Is it not possible to be sarcastic and a human being?

[Former Member]

Hi Mathew,

Not sure on that, can you please suggest ?

Then it is a suggestion that lacks any rationale. It also suggests that you have not read the OP's question fully and even failed to provide any serious thought about giving a meaningful answer. Considering that it is someone's future at stake here (although even the OP is at fault here for being so lazy in not doing a proper research), you have no right to give a suggestion that has no sound reason whatsoever.

And as a moderator of this forum, when I see posts like these, I come to the conclusion that you just point-fishing. And I reserve the right to edit your posts!

Arun,

your direction is a correct one. As you have been exposed to ERP and you have worked in this space, SAP MM should be the right choice.  Try learning at configuration level.
Following  links and sub links  in the blog  must sound helpful to you.
Please go through once:

please give me some more guidence

1. Check the difference between Carrier and Career.
2. As it is your career, figure out what you want and how you can get it, then ask people for specific help.  So many people come on here asking for guidance on what module or area of SAP would be good for them and so many more people answer with recommendations.  How can they know?  This is a personal thing, based on your interests, knowledge, experience, goals in life, etc.  If you pick a career path based on some random strangers advice here on SCN I can only guess how that would pan out long term...
3. Search and read as much as you can, firstly on a high level then moving towards detailed content.  Then figure out what you can't understand and ask specific questions, rather than just vague "what should I do" ones.

Good luck,

G.

p.s. This advice is aimed at almost everyone who posts in Career Centre these days

In SAP, it should rather be CARRID...

Hi Arun,

I came into sap field 5 months ago, and I'm still a trainee. To be honest there's a lot to learn out there. I got trained in ABAP module. If you are interested in being a techno-functional sap consultant, I suggest you to start with ABAP because you will undergo major functional aspects of sap working and sap terminology which impact a lot in all other functional modules.

A small piece of advice if you don't take it otherwise. It is not 'CARRIER', but 'CAREER'. You better don't take any chance with your superiors in such mistakes.

I'm curious, what exactly do you want?  Someone to recommend exactly what you should be doing for your career?

Only YOU can decide that - not us!

What are you looking at forum. Suggestion or Answer?

Your question has been answered in the most efficient manner by few members here already. If you still haven't understood it, here's the answer:

YOU decide YOUR career. WE don't make that decision for you.

Deciding your career is not akin to grocery shopping that you can pick something from the aisle after asking other consumers for their opinion.

Once you have decided on what career to jump into then if you have a specific question relating to it, you are free to post it here.

And no, nobody is making fun of you here. You don't seem to understand that SCN members are trying to help you. And instead, you are ready to take offense on their suggestions.

Another important point: We DO NOT provide links too. That is YOUR job to search for links. There are enough search tools on internet that you can utilize.

Hi Arun,

You have a Computer Science degree and you have experience in disciplines like Logistics and Material Management. So, in SAP, you could go in any direction: technical (ABAP, Basis, HANA etc) or functional (MM, Logistics, Sales & Distribution). Follow your heart.

If you decide to go functional, it would probably be best to get some academic qualifications in that specific area. Coupled with your experience, you would then be a strong candidate for a SAP entry job or traineeship.

Probably the hardest thing about SAP is breaking into it in the first place.

But once you're in, it's great 🙂

Good luck !

Dear Sir,

I asked regarding the qualification Am I eligible or i have to do any diploma courses in material Management

And i have experience on logistics, and it will add advantage or not?

There are my Doubts

Regards,

Arun

[paul_bakker2]

Arun,

Just to be clear, anyone can start a career in SAP. No qualifications are required. But that doesn't mean anyone will employ you.

The more experience and academic qualifications you have, the easier it will be to find (and hang onto) that first SAP job.

hopefully all doubts are now dispelled,

Paul

[hasan_ahmed1]

Dear Arun,

Visit this page www.careersatsap.com

You will find courses as per qualification and experience.

If you find any interested one. Go ahead.

Hi Arun,

            Hope everything is good. Well Arun, as mentioned by many above your qualification and skills sets are good enough for you to break into the SAP world. Having additional qualification will only increase your changes and you can sustain for a good amount of time in any organization.

           Hey, even I have lived in Vizag near RK beach (nice place but horrible in summer ) and Vijayawada , Hyderabad and all (presently in Pune).

           Arun, I suggest you do a bit of more research by reading blogs, SAP different sites available on net and after about a week or 2, with a stable mind set break down the options suitable for your line of career. 

All the best Arun.

Regards,

Naren Krishna.
