Frequently asked questions

What does ERP MM cover?

It handles end-to-end procurement, inventory and material master data — the supply side of any enterprise.

Is MM in demand globally?

Yes, MM consultants are recruited heavily across the Middle East, Europe and India.

Do I need a supply chain background to join?

No. Procurement concepts are taught from first principles, though an operations or logistics background helps you move faster through the business process modules.

How much of the course is hands-on configuration?

Roughly two-thirds. You configure procurement org structures, run full procure-to-pay cycles, and build release strategies in a sandbox system rather than only studying screenshots.

Which roles can I apply for after this course?

Graduates typically target ERP MM consultant, procurement analyst, inventory systems specialist, and supply chain functional lead roles across manufacturing, retail, pharma and logistics.
