Since you already have warehouse experience, it would be ideal if you start doing course on SAP WM. Search here for more information.

Hi - in my experience, many companies who run MM do not always run warehouse management - so it depends on the company. Certification (in my opinion) always helps in my view, as it forces you to learn the module.

I recommend going to training.sap.com, signing up for the Learning Hub (Discovery Edition is free) - and check the SAP Learning Journeys to help provide a suggested learning map
