    FAQ

    When we say end-to-end implementation, we mean learning the complete project lifecycle  – just like it happens in real client projects.

    In this SAP S4 HANA FICO Training, you will learn to gather business requirements, configure the system step by step, test the scenarios, migrate data, and learning what happens after go-live.

    Pradeep will teach you all the stages of SAP Finance implementation, from project preparation to rollout completion, the same way consultants work in real projects.

    So when you work on an actual project, you will be able to do full finance implementation from start to end independently.

    The Hands-on Project that we offer with this course is a complete end-to-end business process simulation done on a live SAP S/4HANA System.
    Here you will practically do SAP S4 HANA Finance and Controlling configuration & implementing all key functions such as:

    • Company code, chart of accounts, and GL setup

    • AP, AR, and Asset Accounting

    • Cost Center, Profit Center, and Internal Order

    • Integration with MM and SD modules

    It is not a demo – you will actually work like a functional consultant on a real-time business scenario, preparing you for client projects and interviews.

    SAP FICO and SAP S4 HANA Finance actually refer to the same SAP financial management modules. It’s just that SAP FICO is the older version in ECC, while SAP S/4HANA Finance is its modern version on the HANA platform—faster, simplified, and real-time.

    Although most companies are now transitioning to SAP S/4HANA Finance, being a very popular term, people still commonly call it SAP FICO on S4 HANA only. In practice, they mean the same area of SAP- Finance and Controlling.

    You may also see some other names for this module, such as SAP FICO Course, S4 HANA FICO Course or SAP S4HANA FICO Training, all mean the same.

    As we finish Phase 1 of the training, Phase 2 will be the Hands-On Project. It works in 2 stages.

    • Stage 1- Greenfeld Implementation – a scenario-based end-to-end implementation of SAP FICO on the latest S4 HANA on a client project
    • Stage 2 –  Roll Out – S4 HANA Template to a new country.

      We conduct classes on premium training software which offers lots of user-friendly features. The tools in that software will assist you to get connected with the trainer in the most convenient manner.

      With an Accounting or Finance background, even if you are from a non-SAP sector, this training helps you transition into SAP consulting roles effectively. SAP Finance & Controlling, being the top sought-after ERP module, adds immense value to finance/accounting professionals who want to upgrade their careers. Thus, if you wish to grow as a SAP HANA Finance Consultant, you must opt for it.

      Yes, definitely. You do not need experience in the SAP domain. If you have experience/working knowledge of accounting and business processes in non-SAP environments, you can upgrade to become a SAP S/4HANA Finance consultant.

      After working on the Hands-On Project, you will be ready to apply for the Consultant roles in the Finance and Controlling segments.

      It was a nice two-month journey with you. We found the training sessions very useful and interactive. We got in-depth knowledge of SAP S/4 HANA during the course of training. This made us capable of owning SAP S/4 HANA Migration Projects and greenfield implementation as well. The all the sessions were rhythmic which integrate the subject one after another.
