Futher to Srinivasa’s nice suggestion, I would like to add following:

Learning technology has dependencies. Ideally, there’s nothing like starting career in ERP – SAP as Technical Consultant. But, you are already into Functional Consulting. That’s fine. You have to postpone serious technical learning now (by that, I mean you should involve to certain extent only) and get into serious functional learning. If you try to learn both at a time you might get lost. Then, when you feel, you are Ok with Functional part you can jump start Technical learning and you can learn at lightening pace.

By Functional, I mean: SD, CRM – Base Customizing, Sales & E-Commerce (Priority in learning should ideally in that Order - including cross module integrations)

By Technical, I mean: ABAP

Good Luck

Hi Shweta,

The following forums in SDN can help you:

ERP - SD

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) - General & Framework

CRM - People Centric User Interface

SAP Business One E-Commerce and Web CRM

CRM - Web Application

CRM - Mobile Applications

I am sorry, I cannot help you much as I am not a expert in CRM to suggest you some good books or links.But you can search in the above forums or post a new question. Besides all these, I suggest you to go through the sap help sites etc.
