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 “Financial Accounting” is implemented in SAP through the FI module. This is central module for the whole SAP ERP suite. FI is a common function for all kinds of SAP implementation. This course addresses GL, AR, AP, Banking & FA. It is targeted to FI 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 TFIN 50 & 52 (Solution Consultant on Financial Accounting). After completing it, the participants should moderately learn how to implement SAP to automate financial management processes. A participant would also find it much easier to prepare for and attend SAP exam: SAP Solution Consultant - Financial Accounting.

On the other hand, SAP-conversant business professionals, e.g., finance/sales management officials, are treated with higher priority among their competitors. This course is also planned to highlight user-centric aspects of FI module. The participants should find themselves well-versed with transaction posting & reporting features in FI as well.
