EDI and IDOC test strategy and execution
- Design and execute test scripts for inbound and outbound EDI transactions and their IDOC counterparts (for example ORDERS, ORDRSP, DESADV, INVOIC, SHPMNT, WHSCON)
- Validate segment and field level mapping between partner formats (ANSI X12, EDIFACT) and SAP IDOC structures
- Confirm control record, status record, and partner profile accuracy across message types
- Build and maintain regression suites for high volume, recurring partner flows
Interface and mapping validation
- Verify Seeburger mapping logic, translation rules, and acknowledgment handling (997, CONTRL) against functional specifications
- Confirm end to end data integrity from partner transmission through middleware to the S/4HANA document
- Validate error handling, reprocessing, and reconciliation paths for failed transmissions
- Test partner onboarding and repointing scenarios, including qualifier, ISA/GS envelope, and connectivity changes
Defect management and governance
- Log, triage, and track defects in SAP Cloud ALM with clear severity, reproduction steps, and evidence
- Perform root cause analysis with development, functional, and Seeburger integration teams
- Confirm retests and closure against documented expected results
- Maintain traceability from business process to test case to requirement to interface object
Test data and environment readiness
- Prepare representative master and transactional data for realistic EDI and IDOC scenarios
- Validate partner profiles, ports, RFC destinations, and output determination in the test client
- Confirm middleware connectivity and certificate validity before cycle start
- Support entrance and exit criteria validation for ST, IT, and UAT cycles aligned to SAP Activate
Monitoring and production support in a COE model
- Provide L2 and L3 QA support for EDI and IDOC incidents, defects, and service requests
- Use IDOC monitoring transactions (WE02, WE05, WE19, BD87) and Seeburger monitoring to isolate failures
- Support cutover, go live, and hypercare with interface validation and reconciliation
- Maintain test documentation, defect logs, and support runbooks for recurring interface issues
Quality and reporting
- Apply consistent test evidence standards so readiness is provable, not asserted
- Produce daily execution, defect aging, and interface readiness reporting for leadership visibility
- Contribute to regression and negative testing coverage across partner and document variations
