Hi,
The order the first guy gave you is misleading. It seems he
does not want to get into SAP. Obviously the order he gave
me was not correct.

If you are planning to move Traditional Finance to SAP FI,
first try to get a handle on SAP FI. So for the time being
just forget about Treasury. You will not be able to get a
grip on Treasury unless you are well versed with FI and CO.

So concentrate on this order

1.FI-G/L,A/P, A/R,Banking,Assets - FIND an SAP FI Job

2.Then get a handle on Materials Ledger and brief
introduction into SD, MM, HR, PP. (Do not have to master
it, but just understand the initial process of this modules
and how it interacts with FICO)

3.Then master CO- Product Costing, Internal Orders,COPA
etc. However mastering CO without a job in SAP FI is not an
easy task.

Mostly once you get a job in SAP FI you will figure out
what to do. So do not delay GET A JOB IN SAP FI. FORGET
ABOUT TREASURY.

OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO MASTER
EVERYTHING AND YOU WILL NEVER GET A SAP JOB
