SAP Certified - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Financial Accounting (C_TS4FI) Courses

Validates practical skills in configuring SAP S/4HANA financial accounting, including company codes, payables, receivables and asset accounting.

C_TS4FI_2601 is a three-hour hands-on exam in a live S/4HANA system, so a good course has to give you practice-system time and tasks, not only theory. We compared the options on how well they match the exam, hands-on practice and price.

Start with SAP's free Implementing Financial Accounting in SAP S/4HANA learning journey, which is built for this exam, and book practice-system time. Use the Pougkas certification guide only as a concept reference, since it was written for the older multiple-choice exam.

How to choose a SAP Certified - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, Financial Accounting course

  • Match the hands-on exam. You complete configuration and posting tasks in a live system for three hours, with no multiple-choice questions. A course that only explains concepts will not prepare you.
  • Get practice-system time. SAP's learning journey is free to browse, but its exercises need a practice system. SAP's $276 exam bundle adds 10 practice hours to two exam attempts.
  • Cover every task area. The exam spans general ledger, payables, receivables, asset accounting and closing. SAP's journey covers all of these.
  • Spend most of your hours in the system. Plan for about 90 hours, and keep most of them in the practice system rather than reading.
