FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is the SAP Academy for?
It's for the people who use SAP at work — key users, everyday users, and career changers — who want the processes explained in plain language instead of jargon. If you place purchase orders, post goods receipts, check invoices or maintain master data, this is written for you.
Is this SAP certification or exam preparation?
No. These are plain-language explainers of how SAP works in day-to-day use. There are no exam questions and no exam material here — just clear explanations of the processes and screens you actually meet at work.
Does it cost anything?
The articles and the email newsletter are free. If you want hands-on training or consulting for a whole team, that's a separate paid offer delivered through mb-ics.com — the free articles are simply the open part of that work.
Which SAP areas do the articles cover?
Mainly Materials Management — purchasing and procurement, inventory and stock, invoice verification, and master data — plus general topics like navigating Fiori and reading an end-to-end process. More topics are added over time.
Do I need my own SAP system or license to learn from this?
No. The articles explain concepts and processes you can read and understand without access to a system. If your employer gives you a SAP system, the explanations map directly onto what you see there.
