phase.
Go-Live and Support
This is the most critical phase of the project when users are entering live and actual data in
the SAP ERP and occasionally get stuck in the system. Helping users by quickly attending
to any errors or problems encountered ensures that the SAP ERP system runs smoothly.
We hope that this tutorial about SAP for beginners will help newbies in the SAP area to
better understand what is SAP and what are career opportunities associated with it.

I have been certified in FI back in Nov 2014. Since then, my search for a roles in SAP
began, as a fresher. But it is unfortunate that, until now, I haven’t got that opportunity. And I
started to question; am I making the wrong decision and investment by taking this
certification? With MYR22k study loan on my back, I began to feel the pressure.
The companies are most likely to hired those with experiences, even without any
certifications. So, what is the point having a certification if in the real working environment,
it is considered as not so useful?
Cleo Isco 

I also think that SAP certification is much less important that experience and knowledge.
It is a relatively minor factor in getting a job. But don’t worry, I truly believe that you will
find a job very soon! Sometimes it just takes a little bit longer to find the perfect position
for yourself.

this profile.

March 3, 2017 at 1:22 pm
It’s true SAP implemented company never want to take on risk with fresher with no
hands on experience.
Because already there is talks on the community as just a certification in SAP is not
sufficient but hands on experience in particular module and field of implementation
will be preferred and given advantage.
Still struggling take help of your friends or employee in re feral sites working in SAP
to get referred, maximum of the case professional are hiring in SAP goes in
background with reference, ugly truth.
Best of Luck

Hai sir ,
what is the main difference between SAP MM and SAP SCM ? Is it have any similarity ?
According to the current market trend which offers more job offers ?
Cleo Isco 
March 28, 2017 at 11:57 am
SAP MM is part of SAP ERP. SAP SCM is a separate software suit for supply chain
management that is tightly integrated with SAP ERP. SAP SCM offers more advanced
functionalities for managing supply chains of large companies. SAP SCM includes
several business applications – the most popular are SAP APO, SAP TM, SAP EWM.
The market demand is good for specialists in any of these software applications.
