Learning SAP SCM... Which Module & Course in Supply Chain Or Logistics?

[Former Member]

Hello

I am  an Industrial Engineer & I have been exposed to SAP  in consulting projects but in a Change Management role. I now desire to  invest in SAP SCM training so that I may fined a better Job in SAP with  my four years experience in Change Management for SAP. I am in north  America.

I'm considering one of the following courses:

SAP eAcademy  SCM - Procurement

SAP eAcademy SCM - Order Fulfillment

However I went online to see what employers are looking for in a SAP analyst/consultant and one of the adverts was as follows:

Expertise in SAP: SCM-Advanced Planner & Optimizer  (APO), SCM-APO-Demand  Planning & Forecasting, SCM-APO-Supply Network Planning (SNP),  SCM-Manufacturing-Production Planning (PP),  SCM-Manufacturing-Detailed  Scheduling (PP-DS), SCM-Global  Available-to-Promise (GATP),  SCM-Transportation Planning & Vehicle  Scheduling (TPVS),  SCM-APO-Inventory Collaboration Hub (ICH),   SCM-Warehousing-Distribution, SCM-Warehousing-Multiple Handling Units,   CS-Global Trade Services (GTS), Logistics Execution (LE), LE-Shipping   (LE-S), Inventory Management (MM-IM), LE-Warehouse Management (LE-WM),   Transportation Management (LO-TR)

• Ability to meet travel requirements, when applicable• Minimum 4 years of experience plus 1 full implementation• Relevant degree or equivalent in professional experience

I have three questions based on the information I have given you above:

>Which of the two courses will better position me strategically for employment as an SAP analyst/consultant in Supply Chain (I known there are no  grantees, I just want an opinion.. responsibility lies with me  )

>looking at the advert displayed above and using your experience in the field do think any of these two courses are accurate in terms of what is needed  as SAP SCM practitioner or are they just an overview.  Should I rather  pursue training in one of the skills mentioned in the advert e.g.  'LE-Warehouse Management (LE-WM)'

> Are there  any other SAP SCM training that you would suggest that you consider more useful or accurate in terms what is needed in the SAP SCM field

Thanks, Hope you will be able to help.
