Day 2 of Training.

I had a lot of friends coming over from different companies who have had training from the IT training companies(NIIT, Aptech, Enterprise logic, LearnSAP etc.) for SAP and trust me they are not half as good as the training I underwent for the past two days(Its in fact a three day course). But thanks to the myth that you need to get a hold of the technology before applying for a job. When you don’t get into product companies like SAP, Oracle, etc. they believe that its basically because of the fact that they have not undergone any courses on them, but then I realized that the only thing that most of the Training companies do is to teach you how to tackle loads of interview questions.

Day two of training at SAP Labs, India. Some slight tiredness but that is just due to me pushing myself a bit out of my limits on the search of a house near my office. I just realized I haven’t done anything so wearisome like this since I was in school athletic team where I forced way out of my limit. Though I didn’t have time to revise or even skim through what Syamala(Trainer at SAP for the course SAP01) had taught for the first day, I kind of remembered most of it. Thanks to her. Why? She was very patient with the silly doubts that most of us(Navneet, Uday and I) here did. She has a deep understanding on the concepts and she illustrated each of the concepts with a couple of examples. Guess, thats why they say experience counts.

I couldn’t attend the training completely, since my Project Manager had planned to give me a formal introduction to the team in Germany. During the course of the meeting I came to know that I along with Kamal Kant would be working under Marlene(in Germany). That was when I knew that I wouldn’t be attending the whole of my training, but just plug-in during the important sessions. The meeting was for about an hour, I returned back to the training.

I liked the Assignment that she assigned us during the end of the session today, which dealt with creation of a quotation ->sales order-> outbound delivery-> goods issue-> Invoice generation and the second one where we had to create Purchase receipt-> placement of order-> Invoice generation. These assignments literally covered up all the topics that we did. In fact the second assigment had some tweaks to done, which she didn’t cover purposefully, since she wanted us to explore the SAP Easy Access Menu. Hoping to stick with the herd till the training gets over.
