..Who insist you to go in MM or what makes you eager to move in MM without any prior domain knowledge.

Believe me there are plenty of nice technologies in SAP which must need ABAP knowledge like XI BI Workflow WebDynpro ABAP WebDynpro JAVA Etc which are floating in market and using at large scale with SAP customers.

I would suggest you to go with either of these or all. Hence your Prior knowledge and Experience would also count and worthy enough.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the advice ..

I have knowledge in Webdynpro ABAP and now I want to go in a direction where I can be a

techno-functional consultant . My plan is to move to SRM and for that I should understand MM

completely . Hence I started reading MM but ..

But....Power gone?;-)

Okay back to topic: I read this from somewhere: SAP SRM enables the full range of supply and procurement activities, closing the loop from strategy stage to execution. SAP SRM will help you optimize operations and put together a world-class supply and procurement operation, with a scalable platform and an easy-to-use business user interface that enables processes in the following key areas:

For switching in SRM you must have basic knowledge of SAP enterprise buyer and SAP solution manager where as few basic knowledge of MM would also helpful. The must is Domain knowledge towards Management skills not towards MM configuration.

All The best.
