Functional, technical or HR: what the types mean

Functional modules (FICO, MM, PP, QM, Ariba) configure business processes. No coding is required; domain knowledge matters most.
Technical modules (ABAP, BASIS, BTP) build, run and extend the SAP platform. Programming, systems or cloud skills help.
HR modules (HCM, SuccessFactors) manage the employee lifecycle and payroll, on premise or in the cloud.

How to choose your SAP module

Start with what you already know: finance graduates usually do well in FICO, engineers in MM, PP or QM, IT graduates in ABAP, BASIS or BTP, and HR professionals in HCM or SuccessFactors. Our step-by-step guide to choosing an SAP module walks through the decision, and the Career Guides section covers certification, salaries and the 2026 roadmap.
