About Workshop
SAP is known as the best ERP software available in the market. About 75% of the ERP market is under the control of SAP. About 20,000 companies use this software. The business area Order Fulfillment is implemented in SAP through the Sales & Distribution module. This is a very big module covering the sales, shipping/distribution & billing processes as broad heads. Many significant functions of Logistics are covered by this module as well. The sales and distribution processes are so extensively addressed in this module that almost any business entity can be addressed for automation in the SD functional areas. This course is targeted to SD knowledge & skill at the mid-level.
How participants will benefit after the course
First of all, you would hardly find an SAP implementation expert – a solution consultant. Now, think again the vast rollout of SAP. The opportunity clearly lies in the shortage of SAP experts. Acquiring skills on SAP is not a matter of clicking and typing; it is the skill of translating & transforming the business processes into an automatable process flow supported by SAP. It requires a clear understanding of business processes and technology; then a sense of fusion. As a result, SAP solution consultants are observed to be amongst the highest-paid professionals. This course is designed based on SAP certification courses TSCM 60 & 62 (Solution Consultant on Order Fulfillment). After completing it, the participants should moderately learn how to implement SAP to automate sales & distribution processes. A participant would also find it much easier to prepare for and attend SAP exam: SAP Solution Consultant - Order Fulfillment.
On the other hand, SAP-conversant business professionals, e.g., finance, sales, logistics, procurement, production planning/ management officials, are treated with higher priority among their competitors. This course is also planned to highlight user-centric aspects of SD module. The participants should find themselves well-versed with transaction posting & reporting features in SD as well.
