Hello,

Does anyone have any idea on what mySAP, SAP R/3 and SAP Business One are? I mean like their differences?

Any kinda of feedback are much appreciated!

www.sap.com doesn't tell you?

i am using SAP R/3...
hmmm

Same here, anywhere I can get good SAP books on BASIS?

Hmmm....Found out that SAP Business One is actually a compact ERP solutions for the Small and Medium Size companies. SAP R/3 is for the much bigger companies (like having lots of branches/users around the world).

Anyone have any idea on mySAP?

Is there a local market for SAP Business One? I understand that it is a new product.

i have ABAP books.. TAW10 n TAW12.. can borrow if anyone wans to have a look at it..

i also have miniSAP..

can photocopy them ?

izzit all SAP financial module is called SAP FICO?
my company's SAP is a modified version to fit our industry needs.
The SAP called "SAP 4.6c". Wat that is means?
I also notice the bottom window mention SAP R/3? This is the most basic, rite?

tunasandwich : if ur willing to pay for it. why not?

alternative way, You can actually d.l the PDF versions n slowly convert them using babbel fish. >.< cuz they are all in german.

reno_raird : i do know the SAP financial is SAP FI but FICO.. im not sure. Correct me if im wrong, cuz i only too ABAP.

SAP R/3 is the latest in the market SAP software. but i think there is latest release coming up soon, mySAP.com. Im not too sure also. Havent keep in update with SAP since i graduated.

FICO is the short form of Finance and Controlling which is part of the Financials Module of the R/3 system. Other components are Accounting - General (AC), Treasury (TR),
Investment Management (IM), Project System (PS), Enterprise Controlling (EC), and Real Estate Management.

The SAP 4.6c is a subrelease of a version. On which system in SAP are you familiar with?

Find out more here.

R/3 is mainly a huge system of SAP running on the R/3 BASIS middleware. Above the middleware you would have the R/3 application layer as well as the ABAP/4 development layer.

how much did u bought the books ginger ?

didnt buy em.. i went for the certication.

wow...self certified ?

u ppl are rich

which module ?

sunway college offered the certification at student cost.
took ABAP.
rich? i wish.

GiNgEr^fIsH,

Have you got a job that's making use of your ABAP skills?

I thought the latest one was SAP netWeaver?

FICO is financial controller or financial control... not sure

R/3 is the old version of the SAP ERP... the "R" stands for realtime data processing and the number 3 relates to a three-tier application architecture: database, application server and client (SAPgui)...

it;s predecessor was R/2...

they're build with ABAP (the programming language)... and ABAP is acutally build with C/C++ i think....

net weaver is the new SAP platform for easier integration with current technology where resources are abundant in the market, for example Java....

i've heard rumours saying SAP might just use Java on all the new products...

it's SAP strategy to target on the SME's... with scaled-down products like SAP Business One and mySAP All-in-One...

cheaper mar hire java programmers and functional consultants.... compare to hire functional consultants that know ABAP programming... i think so la...

check out their website and wikipedia - your free encyclopedia !!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_(company)

mySAP from what i know is something like online HR
that means you may take leave via a web browser and it will be updated to SAP and other services etc etc etc depending on configs

SAP NetWeaver is latest SAP product to sit on existing apps and integrate them to run as one
eg SAP (on Oracle/DB2) as DB, other data on DB2 and reporting server will be integrated by NetWeaver and used like a single app

im in the HR business so im giving examples as per what i know

HR?? I'm getting to know you better day by day

C'mon man, answer the freaking question!!! I wanna know the answer too!

Couldnt get a job in the SAP field.
I didnt pass the certification. Got 68% and i didnt bother retaking.

guys..
my co just started to use SAP.. still in testing progress.. i would like to know about SAP, so where can i get the information of it? and where do i start? is there any sites for beginner? cause i am still blur blur on what is SAP and how does it work...
currently i am assigned to do the AP & AR and Authorization in SAP.. so where can i find the resources?

thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that bro...

Wow, you got 68% and thats not considered passing?
Passing mark is that high huh?

Hmm

The passing mark is somewhere between 70 to 75 if I'm not mistaken.

Your company will need to send you to SAP education center for training or get any freelancer on AP & AR to train you guys.

Be patient, when the time comes you will know what is SAP.

Its 70. less 1 also u get fail but from what i heard u can appeal for a free resit from axon thru your trainer.

What's the job prospect like for someone who took the SAP course independently as opposed to being sent for trainning, as per the norm?

you will still be hired by SAP Consulting company ...
you will ahead then many others because you are certified although no project experiences

Are you sure about this? If this is really true, then the fastest route to riches in IT would be SPM > 4 year degree > SAP cert, which would mean that you could be a junior consultant by the age of 21! So with the average degree costing 30k, and the SAP course costing 20k, you have a total investment of 50k, which, according to you lot, should be gained within a year when you're earning 5k a month.

Please tell me this isn't true.

guys.. just want to ask, where can i get the SAP course in malaysia? how much is the course and how long is the duration? is it after i pass the exam, then i can consider as a qualified SAP consultant?

I am also interested in it.

Does this mean to say if I do not pass, I will not be able to get a job which makes use of my ABAP skills?

To be honest, I am currently working on a project based on SAP and most of the senior people here are not certified but they have vast experience with it.

maybe i should apply at mavik's company.

Meaning to say it doesn't really matter?
Curious to know if the certification really helps.

If you have certificate, you will receive calls from agent whether you have experience or not.

If you don't have certificate, agent will call you if you have experience.

There are people without SAP experience and pass the exam.

certificate is just a form of recognition....
i think wat's more important is the experience.....

My ex-colleague took the course in 2004.
The course fee is RM25k. 5 week duration.
Exam on the last day. Results known immediately after the exam.

You can contact SAP Malaysia for more information.

ppl w/o IT background can study oso?

If what you say is true, then why don't more people do what I said in post #31?

I have no experience is SAP whatsoever and my background is in engineering and majoring in hardware but still I am on a SAP project.

I guess it just depends on your personality at first. Still considering whether to take the certification though. My team lead has encouraged me to do it though even though he doesn't have it himself

No Comment.

Inferno: u also know tat 4 yrs degree cost 30k
but for sap cert it cost 25k-30k for only 5 weeks, many ppl will say too expensive, even for myself, if i din get the offer from mmu and mdc i also wont go and take the SAP ABAP......

i'm engineering b/g oso
thinking switch 2 IT

u do self study or company send u2 SAP?

I guess it's good that it's expensive, otherwise everyone will have one, just like a MCSE.

Self study. I have a 700 page book sitting next to me for reference...

I also waiting an answer for this...

I am not too sure whether there is a local market for it. But if there is a business need for it, there will surely be a local market for it. It is meant for mid-sized enterprises and businesses (SME) and the government is pushing for more SMEs around. Although from an Asian mentality, investing in SAP is actually looking towards the future thus it may take some time to adapt it. But once it kicks off, I am sure more and more SMEs will start going towards an integrated platform.

To be honest most of the courses for the Malaysia schedule has not been confirmed. Best if you look at the Singapore schedule instead. The same address but change the MY into SG in the address.
