I have got invitation from grace.chiu to write my purpose challenge. I read all purpose challenge, so I thought I can also read my purpose challenge...
I an Dev Patra, As you can read my BIF for my details introduction Blog It Forward- Dev Patra
So I think I don't have to tell my introduction...
After mu education, I have joined an organization which was based on a manufacturing company..
In that day, my organization was working in Legacy system, I have worked as a data entry user. Then my company decided to implement SAP.
When I heard about SAP, I am very much crazy about SAP, At the time of implementation, I have worked with SAP from morning 10am to night 11 pm..
As you can see I am much crazy about SAP, so I left my all daily work and have given all concentrate in SAP learning..
So it was a big trouble for me, My organization warn me to complete my daily work. But I was very much interested in SAP, so I can't complete my daily work.
And after 3 months, My organization wants to sack me from job just because of I can;t complete my daily work and I had given all time to SAP team to learn SAP.
So I take a risk to leave the company, I have submitted my resignation in my organization...
But my boss was not able to accept my resignation, because I was a valuable employee at that time in legacy operating system..
So he told me that, please at least complete your daily work, then you can spend time with SAP team.
But I wan not agree with that... I told him that I want to learn SAP, if I don't get sufficient time to learn SAP, then I will leave my Job.
So at that time my organization decide to shifted me with SAP team.. From that time to now I am working in same organization..
I have worked 6 years in the same organization..
Now In my organization, I am only MM consultant...So at my working purpose, I have to manage all things which is related to MM module...In these days, I have a lots of work in my office.
Recently I got a roll-out project in my organization, they want to implement SAP MM and SD module for a company.. We have the organization structure, we have to just create a company code and plant and assignment.. I have done the all configuration. It was working fine...
Last week I was in my home.
Suddenly I got a call from my boss, he told me "Where are you ? Come to office immediately."
I have reached in office as soon as possible..
I saw our auditor gets a huge amount for a business transaction. Its a fault of my boss. Wrongly he gave the date 01.04.2003 instead of 01.04.2013.
So system shows him a lots of amount, which is not valid for this fiscal year...
I saw the report and I also shocked.. Then I checked my boss's laptop, then I fount he gave the date of 2003. So its fetch a huge amount...
Now our SAP is running smooth and well... And I am also a settle person in SAP MM module...
1. My purpose in my work is definitely not fun. I tried figure out and after this experience I realized it really wasn't for me, but it is.
2. Honestly saying, from SCN-MM space, I gat the inspiration to learn new things.
