Moving into MDG career

[former_member797498]

Dear All,

I am a functional consultant worked on CRM, SD & Ariba. Like to learn and move with MDG.

Do I need to have ABAP knowledge too as a mandatory skill or Key areas of ABAP will enable me to get into MDG consulting? Please do through some light. Thanks.

Regards,

Rao.

Hi,

SAP MDG consultant is a functional and technical role.

Normally there is a MDG lead per functional area (BP, Material or Finance).

The MDG lead will have strong knowledge on the functional side and data model of the especific area and should also have a good unserstanding of the technical side.

A typical SAP MDG team could be:

1-MDG BP (Business partner) supplier and customer-Functional.

2-MDG MM Material-Functional.

3-MDG FI Finance-Functional.

4-SAP workflow (ideally each functional lead should have good knowledge.)

5-Abap developer.

6-UI Fiori developer.

7-MDG replication (ALE-Idoc,SOA (web services), RFC,File), ideally each finctional lead will know the replication details of the owner area.

8-PI middleware

9-SAP basis.

10-SAP IDM-Authorizations.

Based on your background in CRM, Ariba and SD. The ideal MDG data model for you may be MDG-BP (supplier and customer).

Going through the Learning hub material based on MDG learning journey to get MDG certification will give you the knowledge referred above.

Check the MDG certification details in these URLs, to know more the MDG areas and main subjects.
