🧠 First 10 Things to Do If You Joined an SAP Support Project & No Proper KT Is Given

So, you just joined an SAP support project and… surprise — no proper Knowledge Transfer (KT) is happening.No one’s assigned to onboard you. Everyone’s busy. You’re expected to “figure it out.”

Sounds familiar? You’re not alone.

In the SAP world, joining a project without proper KT is common, but it doesn’t have to derail your confidence or growth.

Here are the first 10 things you should do immediately to get up to speed and build your credibility — even without hand-holding.

1️⃣ Build a Good Rapport with Colleagues & Seniors

Don’t sit silently.Introduce yourself, be polite, be visible, and ask smart questions.

✅ A friendly attitude opens more doors than technical skills alone.

2️⃣ Take System Access Seriously — It’s Your Responsibility

Don’t wait for someone to magically grant you access.

• Raise the access request tickets ASAP

• Follow up regularly until you get access to Dev, QA, and Prod systems

• Know your roles and authorization levels

🎯 No access = No learning = No work.

3️⃣ Hunt for Test Scripts & End-User Training Materials

Check internal portals, shared drives, or ask colleagues if there's any existing:

• Test scripts (UAT/SIT)

• User Manuals / SOPs

• Transaction flow diagrams

🧠 Use these to simulate end-to-end flows in the QA system.

4️⃣ Deep Dive into FS (Functional Specification) Documents

These docs are gold mines for learning:

• Understand enhancements, custom reports, or Z-programs

• Note down logic, tables, conditions

• Reproduce scenarios in the system

🔍 This gives you both technical insight and business context.

5️⃣ Review Business Blueprint Documents

Blueprints outline:

• Business processes

• Organizational structure

• Key pain points and proposed solutions

📘 Knowing the blueprint helps you answer client queries and resolve tickets faster.

6️⃣ Be Proactive — Don't Wait for KT, Ask for It!

This is where most consultants fail.If no one gives you KT, ask for it — repeatedly but respectfully.

• Send follow-up emails

• Ping on Teams/Slack for clarification

• Ask for recordings, decks, diagrams — anything!

💡 The more visible and persistent you are, the more support you'll eventually receive.

8️⃣ Shadow a Ticket — Even If It’s Not Assigned to You

Ask seniors if you can shadow ongoing tickets or help with documentation.

• You’ll learn how to talk to users

• Understand how issues are logged/resolved

• Get exposed to real issues, not just theoretical flows

🎓 Learning by observing is massively underrated.

9️⃣ Start Maintaining a “Ticket Diary”

Create your own mini knowledge base:

• Notes on issues

• T-codes used

• Functional areas impacted

• Solutions applied

📒 This becomes your reference and grows into a powerful cheat sheet over time.

🔟 Create Your Learning Timeline – Weekly Targets

Without direction, time gets wasted. Set:

• Weekly module targets (like learning contracts in MM or pricing in SD)

• Scenarios to replicate

• Notes to revise

• Skills to build (debugging, documentation, walkthroughs)

🎯 Treat your support role as a learning ground, not just a task center.
