Be aware that:
• You need to perform a separate “Copy” function for Certification Name, Certification Authority,

are the same

profile.

STEP 3: GET THE LATEST GLOBAL CERTIFICATION DIGITAL BADGE
SAP Global Certification digital badges will be issued to certified professionals on the latest available
software release date. The digital badge will carry the year of the product release availability. For
product release availability dates that occur after October 1 and later, the digital badges will carry the
date of the following year.
If parallel core certifications are available, digital badges will be issued for the new release only.
Digital badges for older certifications expire following the overall retirement policy for certification as follows:
• Certification without “Stay Current Process”
A new SAP Global Certification digital badge is issued for passing a new core certification
exam. Expiration of the digital badge follows the overall retirement policy.
• Certification with “Stay Current Process”
A new SAP Global Certification digital badge is issued when “stayed current” within a defined
timeframe that depends on the solution. If the earner does not stay current in time, the existing digital
badge expires. The earner must then complete a new core certification to earn a digital badge.
• Certification without defined new release and no “Stay Current Process” (SAP Global Certification
digital badge is still valid)
An SAP Global Certification digital badge expires as soon as a new release date is set. This change is
automatically communicated to the earner through the SAP Credential Manager site.
