actually there's quite a few events.

First, there's a SAP Partner event organized in 5 star hotels with yummy delicious food and only those in SAP Ecosystem and Partners can go.

Secondly, there's SAP Sapphire event often held in some other country except Malaysia.

Thirdly, there's SAP Summit event often held every July of the year. (i think la.. coz few yrs back time aso july) and they serve awesome yummy mushroom soup and sm0ked salmon.

Fourthly, there's SAP TechEd is where all the pros meet and discuss the challenges and direction of the software and the latest trend, etc.

Fifthly, SAP Tour... i dapat email from SAP on this b4 but dunno apa itu.. i think roadshow.

Lastly, SAP Insider. tarak tau apa ini coz get from email.

All these events updates i get from SAP FLASH email. I dunno how i was subscribed to SAP Business Flash (i think it was when they sent me the MarketPlace OSS ID) or it was when i register SAP SDN.

SAP got its own Community @ SDN -> http://sdn.sap.com . It has its own Forum and Newsletter and Blogs. Go sign up and see what u guys can benefit from there la. The 'spam' mails they sent are quite useful la.. got events la, latest insights la, tips la, etc.

As quoted by my previous trainer,

Having common sense for processes and $$ [ ((online)RM 12k or (trainer)RM 32k) + RM 1.8k(exam fees) ]..

good understanding in accounting is great advantage, but i found those from IT background with basic accounting skill can catch up very fast in SAP FICO.

Research on general overview of FICO and its organization structure from company code to posting GL account would be a great start.

Thanks alot for the information. I've got a couple of light IT background such as CCNA, C++, and Visual Basic Programming from self interest.

Are there any specific things I should have knowledge of for SAP FICO?

It is not easy to get in straight away, but they are some companies that hiring fresh as support level and junior abaper. Most obivious is Axon ABAP boot camp, they are some people willing to have paycut just to work in SAP industry for future better prospect.

I have worked in several multi national companies before and most of their SAP support are being hired internally(their end-user who have work with the companies for long time and transferred as SAP support)

Added on August 29, 2010, 9:57 pmGood understanding in database development and relationship is great advantage, since you gonna deal with a lot of configuration i.e the inter-related configuration of company codes, cost/profit center,vendors,customers,GL accounts, currency, exchange-rate,posting keys,document types etc, you need to find out where all these are being stored in SAP tables and what are the keys and make them inter-related.

You also need to have good ideas in business processs to provide solutions to your clients/customers. If you have past programming background is a plus. With good understanding with SAP FICO tables,business process and good logic thinking will certainly help you to develop functional specfication/requirements for ABAPER to develop.

You need to be brave to explore all the functionality/configurations to success in this area, i have friends you have done this and now they earn 5 figure income and experience work in so many multi-national companies in a young age. But becareful when you trail and error always consult with your superior/seniors, simple configuration changes could affect the operation in production server, I also have friend who have done this and have to take the responsibility of resigning from the company because the affected operation caused losses to the company

Thanks alot so much for your information! This is by far the best explanation I've gotten regarding this matter.

I'm currently studying accounting, but i feel my interest really lies in the IT side, more specifically programming, I seem to excel in that part.

Someone recommended that I take up a SAP FICO since I seem to fit into that description. So here I am, seeking help from experienced professionals.

Hi..you can try do MDEC Sponsored program to learn SAP. Modules are FI,CO,MM,SD,HR and ABAP.
Its computer based learning and not tutor based learning.
U can search in google for the information.

for those who wants to get into SAP, would it help if we take the official training course from SAP education partners? would it guarantee us a SAP position, even though we dont have project experience?

which SAP education partner that is providing good training? i read somewhere that knowledgecom is not recommended. any comments about other education partners?

you can refer to the first post in this thread.
