sap 心得（SAP心得） sap 心得(SAP心得) SAP consultant experience Already promised us a little experience to write about what I do SAP consultant, I think of you today a little, the promise is not early to write, lest time forget pen. Want to do this industry is not long, but deeply touched, here to share, I hope to benefit you! The following topics are discussed: 1. a few simple concepts 2. how to become a SAP consultant. 3., how to become a good FICO consultant?. The life status of 4.SAP consultants. 5.FICO consultants at all stages of the task. 6. conclusion I. a few simple concepts: KEY, USER, IT, USER, END, USER 1., KEY, USER: in a SAP project, KEY USER is the customer's business personnel, the key needs to be responsible for the internal charge transfer to consultant in the project, key personnel is also testing system testing phase, for FICO, is usually some of the more senior accounting personnel, financial manager; KEY USER fully understand the SAP front desk operations, is responsible for the operation of END USER training, is a contact between consultants and END USER, collecting and responsible for explaining END to the consultant USER needs. 2., IT USER: is a member of the customer IT department, usually with a good computer base and in the process of implementing the project, from KEY USER obtain business knowledge in related fields of the enterprise, obtain SAP knowledge and skills of relevant modules from consultant, IT USER fully grasp the Taiwan before and after the operation of SAP, responsible for solving technical problems in the process of using SAP, the implementation of the project is the consultant assistant, after the end of the project as internal consultants, carries on the analysis to the new business needs and solutions are given. 3., END, USER: is the ultimate user of enterprise SAP, the general business staff, managers at all levels, etc., as long as the internal SAP users are not KEY, USER, IT USER can be called END USER.END, USER is the initial proponent of customer requirements, the ultimate goal of SAP system planning is to meet their needs, each END in the daily business USER uses only partial operations related to the SAP front, and for FICO, END USER can be divided into general ledger, receivable, payable, assets, cashiers, costs, financial managers, etc. each person usually only has some front desk operations. As can be seen from the above concepts, the most likely SAP advisor is IT USER, followed by KEY USER, followed by END USER, from the statistics of a web site, you can see that FICO consultants each account for half of IT's background and financial background. Two. How to become a SAP consultant?: 1., it can be inferred that the easiest to be a consultant is IT USER, because usually IT USER has some knowledge of SAP's technical knowledge and related business knowledge and project implementation process, so it should be easy to apply for a junior consultant. For some SAP interested in KEY USER, because of a wealth of business knowledge, more understanding of the SAP system front desk business, relatively easy to become a level consultant, END USER is very poor. As END USER, it takes a lot of effort. It would be easier to be a KEY USER first and then a consultant. Many large companies implement SAP, and the turnover of people is very fast, IT, USER and KEY USER flow rate is very high, the new people are very difficult to do the original KEY USER or IT USER, interested in SAP END USER, then you can try. 2. there is no basis, if accepted SAP adviser to the Institute of training and obtained the PA certificate, is also very easy to apply for becoming a consultant; SAP consultant college tuition is extremely high, usually funded enterprise training, can imagine such training behind the breach of agreement will be how strict, and not necessarily after training will get the certificate. There are other training companies to train students, but this training will be better if there is a project internship, but no company can guarantee student internship opportunities, even if there is one, The cost is absolutely high. 3., without any foundation, also did not get any PA certificate, want to be a SAP consultant, can imagine more difficult. What I want to highlight is how to become a SAP consultant in this case After the training of this course, I feel that even if the level of SAP application is worse, if we can pass on what we have done in class, SAP The front desk operation should be no problem, and you don't know much about SAP. You can understand it very well. If you practice a little, then apply for an enterprise KEY USER, Definitely not. Well, you can go directly to some consulting companies and, of course, don't pick top companies. That requires you to have more strength in other areas Today's businesses seem to be in high gear when recruiting KEY USER, but I believe you just have to tell them that you already have a company's KEY USER more than a year experience, and in the interview, they from the front desk operations and SAP concept can not beat you, you become a USER KEY is very likely to do a SAP KEY USER is actually very comfortable, and even a lot of consultants have finally chosen to be the KEY USER. of an enterprise when you become a KEY USER and within the enterprise has been implemented, you will be fully qualified to do the consultant, and the rest is just how you show your understanding of SAP to the consultant you want. For a few students engaged in ABAP, I suggest that you enter the consultant with ABAP consultant, then study in the project and consultant, my company ABAP consultants are in this way into the module consultant, there is, if we can understand and master ABAP SAP service module, such a level of ABAP is also very valuable! There are many ways to become a SAP consultant, but only if you are very eager to develop in this line. We often say, "where there is a will, there is a way." yes, I believe it very much. And I absolutely believe that some of our students will soon be on the consulting board, and you know, the starting point was the same! Three. How to be a good FICO consultant?: FICO consultants are involved in almost all SAP projects and are associated with almost all modules, and personally believe that FICO consultants have great potential for development. One FICO features: PP is almost every project is different, so make up bitter and tired, and FICO almost every project about FI, not so much flexibility, everything should be in accordance with the accounting system to set up the way of operation. CO is flexible, but it is this flexibility that gives the advisor more room to play and the value that customers perceive. There is little debate about FICO, which is always standard, and CO's flexibility is usually more than FI's expectations. 