The Opportunity: The Master data specialist will work on Material management for Services business
How you'll make an impact:
- Execute the four-pattern info records cleansing
- Pattern A: Refresh pricing conditions on info records — net price, scales, validity dates, currency — using ME11 / ME12 and supporting transactions.
- Pattern B: Rebuild source lists (EORD) where MRP signals are mis-routed or where contract sources are missing.
- Pattern C: Restore contract linkage were info records reference orphaned or expired outline agreements.
- Pattern D: Execute end-to-end source-to-pay alignment for material x vendor combinations where multiple breaks compound.
Run vendor master and source list cleanup
- Cleanse vendor master records across LFA1, LFM1, LFB1, including purchasing org data, partner functions, and tax / payment terms.
- Validate vendor data against external sources and resolve duplicates.
- Maintain EORD source list discipline — quota arrangements, validity, blocked indicators, MRP relevance.
Resolve cross-domain breaks end-to-end
- Diagnose where an info records issue originates — material master, vendor master, pricing master, or contract data — and resolve at the right node.
- Pair with the Material Master Specialist when generic part numbers, archetype changes, or unit-of-measure issues are upstream of the info records defect.
Close gates and sustain
- Operate Process Runner, Precisely Automate Studio, and MASS for high-volume info records and vendor updates.
- Maintain the Defect Register for procurement domain; feed coverage %, defect rate, and cycle-time inputs into the KPI Dashboard.
- Sign off Exit Gate Checklists at the three Definition of Done levels.
- Hand off sustainment patterns to BAU when a pattern wave clears target DOD
Your background:
- Experience: 8+ years hands-on SAP master data execution, with documented volume — personally cleared thousands of info records or vendor records in prior cleanup programs.
- End-to-end domain knowledge: Working understanding of how master data flows across all six domains and how procurement data depends on material, vendor, pricing, and contract foundations.
- Procurement depth: Fluent across EINE, EINA, EORD, LFA1, LFM1, LFB1, contract / outline agreement structures, pricing condition tables (A-tables).
- Transaction fluency: ME11 / ME12, ME01 / ME02 (source list), ME31K / ME32K (contracts), XK01 / XK02, MASS, MDG_SW, SE16N — used daily.
- Mass maintenance tooling: Hands-on with Process Runner, Precisely Automate Studio, or LSMW for info records and vendor updates.
- Investigation skill: Comfortable running working sessions with Procurement, Sourcing, and Engineering SMEs to resolve ambiguous price, source, or contract structures.
- Bias to action: Energized by high-volume execution. Closes records, not tickets.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with strategic sourcing artifacts — outline agreements, scheduling agreements, framework contracts — and how they feed info records.

- Experience with sourcing across US and Canada including tax / customs / duty data.
- Background in industrial, capital equipment, or power generation procurement.
