SAP FI certification

[#1]

Folks,

I have been working in SAP for last five years but in technical domain. For fortunately enough i have spent most of the time in FI/CO module . Since working constantly in this module i have gain considerable amount of knowledge in this area. Now I would like to give certification specifically in FI and I am walking in the dark. Can someone give me answer for this question related to FI certification that would be great.

1. What courses I need to study for FI Certification? I do have most of the material since my colleagues have attended lots of SAP courses but no one appeared for certification.

2. SAP emphasis on which area the most.

3. How many questions asked and how long the exam would be.

4. How difficult it would be for a technical person to complete this exam successfully?

Your answers will be greatly appreciated

Hello Ravi

I am Shripad, working in Dubai in one of MNC.

We have recently implemented SAP in our Dubai and I was Budget to report lead and also a lead for AP and AR integrated points with Procure to Pay and Order to Cash respectively.

I would like to go for SAP FICO certification now in order to enhance my knowledge.

Would you advise me to go for a training and then for certification?

Thank you

Hello Shripad,

Please note now SAP FI and CO and two different certifications altogether. I would suggest you go for SAP FI.

You should have the formal training, then only you are advised to go for Certification. I do not know what is your level of knowledge in various areas, as this FI certification does not only cover AP AR but various other topics such as New GL, Asset Accounting, Solution Manager etc. Therefore, you should also be familiar with all those areas. If you have reasonably good understanding, then you can even read the available literature and appear directly for the certification. I think if you are in UAE you do not need to have pre-requisite of attending the training course. Please contact your local SAP Education in UAE.

Hope this helps.

All the best.

Kind Regards,

Thank you Ravi for your quick response and apologies for not providing enough background about myself.

I work as a Chief Accountant and have around 17 years of experience in Financial Accounting such as AR, AP, GL, Fixed Assets, Capital Planning, Inventory Management, Consolidation, Management reporting etc.

May I ask why I do you suggest I should do only FI and not CO?

Also, would you know which is the best institute in UAE I should go to for training?

Thank you for your support.

Best Regards

Hi Shripad,

Compared to FI, CO certification is difficult. I can understand from your experience that you have good business process knowledge. But, I am not sure whether it would suffice to clear the CO examination, as it would also test in the areas of configuration in product costing, CO-PA. Remaining other CO areas might not that configuration driven as they are more or less process driven areas. Usually, people go with FI certification, after having couple of years experience, they would tend to go for CO Certification.

There might be SAP / Authorised Training Centers in Dubai. But, they would be expensive. I have no idea about the local institutes in Dubai.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can find all that information on the training.sap.com website. Search for 'CO Certification'.

They might even have sample questions for you!

cheers

Hi Sonam,

Please refer the following search link:

https://training.sap.com/shop/sap-search?q=TFIN22

For curriculum please refer above link. I would personally go with less pass percentage certification to avoid risk. You will find +++ areas with more importance reading. However, you should not leave any chapter or neglect neglect any chapter. Read all books at least 5 times very religiously.

All the best.

Kind Regards,

Ravi
