  Hey @sindhuchowary !. Don't worry you'r getting a good profile. first lemme brief you about SAP. You may be well versed with it.
  
  SAP (Systems Applications and Products) is the world’s leading provider of business software which specializes in industry specific Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions.
  It is implemented in 9 out of every 10 Fortune 500 company.
  You'll be handling the role of SAP Associate , SAP Consultant in your organisation .
  
  
  Various Modules available in SAP are
  
  1. Technical Modules :- ABAP, BASIS
  
  2. Functional Modules:- Human Resource, CRM, BI, Sales & Distribution, Material Management, Plant Maintenance, FICO, Production Planning,
  
  Types of SAP Consultant
  
  
  1) Business/Sales consultant - They try to win projects at customer end – without knowing much about SAP
  
  
  2) SAP Functional Consultant – The are responsible for customizing SAP as per customer demand. They talk with developers to code custom ABAP programs as per client requirements.
  
  3) Developer consultant – They are responsible for coding ABAP/Java Programs
  
  4) SAP Basis consultant – They help in installing , maintenance and performance tuning of SAP servers and databases
  
  
  Above are the major consulting roles found in almost all SAP projects. Depending on the nature and size of project there may be other consulting roles as well such as SAP security consultant, SAP Techno-functional consultants etc.
  
  
  Try Getting Technical Roles (SAP ABAP or SAP Basis) .
  
  P.S. SAP consultants enjoy a premium remuneration over their IT counterparts 😁
  
  
  P.S. II: First check which module are you getting into & then start learning it.

  Having worked in SAP Sales and Distribution module as a functional consultant, let me assure you that it is a promising career option.
  
  #-Link-Snipped-# has given really good information about the basic. That's all you need to know if you're about to begin your training.
  
  To learn using SAP, you will have to practice it only in your workspace. SAP is a LOT about knowledge of the functional domain. You'll find that most people working in SAP's functional side have prior industry experience.
  For example - Someone who is working in SAP Finance might have a background as a CA or might come from a banking related company.
  
  Only when you know what can go wrong in a particular section of the company (i.e. Human Resource, CRM, BI, Sales & Distribution, Material Management, Plant Maintenance, FICO, Production Planning) can one understand how it is implemented in SAP and how to solve it.
  
  If you do get into the technical side of it i.e. ABAP, it would mean fixing codes, writing programs that build a SAP module and such.
  
  Let us know what you get or what you choose and we'll discuss it further.
