Dear Friends, Hope every one is doing fine. i am sharing my SAP TM Certification experience in this article. first thing i would like to share is i am not having SAP TM experience/ hands-on experience and only had SAP ECC LE-WM, LE-SHP, LE-TRM, Yard Management experience, but with that experience i am able to corelate my knowledge in learning SAP TM (C_S4TM_2020). so in a Nutshell learning is not that much difficult but we need to give hard work in getting into concepts of SAP TM. this is for Newbies in SAP TM but not for experienced guys/Guru's in SAP TM. For SAP TM experienced Guys this is much easier to my understanding. but sure nothing is impossible before hard work. you can definitely score more than 80 % if you study for more than a month. for me it takes more than 3 months.. and if you are a good reader and having more skill in grasping the topics of interest then you can do preparation in a month of time.. that depends on individual. to my knowledge and experience we need to go through the topics S4TM1/TM2/TM3..etc for more than 5-6 times and then read free sample questions available in internet, please go through YouTube Videos and Udemy courses and model exam Q & A given in Udemy.. will help you to score more..
Please refer my YouTube Video for easy reference.
Questions were asked on the basis of SAP TM integration with SAP SD, SAP MM & SAP EWM. for example what setting needed in SAP TM for freight settlement document to generate Service entry sheet in SAP MM ? what relation or setting needed for any freight forwarding document transfer in SAP TM which impacts what document in SAP SD, Driver assignment, Driver management, Network diagrams, handling dangerous good in SAP TM, Charge Profile, profile/config related questions..
