I am working as SAP test Engineer for 2 years.I had an engineering undergraduate in electrical and computer.

The problem may be my engineering mind,i wanted to get whole picture of what am doing which i have not gotten so far. i am not feeling a kind of grip in the SAP knowledge. Every time i tries to learn some thing in SAP, am loosing the connectivity in my learning as each module is connected to many other modues. This makes me loose my mind.

This also make me feel boring in doing my work, since i am doing the work without any idea of mind.

Is there any books or document which dives perfectly in to SAP?

I have a plan to do graduation in Electrical and Computer Engineering, which have software also  as a course and can even go for R&D in software, will my SAP knowledge and graduation help in my career?

Is there any innovative roles in sap career?

Hi

SAP is like an ocean.  You need to be more specific in terms of module you want to gain expertise in. Half knowledge of anything is always dangerous.  Hence -

1. Decide on which module you want to gain expertise in

2. There are core module of SAP - SD, MM, FICO and of course ABAP

3. There are new dimensional module of SAP - CRM, SCM, HCM etc. (within CRM there is a huge demand for MOBILE SALES)

4. Each above module itself is very vast and it required good amount of functional and technical knowledge.

Hence, please decide on which module to work on.  I am sure, it will give much better idea and you can be expert soon.  All the above modules are innovative.

Please don't believe in - Jack of all and Master of none.

Hope this will help

Regards

Ok, let me explain my problem.

I will conceptualize the learning of SAP with understanding a tree.

At first the tree will have the roots, trunk, branches, sub branches and leaves.

The Branches and sub branches = modules and different sub modules in SAP.

The leaves = the transactions or may be the minutest details in a     module

The roots = the basis or the technical side.

The trunk ="This is the missing part, how this modules are integrated" 

Without the trunk knowledge, we are learning SAP without actually knowing what’s happening.

The fact is still someone could be a functional consultant

I just want to know SAP as I know about a tree.
