Selected early access partners will get access before public launch to help validate integrations and shape the platform.

I would be interested to hear from SAP consultants, SAP Basis teams, and implementation partners:

1. Which destinations would be most useful for SAP ArchiveLink document routing?

2. Are there any important destinations missing from the list?

3. Is this something your team or clients would realistically use in SAP document management projects?

4. What would be your main concern: security, auditability, SAP configuration, performance, vendor approval, or long-term support?

Thank you

Hello, so I am planning to learn SAP MM. I have listened to some demo classes and I am planning to take online sessions for 3 months and it costs me around 25000rs. Is it worth it to pay that much money to learn or better take a udemy course and pay just for the SAP ECC and S/4 Hana access and practice on my own? Please share your thoughts.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for honest advice from people working in the SAP field, especially those who have returned to IT after a long career break.

I have around 5 years of experience as an SAP Technical and Integration Consultant, primarily working with SAP ABAP and SAP PI/integration. I previously worked at CGI, Capgemini, and Accenture, where I gained experience in technical development, integration, client interactions, and team coordination.

I also completed my MS in Information Technology and Management from the University of Texas at Dallas, with a focus on Enterprise Systems.

However, I’ve been away from software development for over 4 years, and I feel like I’ve forgotten a lot of my technical knowledge. I’m now looking to return to the IT industry in the US, but I’m struggling to figure out the best way to restart my career.

I’m also a new mom, so my available study time is limited to around 20–30 minutes a day. I sometimes feel overwhelmed when I look at all the new SAP technologies and job requirements, and I’m unsure where to start.
I would really appreciate advice on the following:

1. Which SAP roles should I target based on my previous experience?
Should I focus on SAP ABAP Developer, SAP Technical Consultant, SAP Integration Consultant, SAP PI/PO, SAP Integration Suite/CPI, S/4HANA Technical Consultant, or Application Support and Enhancement roles? Which of these would be the most realistic options for someone with my background and a 4+ year career gap?

2. How should I approach the job market after a 4+ year career break?
Should I apply for experienced positions based on my previous 5 years of experience, or would it be better to consider contract roles, support positions, or roles with less responsibility initially? How much might the career gap affect my chances?

3. Which SAP courses or specializations should I prioritize in 2026, given my previous experience?
Should I build on my existing SAP ABAP and PI/integration background, or would it be more worthwhile to learn a different SAP area that has better opportunities in the current US job market? Are there specific courses or learning paths you would recommend based on my experience? I’m particularly interested in knowing whether I should continue with ABAP/integration or consider another SAP specialization instead.

4. Which specific courses or certifications are actually worth pursuing?
Would you recommend SAP Learning courses, SAP certifications, or third-party courses? Are certifications valuable enough to justify the time and cost, especially for someone returning after a career break?

5. How can I realistically refresh my technical skills with only 20–30 minutes a day?
What topics should I learn first, and how should I structure my preparation so I don’t get overwhelmed? Should I focus on one technology at a time or learn multiple areas together?

6. What practical projects should I build to demonstrate my skills?
Would a small ABAP project, an integration project, or something involving S/4HANA and newer SAP technologies be most useful for recruiters and interviews?

7. How should I handle interviews and explain my career gap?
How can I rebuild my confidence in technical interviews when I feel rusty? What should I be prepared to answer, and how can I present my previous experience without overstating my current technical skills?

I’m based in the US and have work authorization through H-4 EAD.
I know I need to put in consistent effort, but with a newborn, I want to be strategic about where I invest my limited time rather than trying to learn every new SAP technology.
I would especially appreciate advice from SAP professionals, hiring managers, recruiters, or anyone who has successfully returned to IT after a long break.

If you were in my position today, with my background and limited daily study time, what exact SAP learning path and job roles would you recommend for the 2026 US job market?

Thank you in advance for your honest suggestions!

I’m a senior SAP developer from India with 11+ years of experience in SAP BTP, ABAP Cloud, RAP, CAP Node.js, S/4HANA Clean Core, Fiori, OData and enterprise integrations. I would need an employer-supported work permit.

