A SAP consultant is, mainly, the person responsible for implementing the SAP system for clients, making sure that it meets the client's specifications and business requirements. The job of a SAP consultant can be both challenging and rewarding. For those who are getting started with their careers as SAP consultants, it's important to understand the exact responsibilities and duties a SAP consultant is expected to undertake. Of course the role of a SAP consultant slightly differs from one module to another, but there are general responsibilities that a SAP consultant is expected to bear, regardless of the module her/she is specialized in. In the following, we mention some these responsibilities:
