Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement — answered in short.
SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement validates practical knowledge of standard procurement processes in SAP S/4HANA.

For companies, it signals that the freelancer can work on real procurement tasks in SAP terms.
No. This certification is tied specifically to SAP S/4HANA sourcing and procurement, so it is narrower than a general procurement background. A freelancer who holds it should understand both procurement concepts and how they are executed in the SAP environment.
SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement is a good fit for SAP consultants, application support specialists, and business analysts who work with purchasing processes.

A candidate should already understand basic procurement concepts and have some familiarity with SAP S/4HANA business processes.

For this certification, employers usually care less about a fixed date and more about whether the holder still works with current SAP S/4HANA procurement processes. Recent project experience helps confirm that the knowledge is still active.