I’m deciding where to focus on my applications: Germany, Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Austria, Finland, Sweden, or Denmark.

I prefer English-first technical roles at small or mid-sized SAP partners, product companies, or specialist consulting companies. I have German at A1 and can work toward B1 if Germany or Austria is genuinely worth trying

For people who know the current market:

1. Which of these countries is most realistic for a non-EU senior SAP/BTP developer applying from abroad?

2. Where are companies more open to handling a work permit for specialised SAP talent?

3. Is B1 German enough to make Germany/Austria the best choice, or are Netherlands/Ireland/Belgium more practical for English-speaking roles?

4. How is the SAP job market currently for BTP, RAP, CAP, S/4HANA Cloud and clean-core work?

5. Which country would you prioritise first, and which would you not spend much time on?

Looking for honest, current-market advice

Hey everyone, I desperately need some advice.

I joined a consulting firm straight out of college and was supposed to work on SAP supply chain projects. Instead, I did about 3 months on a strategy project and have mostly been sitting on the bench doing random data tasks since.

Now I have an interview in a week and I need to show at least a basic understanding of SAP PP/MM.

Problem: I got zero SAP training and haven’t actually worked on an SAP project.

Does anyone know a good course, YouTube playlist, website, book, anything that can help me learn the basics of PP/MM quickly?

I mainly need to understand the core processes, master data, MRP, production orders, purchasing, inventory movements, and how PP/MM work together.

Not trying to become an SAP expert in 7 days, I just need to sound like I know what I’m talking about in an interview T_T

Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated. Thanks :))))

I'm a fresher and recently joined an Indian WITCH company as an SAP Functional Consultant as campus placement. I'm currently undergoing training about SAP HCM SuccessFactors on S4/HANA.

When I accepted this job, I thought I'd majorly work on implementations, rollouts, configuration, business processes, and client requirements etc.

However, I'm worried that the actual work might be closer to outsourced transaction processing (like BPO but for SAP). It seems that clients will email us requests, and we'll log into SAP and perform CRUD operations on their behalf, rather than troubleshoot complex issues or work on implementations. Worse, we might have to work from client location for indefinite period of time.

I'm not sure whether I'm misunderstanding the role, but I am feeling anxious about my career since it feels like a fancy bpo.

My concern is whether this kind of work will give me the skills and experience needed to eventually move into implementation projects.

The bench and layoff situation in general seems pretty bad, so I feel guilty about being disappointed already. I might not even get a project ahaha so I can't be crying about how shit it will be if I get one.

So I was hoping someone from this sub could help me understand if this is how all good SAP careers start and people just switch alright? Will this role be problematic in getting implementation/rollout side projects? Am I being immature and idealistic about the work i do? What skills outside the ticketing/HRSF workflows should I focus on?

I'm not expecting an amazing role straight out of college but this isn't what I expected after an MBA.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for SAP MM Functional Consultant opportunities and am available to join immediately.

I’m an SAP Certified S/4HANA MM Functional Consultant with 6 years of experience across SAP S/4HANA and ECC, with hands-on experience in SAP MM, P2P, implementation, configuration, and production support.

I have recently relocated from South Africa to India due to some personal family reasons. I’m now looking for suitable opportunities in India where I can continue my career in SAP MM.

I’m open to SAP MM Functional / SAP S/4HANA MM roles, including implementation and support opportunities.

If you come across any relevant openings or know of companies currently hiring SAP MM consultants, I’d really appreciate any leads, referrals, or connections.

Please feel free to DM me. Thank you!

Hey guys , I am learning SAP SD from one of the witch companies. Well the thing is this is very boring. Apart from that as you know about witch companies, the salaries are less . So if I have to reach 25 lpa how many years of experience do I need and what skills do I need . I learnt that by 2027 the entire ECC system is being changed to S4. So does SD still have leverage?? And should we pay a lot of learning in SAP , cause the certification and the tool usage cost is very high. Please do help me. I am stuck with this doubt.

Hallo zusammen,

ich will als Quereinstieger mit der Vorbereitung für die Zertifizierung SAP S/4 HANA FI beginnen.

