Hi,

(1) what kind of reporting skill a consultant should have?

On top of what has already been proposed, one should also have the skills to build complex ABAP reports by being able to join multiple tables with various logics to arrive at a comprehensive report for the client. In the case of a functional consultant, you must be able to translate a good functional specification for the ABAP programmer to write the program. This is usually required by the client. Simple reporting would commonly not fit the client's requirement, or at least the Management's requirement where they want to see all company's figures summarized in one page.

(2) except for application configuration skill , what other tools we have to use for a project?

Preferbly you should have integration knowledge and skills with various 3rd Party and Partner products used (not only cross-modules integration), i.e. external Pricing tool (for complex pricing calculations), external WM tool, external Transportation Planning tool, mobile application integration tools (currently a trend) etc etc. and how these tools can be integrated to SAP to achieve end-to-end order to cash design. On top of all that, having knowledge and skills in various project management tools is also a plus, i.e. SAP Solution Manager, MS Project, Primavera, Visio tool, ARIS etc. Having these knowledge is important for overall project success too.

Hope the above helps.

Thanks.

Hi,

In case of reporting skills able to explain in which tables data is stored .Then instead of going for a custom a report you can easily develop a query which gives you the result fastly.Need a good knowledge at functional side.Need to understand the business process.Able to explain the process is right or not.Need to suggest good method which makes their work easy and accurate.Along with con figuration skills need to find the exact the scenarios which is useful for them.

Regards,
