Respected Members,

I need advice on pursuing SAP MM to progress as a Functional Consultant.

Just to give you the exact proportion of my experience so that your advices are spot on.

Please let me know should I even pursue SAP MM?

Would it be a career Shift?

Or is there another Module?

Looking forward for your advices. Would really appreciate the help and concern.

All I can say is Thank You in advance, but, it is more than that in emotions.

Honestly saying, to become a functional consultant generally you need industries experience.

Otherwise its very tough to get a job for designation Functional consult.

Don't feel bad for my previous sentence. You can start your career by an END user or Super User.

When you get some experience, then you can apply job for Consultant.

And what do you mean by Purchase SAP MM ?

No no, its not about feeling bad. I need to know everything in and out. It might be a career swipe for me.

Its "pursue" not purchase - I meant should I begin training for SAP MM.

From your response Mr. Dev, seems like your acknowledging to the idea that I should start SAP MM.

Could you however evaluate it on the basis of my qualification and experience? Would appreciate it immensely.

As per your experience, I don't think its anything related to SAP or SAP MM ?

SAP MM is under the business process "Procure To Pay" .

Even though, its not related to your current experience, you can learn about SAP MM module.

According to your experience, you can chose any module,,,,,not only MM

But first, depend on it you need has apropriate backround(in accounting, for instance)

To start or not to start - is almost up to you, but be ready, that such process from SAP fresher to consultant - is min a couple of years(If you sucsesfully find fresher job, of cource)