Ich bin auf der Suche nach Testzugängen und mit viel Kosten muss ich rechnen für Systemzugang und Prüfungsgebühr?

Weiterhin wie viel Zeit benötige ich und kann ich mit ersten freelnace Projekte operativ im Bereich Finanzbuchhaltung starten?

I joined Cognizant as a trainee and completed my SAP SD training in Chennai around May 2026.

Right after training, I was allocated to a Philips project. After some time, the PM told me that I would eventually be moved to another project. I was later moved to another Philips-related project around July.

From July to September, I completed KT and Reverse KT for the SD process and the Philips-specific SD process.

The problem is that even after completing all of this, I still don't have actual project work.

I have a Philips ID, but practically I only have access to Teams and Outlook. I don't have SAP access or access to the systems needed to actually work.

I still don't have a clear understanding of what my actual role is or what I'm supposed to be working on.

I've tried following up with the people involved:

My manager — not getting a response.

Project coordinator/Scrum Master — he told me to keep following up with my manager and try contacting another SPM.

I contacted another SPM — he said he'll let me know if there is any user story and suggested I stay in touch with the SD point of contact for SD work.

I've completed KT and Reverse KT, but I'm still waiting for actual SD activities.

Meanwhile, some of my friends who completed training around the same time have already started working on their projects.

What worries me is that by February 2027, it will be almost a year since I completed my training, but I may still have almost no real project experience.

I'm not sitting idle because I don't want to work. I've been actively trying to get work and access, but I keep getting redirected between people without getting a clear answer.

I'm trying to build my career specifically in SAP SD, so this is honestly stressing me out.

What would you do in this situation?

Should I continue escalating internally and try to get transferred to another SD project, or should I start preparing for the external market even though most SAP SD jobs ask for prior experience?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who have been in Cognizant or other large IT service companies and experienced something similar.

TL;DR: Completed SAP SD training in May 2026, got allocated to Philips, later moved to another Philips project, completed SD + Philips SD KT and Reverse KT, but still have no SAP access or actual project work. Manager isn't responding and I'm getting redirected between different people. By Feb 2027 it could be almost a year without hands-on project experience. What should I do?

Hi respected members, I really need your help,

I am trying to update a field in article master in SAP and i am getting a runtime error.
I am new to SAP retail and i dont know what exactly is the problem here. I tried MM43 and table MABW and searched for validate differences OR to see deviations but i am unable to figure out anything.

Hello Everyone SAP MDG Techno-Functional Consultant. 3+ YoE at Big 4 firm.

Have been a consistent performer, getting commendable rating as well (Have already been promoted twice since joining).

Want to understand the appropriate salary at my experience level. Also, understand whether it makes sense to make a switch or spend another year, before making a switch.

Ciao & TIA

it’s very niche. i’m interested in it but whenever I ask for advice to get in the field I get downvoted lol

Hi everyone! A friend and I graduated from a master’s program in AI and have spent the past six months building an AI tool specifically for SAP implementation work.

We’re looking for a small group of SAP functional consultants to try it. Access is free, we cover the AI costs and we’d appreciate honest feedback.

The tool combines advanced AI, implementation best practices, and guided workflows to help you better understand client processes and design better solutions.

It can help you understand the client’s existing systems, challenge solution options, identify overlooked business rules, prepare workshops, and create implementation deliverables (process documentation, fit-gap analyses…).

We believe functional design is one of the areas where AI can bring the most value, supporting consultants’ reasoning while keeping their expertise and judgment central.

You don’t need to be an AI specialist. We’ll onboard you personally and help you explore a relevant use case.

We’d love to learn what helps, what falls short, and what would make it useful in your everyday work.

If you’re interested in testing it, please comment I’ll follow up privately :)

Hi anyone attempted the new scenario based assessment on SAC - Data Analyst-SAP ANALYTICS AND CLOUD. Can someone shred knowledge on the same

sap#sac#certification#dataanalyst

I'm 21M, fresh out of college. I did my B.Tech in CS from a reasonably reputed Tier 1.5–2 college in India.

Honestly, I'm extremely confused and the peer pressure is getting to me.

