[Post] sap learning experience

In order to learn sap well, the first thing to do is to find learning materials online.

Including sap InstallationProgramSoftware, official materials, books, e-books, and learning experiences ......

The most important thing to mention here is the learning experience of many SAP experts. It can be said that it is a learning guide for our SAP coolders. It can tell us how to develop sap. I will share my summary with you ...... Many of my friends are planning to enter the SAP Consulting field, but sap's products are too complicated, enterprises that have implemented SAp are reluctant to re-train their sap staff. After training, they leave their jobs due to salary issues for a short period of time, which outweighs the loss. Therefore, for those who have ERP experience, the threshold for SAP is too high. The chances of entry are even far smaller than those of the new students.

Through self-learning sap, I entered the SAP Consulting field. I believe many erper share their dreams. How can they cross this threshold? Here I have summarized some experiences for your reference.

The first hurdle: getting started

I often encounter four mistakes when I was a beginner at sap. Many people may have not carefully considered these mistakes. I have also made these mistakes and delayed a lot of time.

Misunderstanding 1: do not study at the front-end

Those who have ERP experience learn SAP by themselves, but those who do not have ERP experience can learn sap quickly. Maybe many people have never thought about this problem. I talked to many friends who learned sap in the Forum. It seems that what everyone cares about is how to configure the SAP system. Installing ides requires a study of spro-What is front-end? The problem is: the foundation is unstable. How can we go fast and far away? Many people rely on their own understanding of other ERP products to study sap, but they often cannot see their growth after learning for a long time, because of this: not steadfast enough.

Misunderstanding 2: Do not look at the function, look at the maintenance

It can be seen that the maintenance here refers to the work done by basis, such as "setting User Permissions" "client copy", "system tuning", "memory optimization", and "database optimization. However, in a real sap team, these maintenance tasks are handled by dedicated personnel. If you spend too much energy on this topic, the learning content will be delayed. I don't know which of the following friends posted in the forum what to install IDES and copy a "clean" client to learn-maybe this is true, but for beginners: after you have set all the parameters, I am afraid it will be around year 35.

Some people initially considered sap's permission assignment and database backup. This part is also under the full-time responsibility of basis, which is no less difficult than a module consultant.

Misunderstanding 3: development and implementation are not divided

I also heard from many friends that the simplest way to study a system is to view the data flow in the database. Only by understanding the data flow can you really understand how the system is designed and grasp the system from the bottom layer. Well, that's right. But don't forget: you are a beginner. Your goal is SAP Consulting rather than developers. Yes, abaper and consultant are also two positions. Unless you are positioning a Development Consultant, it is better to stay away from ABAP at the beginner stage. You should know that sap has tens of thousands of tables, and you will fall into the trap if you are not careful.

But let's talk about it separately-a consultant who doesn't know ABAP can never be a senior consultant, but you can't be in a hurry.

Misunderstanding 4: finding information on mantai Street

The SAP information I have on hand is about dozens of GB. Let's look at it. The biggest help for myself is onlinehelp. Yes, SAP online help. Why? I don't know. Why? Go to help. sap. com. Is it a headache for a lot of English documents? Yes. But as long as you find the correct method, it is really easy to learn. The correct method is to look at the content related to ides. The learning environment you installed is not about ides. There are all the data in it. Refer to the steps in the SAP help file to step by step, and you will soon be able to operate the system skillfully. It is too easy to get started.

To sum up, the method for getting started is: Don't worry, start with foreground operations, study basic operations, and then study background settings. Is this method simple? Yes. Aside from all your previous experiences and qualifications, you should start learning from the basic operations of sap as a cainiao who is not familiar with it. Let's take a look at the PPT and take a look at the entry material step by step.

Second hurdle: English

Speaking of the second hurdle of learning sap, I am afraid n people will share the same feeling: English. Many people go to the Internet to find Chinese documents. It seems easier, but don't forget that it is not the official sap documents. The translation and understanding of Chinese and English documents are quite different. In particular, the materials for improving official certification training qualifications are only available in English. As an independent scholar, after mastering the basic operations of SAP, you must go to sap's official training materials-improved. Not to mention the online help we mentioned earlier. In this regard, if you do not have a good English foundation or do not have the habit of reading English documents, it will be difficult to improve for a long time. When it comes to English materials, if it is self-taught, the most final point is to force yourself to get used to these things. There is no way to do this.

Studying the background configuration of SAP is one of the most important tasks in learning. From the information I have learned, I am willing to clearly link all the configurations, and only sap official documents are available. So ......, Don't complain.

Third hurdle: Opportunity

Can you endure loneliness? For scholars, it is very uncomfortable not to be recognized by formal channels. How can we be recognized by formal channels? In my opinion, self-learning sap is hard to be able to withstand loneliness. Think about it. For sap users, two years of experience can only be considered a cainiao. Can you learn SAP by yourself for two years? I believe that there is no specific job, and many people will give up after three or five months of study. What is the real effect of learning in three or five months? I don't need to say that I think you know the time. Of course, some people may say that the time I spend is definitely less than the time spent on full-time study-but if you think about it, can it be true? Do people who are willing to work as SAP consultants do not study the system hard?

So I think: Persistence is the most rare thing. If you cannot see the path, how can you smooth it out.
