Hey Abdullah, I have been consulting in the SAP FICO space for 20 years. Every word in this piece is absolutely correct, and great advice for a new member of our community.

[@AbdullahGalal]

Thank you Steve for the feedback, glad the experienced community agrees with me! Do you have any other simple but important advices like these? I want to make another part

[@1262146]

What i learnt from my 1 year experience: Do your due diligence before approaching the senior/team lead/customer --> 1. double check your facts. 2. test it first in your test/dev environment 3. screenshot the steps 4. Google for answers. 5. Predict the possible questions that might throw at you. One of the things is to study the task carefully, look at the nature/business processes of the customer, and provide suggestions/expect questions that might come up. 6. predict and propose a buffer for your customer. For example, the customer may not need a particular process flow, but based on your experience, you know they will need it one day. Or it can be that they tell you they only create 9 production orders per day, but you provide them up to 15 just incase they suddenly exceeded 7. Plan what you wanna say in every meeting. Make it concise, accurate, and to the point if you are being asked in a meeting.

Wow that's a great list! shows why being a consultant is not an easy job

Thank you for all these advices!! Starting as a SAP Junior Consultant next month!

How is it going so far?

[@alibrahim99]

Many thanks for these advices, it's really helpful for junior level and valuable to be kept in mind for higher levels of experience. I'd like to add two more; 1- Don't be afraid to make mistakes 💪, it's your time now. 😎 2- Make your own library for every function or feature you learnt. - by the time, you'll forget a lot 🤦‍♂️

[@AbdullahGalal]

I get back to my videos to remember how to run some processes 🤷‍♂️ Very good advice to keep a library ..if you can :)

Hi abdullah is the channel membership one time payment or is it monthly? When i try to become a gold member it says one time payment of 159INR..is it correct?

[@AbdullahGalal]

Hi, it's a monthly payment, but I think for India there's no auto renewal, so every month you need to join again if you

[@Offthecharts_1]

@@AbdullahGalal thanks for the update..

[@michamajewski1734]

don't introduce yourself by saying in the first sentence "i have X years of experience in SAP" :D

[@AbdullahGalal]

I don't see the harm in this 🤔😀

[@davidj.2431]

Design a solution that's future proof but not with a deadlock, your name will be staying in the FS for years 🤣

[@AbdullahGalal]

Good luck avoiding that 😂