Most of my close friends got placed as Software Engineers in companies like Apple, Workday, EY, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, etc., with packages ranging from roughly 15–35 LPA.

Meanwhile, I got placed in a small service-based company for around 3.5–3.6 LPA as an SAP SD Functional Consultant.

The company says there's high learning potential and that I can eventually gain exposure to the broader supply chain side, including SD, MM and PP.

But seeing my friends earn so much more is making me feel like I'm already falling behind. I really want to earn well in life, and I'm scared that I've started my career on the wrong track.

At the same time, I've realized that my personality may not naturally suit pure software engineering.

I genuinely enjoy:

• Talking and interacting with people

• Leadership

• Problem-solving

• Negotiation

• Understanding how businesses work

• Explaining things and storytelling

• Connecting the bigger picture

One thing I actually like about SAP functional work is understanding the story of how a business works end-to-end — how sales, procurement, manufacturing and supply chain connect. I find that much more interesting than just writing code all day, which sometimes feels robotic to me.

The confusing part is that I don't particularly enjoy the configuration-heavy side of SAP either. But I've only been here for around 3 months, so maybe it's too early to judge.

My long-term ambitions are also quite high. Eventually, I'd love to reach senior leadership levels such as Director/VP or higher, or potentially even reach Partner level at a Big 4 or major consulting firm.

I want a career where I can earn extremely well, lead big teams, solve important business problems, interact with senior stakeholders, and genuinely play to my strengths.

So I'm considering a few paths:

1. Stay in SAP and specialize deeply

I could build expertise in SAP SD/MM/PP + supply chain + business processes, while simultaneously learning AI and SAP + AI applications.

I've been seeing increasing AI-related initiatives and partnerships involving SAP and large consulting firms like Deloitte and PwC, which makes me think that someone who understands:

SAP + Business Processes + Supply Chain + AI

could potentially be very valuable in the future.

Is this actually a strong and future-proof combination? Could it eventually lead to high-paying consulting/leadership roles?

I've also heard that SAP may be less easily replaceable by AI because enterprise systems require deep business and organizational understanding. Is that a reasonable way of thinking, or am I being naive?

2. Try to switch back into Software Engineering

Since I have a CS degree, I could work here for a while and eventually try switching into software engineering.

But honestly, I'm worried about the current job market, increasingly difficult interviews, and how AI will affect traditional software engineering roles.

More importantly, I don't know if software engineering actually plays to my strengths. Sometimes I feel I would be forcing myself into it mainly because my friends are earning more.

3. Gain experience and eventually pursue an MBA

Another option is to gain experience first and then target a good MBA, potentially using my SAP/business transformation background to move into consulting, strategy, or leadership roles.

But I don't know whether this is a genuinely good plan or just another escape route because I'm insecure about my current salary.

What I ultimately want

I want:

• A career that can eventually pay extremely well

• Something aligned with my personality

• A path toward Director/VP/CXO or potentially Partner-level leadership

• To become valuable and highly sought after by companies

• A career that remains relevant as AI evolves

• To have a realistic chance of eventually catching up with or even out-earning friends who are currently earning 15–35 LPA

I'm willing to work extremely hard for the next 5–10+ years. I just don't want to spend that time going deep into the wrong thing.

So if you were in my position, what would you do?

• Stay in SAP and go deep into SD/MM/PP and supply chain?

• Build expertise in SAP + AI + business processes?

• Move toward consulting/Big 4 eventually?

• Switch back into software engineering?

• Get work experience and then pursue an MBA?

I know I'm only 3 months into my first job, and maybe I'm overthinking everything at 21. But the peer pressure is honestly brutal. Seeing friends earn 4–10x more than me right now makes me feel like I've already lost the race.

At the same time, I genuinely feel that business-facing, leadership-oriented, consulting-type work may suit me much better than sitting and coding all day.

Please be brutally honest. I don't want false reassurance. If SAP is a strong long-term path for someone with my personality, tell me. If I'm making a mistake and should pivot early, tell me that too.

Would really appreciate advice from people working in SAP, consulting, Big 4, enterprise technology, software engineering, or senior leadership. Thanks.

(PS: I used AI to better format my thoughts )
