SAP EXPLAINED
What is SAP? A beginner’s guide to starting a career in SAP
The system, the career paths, and the practical first steps I wish someone had explained when I started.
Field notes from real SAP projects
The part of SAP consulting nobody puts in the slide deck.
Practical lessons, honest mistakes, funny moments, and real challenges based on consulting experiences from across SAP projects.
Real projects. Useful lessons. Zero corporate theatre.
From the project notebook
Useful after the workshop ends.
Lessons about systems, projects, people, and the awkward gap between a process diagram and real life.
PROJECT STORIES
The requirement everyone agreed on
How a simple lift-and-shift requirement carried a much larger maintenance problem into the new landscape.
FIELD LESSONS
When the interface was right and the order was still wrong
A familiar project mystery: valid payload, successful processing, unexpected business result.
In preparation
The editorial rule
The story matters only if the lesson travels.
Every article starts with something that happened on a project and ends with something another consultant can use. Client details stay anonymous. The practical lesson stays intact.
01No perfect-project fiction.
Mistakes are useful when we explain what caused them.
02Experience over theatre.
Less jargon. More context, decisions, and consequences.
About me
From end user
to senior consultant.
I am an SAP SD Senior Consultant with almost ten years of experience working with SAP. I started in 2016 as an end user, then became an analyst, followed by consultant and senior consultant roles.
My main area is SAP SD and Order-to-Cash. If you are familiar with SAP, you know that you can rarely focus solely on one area, as everything is interconnected. I have also dabbled in Logistics, Procure-to-Pay, Business Partner, FSCM, Record-to-Report, ABAP and PP. I have worked on implementations, rollouts, business transformations, support and training across industries ranging from food and consumer goods to media, construction, energy and logistics.
I care about the work I deliver and try to make decisions in the interest of the people who will eventually have to use and maintain the solution—because “technically working” and “actually useful” are not always the same thing.
SAP Consultant Insights is where I share practical lessons, project stories and the occasional consulting situation that would sound unrealistic if it had not actually happened. Please enjoy it, and feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn if you find my posts meaningful or would like to share your own stories with me.