2. as a FICO consultant, the first is the other consultant financial guidance, other modules of business processes related to the financial part of the financial can finally decide, after all, finance is the external demand, it is difficult to change, if the financial impact of a logistics operation does not accord with the accounting system, no doubt to cancel. So a lot of time. Logistics Consultant (PP, MM, SD) proposed new process must seek financial advice, which requires financial advisers to have some understanding of SAP logistics knowledge, 3. as a FICO consultant, just tell the client SAP is not enough, to communicate with the finance manager in the business, some customers sometimes operate on the SAP question, we must to explain from the financial angle of the principle; understand customer needs to have some basic knowledge of financial advisers, in the project, if let the customer feel that consultants do not understand the financial authority, when questioned, the next project will do very hard. 4. from the financial part of the extension of the SEM and EIS, BW is the direction of information systems development, mastered the financial part, You'll have a clearer understanding of the principles and goals of an enterprise's operations. From the above you can know, in order to do a good job of financial advisers, financial knowledge, some common SAP logistics module knowledge must have, so you need to work a lot of yo. All this, but to become a good FICO consultant should have, and to do this, but also the attitude and efforts. We can see only a very proficient SAP consultant of every hue, a module of knowledge and excellent or senior consultant is completely different from how much knowledge please; SAP module, SAP grasp the overall knowledge of the project implementation experience, customer communication skills, enthusiasm and attitude towards work...... If you want to be a good advisor, do well in these areas! Four,.SAP consulting industry life status: One Ready to work hard; whether to eat this hard: consultants high income, but also super hard, Wall Street investment advisers and consultants, motionless on average every day for three or four consecutive days to sleep only three or four hours of work, fortunately, SAP consultants far less hard, in addition to the on-line phase, as usual the thing is to work at eight or nine, but the problem is, you must have heard SAP's broad and profound, the practitioners of its go, especially at this industry, are almost all his spare time are used in the system to practice, do not understand the feeling more addictive, so it is. How difficult it is hard!? Two To bear the enormous pressure: you will certainly experience this link, customer needs a lot, and some of you don't know whether SAP can be realized, can not find help from others, so their tests, they do not understand, but can not tell the client that you don't understand, you have to read a lot of documents. To put in a short time an unfamiliar things into their own very familiar. Three Everything on your own: do not hope the company will give you what help, also don't hope that others will give you what help the main relationships, no one will patiently teach you SAP, you put to other senior consultants should ask for confirmation of the way, for example, you can ask: A.. Can a particular requirement be implemented in the system? Is there any potential risk that B. can implement some function in some way? C. does a certain kind of requirement usually achieve this in a system? D. does not have the relevant documentation (configuration document, operation manual) sent to see? Questions like this make it easy for others to answer questions when you answer them, All time is precious, you need to get some idea of your confirmation information, rather than let him tell you how to do, so you need time to prepare questions in their efforts to thinking and reading some information. And only in this way, your ability will grow very fast, because sometimes, depending on too much, it will form a habit. Four Travel: there are few projects in our city, so travel is a homely food, if it is near the province or provincial projects, every home is not a problem, if it is to fly far area, better be allowed two weeks a free round-trip, many companies or even a month allow a free round-trip. So, you can think about whether this life situation is what you can tolerate. Do you like it, or do you prefer to do so because of high income? Be sure to consider it from your own reality! I have seen some advisers for a wife, divorce, his girlfriend broke up, there are people to take care of elderly parents, in the long-term business unbearable, and to weigh, once that is the state of life, whether they can afford. Five,.FICO consultants at each stage of the task. Generally speaking, no matter what kind of project implementation methodology is adopted, the whole project implementation process is basically the same, I have done some explanation in class, that is, the five stages of project implementation: project preparation, blueprint design, system implementation, on-line preparation, system switching and on-line support. Next I will introduce each stage of the task for FICO: One Project preparation: this stage is generally regarded as a summary of the preparatory work for the project, the project kick-off meeting to mark the end of it, including project planning, project charter, organization structure, staff responsibilities, the project work environment and so on setting, consultants and even not yet fully into the project, usually open the kick-off meeting the consultant, attended to. 2. blueprint design: this phase mainly completes the design of customer's future process. As an FICO consultant, you have to do the following main points: A. concept training: SAP FICO for KEY, USER, and IT USER OVERVIEW training, this training is usually based on the IDES system, the main customer to master the basic concepts of SAP, SAP operation and operation of a basic understanding of the way. B. Investigation of the current situation of the general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, fixed assets, cost plan and survey the status of