Hi
SAP HR is an ERP package where in it has many modules on different domain like HR, Finance, sales, MM and so on.
People in HR if they want to get into SAP, it is always necessary firstly some domain experience. Means to have practical hands on experience in various issues like payroll, time office, recruitments, appraisals, training & developement etc.
Bcoz SAP HR has so many modules of this kind. For eg in payroll, it has break schedule, daily schedule... in configuring break schedule, there will paid break and unpaid break. there will be shifts. for each criteria one should configure one break schedule. In this kind of situation, if one has atleast worked on payroll processing, time management with different shifts, they will have easy understanding of this concept.
So better after getting atleast 2 yrs on HR, to go for SAP HR.
And coming to the opportunities, for freshers nowhere for sap openings are there.
But if get trained its a value addition to the resume and also one can upgrade the skills with an erp package.
For SAP, THERE WILL BE TWO KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES - as consultants(who will be implementing the SAP for the clients) and another is USERS, like one can work in a company where it may using sap as their software for HR. so it good to get trained.
Further to discuss is regarding certifications. SIEMNES IS the only authorised ones to give certifications. The course fee will be so expensive.
Apart from that all local institutes in all the locations, they give training in SAP modules. THose who can afford for certification, can go for it. Others can get Trained in the latest version of SAP HR in a reputed institute.
Coming to the job profile - As it is a consulting job profile, lot of travel may be there depending on the project allocated also. Sometimes consultants may have to work in the client place and it may be days or months. so people willing to travel and prepared for surprise travel can opt for this.
This is given from my practical experience and knowledge as am also SAP HR trained and also got offer from CMML company for SAP HR.
If anything to be suggested in the above, pls all are welcome.
Regards
Navya
