Key Areas to Enhance the SAP Knowledge

The market for Enterprise Resource Management (ERM) systems is currently dominated by one key player – SAP.

ERM manages all data from every department in an organization ranging from office supplies to sensitive client information. SAP has five main areas that an individual will be required to work within the position of a consultant. It is critical to comprehend the various sections of SAP for success at the workplace. 

1) SAP FI (Finance): SAP FI handles all-inclusive financial reporting and accounting

2) SAP CO (Controlling): SAP CO focuses on planning and cost monitoring

3) SAP SD (Sales and Distribution): SAP SD is part of SAP ECC’s Logistics function and integrates with other modules, including Human Resources (HR), Materials Management (MM), Plant Maintenance (PM), Quality Management (QM),  Finance and Controlling (FICO), and Production Planning (PP).

4) SAP HR (Human Resources) and SAP Human Capital Management (HCM): The SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) contains all the processes which are classified into two major scenarios, i.e. Workforce process management and the talent management.

5) SAP PS (Project Systems): The SAP project system is a project management software tool which integrates with pre-existing elements of the SAP enterprise resource planning system. This is a functional module which is on-premise and a component of the SAP ERP system which enables users to funnel resources and funds where it is required and monitor and direct each level of the project to make sure delivery happens within the specified time and budget.

A good grasp of all the modules mentioned above will enable an individual to grasp how SAP is used to implement and enhance operations within an enterprise. As an SAP consultant, knowledge of these modules is critical to succeed in a workplace which is run using SAP tools and processes.

The above are the key areas where you can enhance your knowledge in SAP.
