Hi Venkat,

I believe there has been similar such queries in this forum earlier. Suggest looking through those. If you have done SAP ABAP training (refer to "recently i completed sap abap) then getting more experience in ABAP and working through it would be natural choice. APO like other SAP applications is a mix of Functional and Technical and good ABAPer are always in demand. Given you have a technical background and no functional experience (assuming no work experience in an organisation) getting into functional consulting will be a tough order.

SDN is a vast source of information and you should go through the SCM and APO Wiki pages to get a better high-level understanding of the different modules. Also look into SCM-BPX. All links are in <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/Main">SCM Wiki</a>. Go through these and then take your own judgement call. If you ask me - Technical (ABAP or BASIS) would be a good starting point for a pure fresher.

As for training - SAP Academy training is provided by Siemens and Genovate.

Look through SAP's <a href="http://www.sap.com/asia/services/education/schedule/schedule_IN.htm">Training Calendar</a>

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Somnath
