How to start a career in SAP TM

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am looking for your advice on learning SAP TM. I do have experience on Logistics more than 5 years as I was working in 3PL company in Dot net platform. I want to get into SAP TM (functional consultant). I would like to know what are the things I should know (SAP ECC, SAP LE,...) before SAP TM.  Could any one please advice me where to start?

Thanks,

SJ

Hello Ksaran K,

I completely agree with Eduardo Chagas but I have added some points below.

1. You should be familar with sap SD and have some coding knowledge of ABAP.
2. Why SAP SD?

                 Because TM is a stand alone system as well as integrated with SAP R/3. If you will know SD then you will get some idea about how business prosesses are implemented in sap, some basic concept which required in SAP TM.There is some intergration requred to connect Tm and ECC for shipper scenario.You can find some good documents, threads where experts have given their views and solutions.You can watch some videos from you tube which will give idea to your sap knowledge.

3? Why ABAP?.

  To be a good Functional owner it will better to have some abap knowledge. I feel advance process areas like TM and EWM, there is alittle boundary between technical and functional role.If you know abap then in some cases you can check your own whether your thought/design will work fine or not.
