Hi Abhinav,

First I am very glad to hear that you have sound domain knowldge in HR. So for a person like you SAP Implementation experience will be fantastic advantage. Off course if you wanna do certification on SAP HCM that you can always do but for a person like you who has already sound domain knowldge if you add SAP HCM Implementation experienece in your bucket you are done.

You know the respective HR Processes so thats a big advantage. However following steps would be good for you:

• Participate in Requirement Gathering workshop
• Participate in Design Process and finalise the design
• Try to know the SAP Configuration to some extent
• Involve in SAP HCM Process testing
• Good amount of involvement in SAP Authorisation issues as well.

Thanks & Regards