accounting finance functions, a detailed understanding of the needs of customers, the stage between the consultants to communicate frequently, so we can more fully grasp the needs of customers. C. Blueprint design: comparing the gap between the existing process and the SAP standard process, usually the financial process is more standard, for special needs, special consideration can be. Consultants at this stage have to draw up blueprints documents, and they are also the biggest conflicts between customers and consultants. The key to success is to guide customers' needs, reduce customers' unrealistic expectations of projects and so on. This stage of Junior Consultant, extremely painful, you have to spend a lot of time to spare for a lot of things unknown, let the customer believe you, only fully prepared, which requires a lot of effort. Three System implementation: this stage will be the blueprint for the design involved in the process, implemented in the SAP system, the more technical aspects of the work, which is the system configuration, configuration after the end to internal consultant test, basic process test is no problem for unit testing and integration testing, unit testing process is IT USER and KEY USER have the starting point of the SAP detailed function, functional testing for all business scenarios within the business scope, and the unit test document by KEY USER prepares to record the testing process and results, and this document is also the blueprint for the training manual for the next user training session. At this stage, consultants should focus on solving KEY The various business processes proposed by USER show how to behave in the system, as well as to KEY USER is one of the most important steps in SAP training. After the end of the unit test integration test, integration testing can be performed in 22 modules to solve all kinds of problems, the first small scale integrated encounter, and then integrated in large scale, involving the main scene of the daily operation of enterprises, forecast, sales orders, production planning, procurement, inventory, production, sales from the sale. Receivables and so on business cycle each stage of the operation, query and display documents, transfer documents and so on. This part is mainly composed of KEY USER to carry on; at this stage you are responsible for the matter: A. configure the system and perform internal testing with other module consultants. B. does unit testing with KEY USER and is responsible for solving the problems that arise in the tests C. training KEY, USER and IT USER basic business process operations D. KEY USER conducts integration testing, which is responsible for explaining the queries made by the logistics department and solving the interface problems E. permissions role settings (usually templates, and this template I also gave everyone a copy) Develop and test various bills and forms for F. customer requirements (communicate with ABAP) Three On line preparation: the main work to be done at this stage is the preparation of on-line data and the training of end-users, and the data can be divided into static data and dynamic data, Static data can also be called the main data, such as customers, suppliers, materials and so on, the dynamic data for business generated data, such as customer balance, material stock quantity and so on, the FICO consultants, static data to prepare the general ledger is, customers, suppliers to the control subjects, the bank information, there is the price of the material information, and dynamic data is the balance of various types of accounts, this stage as a consultant to FICO you need to do is: A. provides templates for data preparation to key users responsible for interpreting the meaning of each template field B. check the quality of data preparation C. KEY USER END USER for final training, the consultant is responsible for support D. at this stage, there will still be client specific requirements for configuration, changes, and so on E. system on-line data switching strategy (I've given everyone DATA CONVERSION STRATEGY) 4. system switching and on-line support: at this stage, the data from the original system to the new system import, for the logistics business, material master data must first import the system, and then BOM, ROUNTING has issued orders for goods that have not been received, production orders, sales orders that have not been delivered, etc. for the financial part, the most important thing is to keep the general ledger and subsidiary ledger flat: A. Introduction of on-line time financial data to the new system for inventory ledger account balances, and the value of materials must all the details on the flat, account recorded material cost difference between allowed, general ledger fixed assets and fixed assets to balance the details on the flat, accounts payable in advance pre paid general ledger accounts to suppliers and customers to clear the balance of peace. Usually you can do it with CATT. B. operating cost estimation, from the standard price of biological material produced in the system, so as to reflect the logistics material movement and cost information accurately. C. The operation on the line after the line: to inspect all generated from the logistics business financial documents, so as to ensure the correct integration of logistics and financial business. Once found the wrong operation, the day, the day to solve, especially financial concern is in charge of the warehouse operation, wrong material price, mobile type errors in use, often have a greater impact on the financial, but this type of error must be corrected, if necessary, take some incentive measures. Monthly support after the D. line: usually the SAP system is on-line, the first month of the month requires financial adviser on-site guidance, and some of the business problems exposed at the end of the month to be corrected. Other support after the E. line: about two weeks after the system is on the line, consultants withdraw from the client company, and most of the support later is done by phone, EMAIL, and VPN remote connections. END The USER problem is passed to KEY USER and IT USER, IT USER, as an in-house consultant, will gradually replace the role of FICO consultants, who pass their own problems that cannot be solved to consultants, and consultants can not solve the problem of sending MESSAGE to SAP, Asking for global support from SAP is such a help chain that guarantees the normal operation of the SAP system. Six.
