Course overview
Build understanding through guided instruction and serious practice.
Build practical, job-relevant capability through live instruction and structured independent practice.
Who this is for
Practical capability for the work ahead.
A Fiori-first, hands-on beginner course for aspiring procurement users, junior support analysts, and entry-level functional consultants. It prepares learners to execute, explain, validate, and troubleshoot the core procure-to-pay flow for stock and consumable purchasing: requisition, purchase order, goods receipt, and supplier invoice. It is not an implementation-configuration, MRP, sourcing-specialist, or certification-preparation course.
SAP modules
Subject areas covered in this course.
How learning works
A weekly cycle built around application.
Live instruction introduces and connects the material. Independent practice turns that material into usable capability.
Independent practice
Expect approximately three to four hours of structured practice for every hour of live instruction.
Trouble-ticket support
Show-stopping practice issues can be documented for instructor review, normally with a response within one to two business days.

Ready for the next session when: Learners can navigate to the relevant Fiori apps, distinguish organizational units, locate procurement-relevant master data, and explain which master-data defaults influence a purchase order.
2 From Requirement to Approved Purchase Order5 live hours · 16 practice hours

- Identify a price or quantity variance in supplied documents and determine whether the appropriate action is correction, return, credit, follow-up, or escalation.
- Explain the business meaning of GR/IR clearing and identify when an invoice or goods receipt has not yet been posted.
- Prepare a structured trouble ticket for one intentionally introduced receiving or invoice-processing show-stopper, including document number, app, steps, expected result, actual result, and screenshot.
