"SAP EDI Professional" course is built on years of SAP, SAP EDI integration experience from development to project management. This course addresses business and technical aspects of EDI integration with SAP modules with sales and distribution being the primary area. It is divided into 11 sections with bottom up approach. This course starts with EDI basics then dive into defining and integrating EDI with SAP for techno-functional perspective.
Each session has required materials, such as, power point presentation, sample IGs, sample files, Field Mapping Documents, ABAP code, IDOC configurations, etc. Outcomes from sessions can be used in professional carriers with little change based on project or support requirement.
Depending on your commitment, this course will take 45 days to complete. Most of the session should be followed with SAP analysis, practice and dummy FMD design, ABAP code, IDOC interface configuration. It will provide a solid foundation in EDI documents and SAP integration. To build on top of it, you should at least spend 45-90 days on future study materials provided in the summary session. All these will give you a good competency on the subject.
If you are an ABAPer working in project or support or just trained this course will provide in depth understanding of SAP EDI integration from techno-functional perspective. If you want to excel in SAP B2B integration and understand how high-volume business are executed this may be the course, you want to attend.
