The candidate should have experience in implementing Financial Accounting and Management Accounting of at least 5 years. In addition, the candidate should understand the differences and innovations in architecture, configuration, and business process execution with SAP S/4HANA. Finally, the candidate will be able to perform all the preparation and execution steps of a project to convert an SAP ERP system to SAP S/4HANA. The core of the knowledge required for successfully passing the certification exam is in the SAP Education curriculum (course, course book including the notes), however the exam scope extends beyond what is explicitly within the content of the materials. In addition, the materials themselves assume an advanced level of familiarity with the implementation, configuration, and execution of SAP Finance business processes with the SAP ERP application. This certificate proves that the candidate has the overall understanding and skills required to be a qualified supervisor of the team performing the implementation of Financials in SAP S/4HANA. The candidate also has all required capabilities to act as an application consultant and team member himself/herself. This certification exam is relevant for SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition and SAP S/4HANA on-premise.
