As mentioned in the SAP page it says This certificate proves that the candidate has an overall understanding within the SAP Ariba Procurement application consultant profile and can implement this knowledge practically in projects under the guidance of an experienced consultant. Being a cloud product, it surely limits the ability to allow for customization and development when I compare it to its complementary product SAP SRM. So the best value of getting certified is when you have actually managed to be in a project or if a certification can land you a job in doing Ariba implementation or as a pre-sales consultant.Ĭurrent certification in P2p though will give you a basic know-how is not essentially a deep dive of how a system admin will manage the system. However, most of the people who give the certification are hoping to get some opportunity after they are able to clear the exam. In order to gain a good understanding of the certification, it will be helpful if you have worked on an Ariba implementation/ Support project which will make more sense to you when you browse through the material. Its always good to be certified but sometimes you do not quite understand the actual benefit of the tool and product that you are going to study. Hence it is important that the entire learning room map be carefully read to cover the entire syllabus What do you gain practically?

However, the books just constitute around less than 24% of the course. There are 3 main books 510, 520 and 530 which are available as handbooks as well as E-Books in learning hub. Below are some of the links I found useful.Įnsure you download the practice exam PDF from the link above. I have alongside worked on Integration and implementation of Ariba solution to the existing SAP systems and that also helped me a lot and is recommended if you would want to maximize your learning but is not mandatory as the documents provide you a good enough understanding to clear the exam. In all, the content which was provided gives you a fair idea of what the Ariba software does and how you can leverage and use it for your customers. I would like to share my experience of preparation for the Ariba certification so others who are looking to do the same can benefit. I have worked on Ariba projects back in time when it was not an SAP company and now again when it an SAP company and is greatly pitched by SAP to its clients so may be of an interest to all those working in the P2P area.

I have been in SAP consulting since last 8+ years and from SRM now to Ariba seemed like a natural progression.
