I've been a software developer for 5 years. What you said is so true but once the college graduate starts to work, they quickly find out they don't know ****!
I never thought of it that way haha. What I meant was that I don't understand why a company wants you to have experience with their software, especially when the software is unique to that company. There are many versions of SAP, and I'm not sure which one the company uses. If I have all the experience AND the education, shouldn't I get a call at least? I have the knowledge to do the meat of the job. The SAP software seems like an electronic file cabinet. Shouldn't knowing how to do the job be more important than filing it? The job deals with contracts by the way
SAP is an open architecture software. It depends on the company and how they want to set it up. People complain about its user difficulty but thats either because they have a lack of experience in it or the software wasnt set up has it should have been.
I've tried to get more knowledge on SAP as well. I'm just confused as to which sector I should be focusing on. Currently at my job, I create and design reports using Oracle BI 10g Discoverer, Qlikview, Crystal 11.0, and sometimes Excel. Generally I'm writing complex sql to create these reports. Anyone have a suggestion as to which section of SAP I should focus on if I want to learn it? I'm guessing since there is an abundance of training classes, it'd be hard to find a good one. Perhaps I can learn on my own by getting a book (any suggestions on which book is good?). I just don't know where to start... . Any help would be appreciated!
there are many modules to SAP dealing with various aspects of managing the company some of which include FI/CO (Financial/Controlling) HR (Human Resources) ETC. within these modules there are even more areas where expertise are required for example FI/CO includes some areas such as accounts payable and accounts recievable
