Transitioning From ABAP To FICO

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

As Stated on this topic discussion, i would be very much appreciated to receive any advice and notable documents / compilation on how to start to be a SAP - FICO consultant.

I've done throughly serch in the net about topic on how to be an effective SAP FICO counsultant and it helps me alot to know the basics, however i assumed that SAP is always inevitable for change specially in FICO, this is because the blogs and post i've read is already in the past and i just wanna know what are the most important things to start in FICO these days.

Your response is highly appreciated,

Mark.

FICO is related to financial domain and you have to  plan your career as Financial business analyst. In Order to work in FICO, You would would  to be financial expert. It is preferable if you have  chartered accountant (or) MBA(finance) as  background.

Hi Marky,

Krishna pointed out correctly to you.  If you have background of Accounting then it would be ideal choice.  However, I can see the subject from ABAP to FICO.  You have to see which one you are very comfortable on the process side when you were worked with SAP Functional consultants SD, MM, PP, FI etc.  Also, check what is your study and domain background because it gives you a ladder to move fast in terms of understanding on functional side.

If you have already worked on SAP FICO ABAP then it would be an ideal choice, but check above points before moving into correct SAP modules.
