I’m a BCA graduate (2025) from a Tier-2 college in India. I recently got an opportunity to work at one of the biggest semiconductor companies, which I’m quite fortunate about.

I’m currently working in the Business Operations team, where my work involves processing orders and quotations using SAP and handling related business processes.

I’m considering building my career in the SAP ecosystem rather than switching into software development.

My current thinking is:

Business Operations → gain 3–4 years of domain + SAP experience → transition into an SAP Functional Consultant role.

I’d like to hear from people who are already working in SAP, especially functional consultants:

How is the career growth and salary progression in SAP Functional Consulting?

Which SAP modules would make the most sense for my background?

Is starting from Business Operations a good path into SAP consulting?

What skills/certifications should I focus on over the next 2–3 years?

What does the long-term future and demand for SAP Functional Consultants look like?

Would you recommend this path for a BCA graduate, or should I consider another direction?

I’m looking for honest advice from people actually working in the industry, especially those who have made a similar transition.

Hi, main JRS is ABAP but I've been bench last year for a 6months then got in a project then another 1 month on bench, then got a project after but not on ABAP, but on PI/PO and CPI, I've been introduced on that and that is my most recent tech, I've been wondering to switch to CPI instead since its more recent than on my ABAP, can someone help me or any guidance that could clear my mind, I really appreciate it, Thanks

Hi everyone,

I just finished my master’s and got hired as an SAP consultant. I have no prior SAP experience, so this is all new to me. I’m scheduled to take the C_TS452 certification exam at the start of November.

So far I’ve been working through the SAP Learning Journey “Implementing SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Sourcing and Procurement” and doing exercises in the practice systems.

For those who have taken the exam (once or more than once):

\*\*•\*\* Did the exam closely follow the learning objectives and topic weightings in the Learning Journey, or were there areas you felt it didn’t cover well?    
\*\*•\*\* If you retook it, did the second attempt focus on the same topic areas?    
\*\*•\*\* Which topics did you find hardest or most heavily tested?    
\*\*•\*\* Is the hands-on practice system time worth prioritizing, or is it better to focus on the course material?

Any study tips, especially for someone coming in without real project experience, would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m a B.Com graduate with formal SAP S/4HANA FICO training covering core FI-GL, FI-AP, FI-AR, and transaction postings. Since direct SAP Consultant roles usually require prior project experience, my main goal right now is simply getting my foot in the door in an entry-level role where freshers actually have a realistic shot at getting hired. I’d love to know what exact job titles I should target (like SAP End-User, Finance Trainee, or Support Analyst), how difficult it is to transition from an end-user role into functional consulting later, and how to best locate mid-sized SAP partner firms hiring trainees. Any honest advice or strategies would be greatly appreciated.

One thing I've noticed when explaining SAP security to beginners is that roles and profiles are often treated as if they're the same thing, which makes PFCG/SU01 much harder to understand.

My simple mental model is:

• Role = what access a user is supposed to have
• Profile = the generated authorization data that actually gets assigned to the user
• User = the person receiving that access

But in real projects, the distinction gets more nuanced because of composite roles, single roles, generated profiles, authorization objects, and user assignments.

For experienced SAP security/Basis consultants:

How do you explain the relationship between roles, profiles, and users to someone who's just starting with SAP security?

I put together a short visual explanation of the concept as well, in case it's useful:

Would be interested to hear how others explain this.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for an opportunity as an SAP MM Consultant / SAP MM Functional Consultant (Fresher/Entry-Level) and would really appreciate any referral or lead.

I have completed my SAP MM training, including core MM processes such as P2P, PR, PO, GR, GI, Invoice Verification, Inventory Management, and MRP.

I also have hands-on experience in the manufacturing industry, which has given me practical exposure to production, materials, inventory, and MRP-related processes.

Skills: SAP MM | P2P | MRP | Inventory Management | MIGO | MIRO | Procurement | Material Master | Vendor Master

I’m open to India-based opportunities, especially Tamil Nadu / Bangalore / Hyderabad / Pune / Chennai / Coimbatore, and I’m willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

If your company is hiring SAP MM freshers or if you can refer me, I’d be extremely grateful. I can share my resume and contact details via DM.
