Hi,

If a person wants to become a BCS consultant, what all pre-requisites should that person be having in order to become one. Pre-requisites in BW,FI and all.

How many years of experience in BW( and areas) and also in FI.

Will it be good to have a FI Consultant in a BCS project?

Regards,

Sam

Hi SAM,

IMHO, to be a good BCS consultant you'd better have accounting experience (or at least pass some accounting courses. ACCA-DipIFR is the best). It's the main prerequisite for a good BCS consultant -- to talk with accountants/finance people their language.

The BW knowledge is a HUGE plus. Having it, you'll be able to make the whole BCS project alone (certainly, if it is needed). And it's much easier to make decision about the BW layer of BCS project - I mean data preparation and loading, different staging schemes, especially for reading from datastream methods. Plus a good understanding of BEx queries creation. First, you control the reports design the client wants. Second, you may create queries that help you in testing of your system configuration.

FI/CO knowledge is certainly a plus. But IMHO it's not equivalent the accounting experience or knowledge (the latter is preferrable).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Both the links are on Process Chains.

And I am not looking at any material right now as I am looking at the kind of experience that is required to get into BCS.

Sam.
