About

The SAP Certified Application Associate — Business Process Integration with SAP S/4HANA (C_TS410) validates foundational knowledge of end-to-end business process design, integration, and configuration across SAP S/4HANA core modules. This certification was the entry-level credential for aspiring SAP functional consultants and business analysts from 2018 until January 1, 2025, when SAP retired the exam in favor of the cloud-native successor C_IEE2E. The C_TS410 remains valuable for organizations still running on-premise S/4HANA 1909 and 2020 releases.

Retirement notice

This certification has been retired effective January 1, 2025. SAP no longer administers C_TS410 exams or publishes new course materials. The successor is C_IEE2E (SAP Certified Associate — Implementation Consultant) — aligned to S/4HANA Cloud.

Professionals already holding C_TS410 credentials remain certified; renewal is by retaking the higher-level module-specific certifications (C_TS450, C_TS460, etc.) or transitioning to C_IEE2E.

Practice exams

Note: Many practice exam vendors have archived or deprioritized C_TS410 materials since the Jan 1, 2025 retirement. Focus on resources explicitly dated 2024 or later, or transition to C_IEE2E practice materials.

Books

Book rule: The Adivar guide (2021) is the most current and aligns with exam versions 2020 and 2504. The Szymanski guide covers the original TS410 1909 release but remains foundationally sound. Both have been superseded by C_IEE2E study materials; if acquiring for legacy system support, verify the S/4HANA release version (1909, 2020, 2021, 2022) matches your implementation.

Salary

Salary note: C_TS410 certification alone does not guarantee salary; earnings depend heavily on module specialization (FI/CO, SD, MM, PP), years of post-cert experience, geographic market, and industry sector (finance > manufacturing > public sector). Module-specific certifications (e.g., C_TS450 Financial Accounting) typically command 10–20% higher salaries.
