YOUR LEARNING JOURNEY

A structured programme. Room for your priorities.

These modules form the core programme. Where useful, we refine the emphasis, examples and learning activities to reflect your professional context, starting point and objectives.

01

Navigate SAP S/4HANA and SAP Fiori

Connect your job responsibilities with an end-to-end business process. Learn to locate apps, search records, filter lists and inspect document status. Distinguish the training environment from a production system and practise within the permissions and SAP edition agreed for your programme.

02

Understand master data and organisational structures

Explore how business partners, products and organisational units support transactions. Check essential fields, recognise inconsistent records and understand why data quality matters. Work with sample data to avoid duplicate entries and communicate corrections to the responsible team.

03

From purchasing need to purchase order

Translate a purchasing request into the information required for processing. Practise the agreed requisition and purchase-order steps, check quantities, delivery dates and commercial terms, and follow approval status. Understand the handover between the requester, purchasing and the supplier.

04

Goods receipt, inventory and invoice checks

Follow a delivery through receipt and document verification. Compare the purchase order, goods receipt and supplier invoice, identify quantity or price differences and record the next action. Interpret relevant stock information and discuss when to involve logistics or finance.

05

From customer request to sales order

Work through an example customer requirement, quotation and sales order according to the configured exercise scope. Check customer and product information, prices, quantities and delivery expectations. Trace the relationship between documents and identify information that needs clarification before processing.

06

Delivery, billing and customer follow-up

Follow the operational stages between order confirmation, delivery and billing. Read document flow and status information, identify incomplete or blocked items and prepare a clear response for the relevant team. Discuss common adjustments and the limits of your authorisation.

07

Reports, worklists and operational controls

Use the available lists and reports to find open orders, late deliveries or incomplete documents. Choose useful filters, interpret the results and prioritise follow-up. Build a simple control checklist that links each issue to an owner and a documented next step.

08

Role-based practical case and assessment

Complete a connected business scenario in the agreed practice environment. Explain your choices, verify document consistency and resolve selected errors with feedback. Finish with a personal operating guide and an action plan for transferring the skills to your work.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions, answered.

Who is this programme for?

Commercial employees, administrative assistants and purchasing, sales or logistics staff who want to use SAP S/4HANA in their daily work. Suitable for individuals building operational skills and companies preparing teams for new processes or responsibilities. The programme is available to private individuals and organisations, including company teams. OSAM welcomes learners living or working in Switzerland as well as international participants joining live online.

How is this qualification recognised?

OSAM is an eduQua-certified continuing education institution. An OSAM certificate documents the learning agreed for your programme; eduQua is a quality label for the institution, not federal recognition of every individual course.

OSAM’s work connects individual professional development with the needs of companies in Switzerland and internationally. Client references and learner reviews below offer a practical view of that work.

What are the benefits of this programme?

You develop skills you can apply in real situations, with guidance from experienced practitioners and access to learning materials on the OSAM platform. The programme focuses on these outcomes:

  • Find the relevant SAP Fiori apps and business documents for your role.
  • Check customer, supplier and product information before processing a transaction.
  • Follow a purchase from requisition and order through receipt and invoice checks.
  • Process a sales case from customer order to delivery and billing in the agreed practice system.
  • Identify missing data, blocked documents and issues that require escalation.
  • Use status reports and a practical checklist to make everyday follow-up more reliable.
Can the programme be personalised?

Yes. We start with the established programme and refine the emphasis, practical cases and learning support where useful. Adjustments take account of the individual or company’s professional context, existing skills and goals. The agreed programme is confirmed before enrolment; federal examination requirements remain binding where applicable.

What are the entry requirements?

For the OSAM certificate, contact us to review your current level, prior experience and objectives. We will confirm the appropriate entry requirements and any recommended preparation.

Will I practise in an actual SAP environment?

The programme is designed around hands-on work in an SAP training environment. Before enrolment, your proposal confirms the edition, available functions, access period, licences and any associated costs. Access may be arranged through an appropriate licensed system or your organisation’s authorised training environment; access to a production system is not required.

Does this course lead to an official SAP certification?

The agreed OSAM pathway leads to an OSAM certificate subject to its assessment requirements. This is distinct from an official SAP certification. A SAP examination, voucher or certification preparation is not included unless separately specified in the proposal.

What knowledge do I need before starting?

Basic computer confidence and familiarity with commercial processes are useful. No programming is required for this operational course. We assess your starting point and the responsibilities you want to take on, then confirm the prerequisites and appropriate level before enrolment.

Can the course match our company’s SAP configuration?

Yes, the examples and emphasis can reflect your role and processes. SAP screens, permissions and workflows vary by edition and configuration. We agree which differences to cover and whether an authorised company training system or anonymised process examples can be used.
