SAP is an ERP package which most of the big companies are using for their business solutions. There is no need for SAP certification for a CA because the company u work for provides you training in whatevar software they use. Also not all companies use SAP,there are many other softwares developed by many companies which are used like by oracle. Concentrate on your studies and become a CA first,this is all secondary..

SAP Stands for System Analaysis and Products for Data Processing

I agree with others First Preference is to complete CA

Yes ofcourse our Institute offers Trianining on completion of the exam U get Certification directly from SAP Germany

Yes CA with SAP Certification fetches You good job in reputed companies like IBM

This is one of the excellent ERP Package available in the market

There are two Packages one for small and medium sized Companies i.e SAP Business One which costs only 10 Lakhs and one for Large Enterprises

Once You become Certified and offered a good job in reputed companies hectic travel is inevitable due to projects where client places are located

It is difficult to work in ERP especially the Controlling part of it

I am complete agree with these points. But there still a question of "Growth". So here you have two option either you can wait for the opertunirty anyone company teach you SAP or go ahead take the opertunity. After one time small investment you can earn double. The best thing you have experinece and with SAP certfication it has become cherry on top of Sundae. Choice is your.

BTW I heard that, JKT SAP Academy offers golden opportunity to the employees of IBM/Linde /PWC. Enroll for ILT Batch and get an ipad free and for registering for OLT Batch get a blackberry curve 8310 free of cost.
