For Professional level certification aspirants in SAP Controlling module

[Former Member]

Dear all Professional level Certification aspirants in SAP CO module,

I have recently passed the Certification test on SAP Management Accounting (CO) module in version ERP 6.0 EHP4. I have more than 4 years experience in SAP Controlling module.The following are some of my suggestions regarding preparation for the exam.

1. All the questions were scenario based. The exam tests expert level knowledge and real time scenarios in the module. The theoritical knowledge is not sufficient to clear the exam. Unless you have atleast 5 to 6 implementations in Controlling module, it is not advisable to give it a try.

2. Detailed knowledge of the system configuration settings about the various courses mentioned in the syllabus is required. One needs a clear understanding of Special costing functions, ERP integration, Transfer Pricing, Material ledger, New GL Parallel valuation, Planning and Budgeting fuctions in various components etc.

3. The exam tests in-depth knowledge about various integration aspects of Controlling module with other modules. The advanced master data functionalities of other logistical modules like MM, SD, PP, PM, QM, PS, CS, HCM is tested in detail.

4. Several methods of process and performance optimization of the system are also tested.

3. Some reporting aspects of BW and BI are also tested. The cross application aspects of the system are also tested.

4. The exam also tests the real time skills in preparing Blueprints, Business Process design and trouble shooting the system. Being knowledgeable about some of the processing errors and message classes will be of great help.

Hope this information helps you in preparing for the certification.

Should you need any clarifications, please post a reply to this thread and I will post answers.

All the Best!!

Hi Vikrant,

the pass mark for the exam is 58%. However it may be different. The passing mark shown on your screen on the day will be the correct passing mark.

All the questions were scenario based which would involve high analytical skills and through understanding of the system integration. It would be difficult to tell any specific question. The questions carry different weightage. If you answer the questions with less weightage correctly than the questions with more weightage, you end up scoring less though you answer more number of questions correctly. and it is vice versa. Go through your syllabus and cources and try to concentrate on the topic areas which contain more weightage.

Moreover, the exam is not completely technical in nature. It tests a lot of analytical and problem solving skills required on the job.

Note:Please do not ask the questions or contents of the exam as they are confidential.

Hope this information helps you.

All the best for your exam!
