Hi,\n\nAs you know that SAP R/3 or Netweaver ABAP system has many modules. One of them is FI/CO it stands for Finance and Controlling.\n\nThe others are SD (sales & distribution), MM (Materials Management) and so on.\n\nBW is Business Warehouse system, which is different than conventional ABAP system.\n\nThe R3 system has all business transactions e.g. sales order, purchase orders, sales, materal purchases ... All these business data is sent to the BW system... The BW then can be configured to prepare different kind of analysis reports for the higher management to see the business growth and current financial status etc.\n\nORACLE is dying by putting hands on various business capturing and trying to grow in a totally unknown areas. They were/are doing very good with the database, but now loosing control over the market.\n\nSo my choice would be SAP for future.\n\nThanks\nYatin Bhatt

SAP is a customizable ERP system, (Enterprise Resource Planning).  It has modules for all the processes that a business might need to perform in order to operate.  The intent, often unrealized, is that an ERP system consolidates all computer processes into one system for better standardization and roll up reporting.\nOracle ERP system is a major competitor.

Hi Johny,\n\nSAP is an ERP package having different modules which has been intergrated internally. Based on company structure they maintain different servers for their respective modules.\n\nWhile learning SAP you can choose either as a Functional consultant or a programmer [ABAP], a functional consultant involves less in code and more in defining/ customizing/ modelling according to the company structure.\n\nSince you know CRM concept i think it doesn't take much time for you to get into that, i suggest you to get trained as a functional consultant. make sure to get the full domain knowledge before you apply for the jobs.

I work for SAP. The best place to go is via the SAP Community microsite, accesed on our corporate website   www.sap.com . Fully log in via the three level information gathering to get into application support areas.\n\nI won't be as comprehensive as a paid-for course, but it may give you what you need. \n\nGood luck.

SAP ? I understand that you should be having volumnous data and many modules of control.\n\nSAP can handle from planning, finance, production, accounting, budgeting, costing and the list goes on. And the best thing is all these functions act on an integrated platform. They interchange data between modules. \n\nHope you got the point. You can contact me on my mail id.

Hi Deep,\n\nIf you are working on SAP and that too in ABAP, but still not finding it interesting then I think you should look for a change of job in a good company who really uses SAP in their business.\n\nIf you still want to be in JAVA, then work on SAP Netweaver product suite which gives you exposure on ABAP+JAVA coding in Web Dynpros and BSP applications.\n\nHope it makes things some what easy for you.\n\nRegards,\nYatin

If you are a textile engineer and has interest in the workflow and business of the industry then SAP is a very good thing to study. SAP has a very good footing within ERP databases and I doubt whether there would be a good competitor to SAP in many modules in recent future. Oracle ERP is trying hard to rach there but as of now there are far behind. One good thing is if you know SAP, two years down the line you can learn other ERP products making your skill set wider. Hence if you continue to study I do not see a problem.\n\nAlso read my earlier reply to the same question:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AiTH8s2_B9ftgVKV__ZQfqQezKIX?qid=1006053114822

Hi\n\nComing to your question, if you could have browse regarding this question before posting, definitely you could have come out of the solution.\n\nOK let me define once again, SAP is a predefined ERP package where we implement that in real time business scenario based on company requirements. As you might have aware that every organization has different departments like Sales, Warehouse, HR, Financial etc.. depends on their individual complexes SAP has externally maintain those as individual modules but are connected with in inter related links. If you are good in real time business document flow then it won't take much time for you to learn, as a developer it not a must to get deep knowledge in all of those modules, just try to explore how it links with each other. As a functional consultant where coding part is negligible you have to concentrate on particular module. \n\nSince most of the MNC's are already implementing SAP [still growing] i hope we have a good prospects in future too. \n\nAbout learning.. it depends on your willingness. Normally it won't take more than 3 months as a beginner.
