POSITION DESCRIPTION

Senior SAP S/4HANA Functional Consultant

Core functional capability

You bring hands-on SAP Retail depth plus strong expertise in at least two of SD, MM, WM and EWM, with

credible integration and troubleshooting across the remaining areas.

SAP Retail / IS-Retail

• Retail organizational and master-data design, including site, article/product, merchandise category,

article hierarchy, assortment, listing, units of measure and relevant Business Partner dependencies.

• Retail procurement, source determination, replenishment or allocation, stock transport, store/DC

movements, returns and intercompany flows were active.

• Retail pricing and promotions, markdowns, condition technique and POS inbound/outbound or sales-

audit touchpoints to the extent used in landscape.

• High-volume retail interfaces and batch operations, with disciplined monitoring and recovery during

peak trading and period-end activity.

Sales and Distribution (SD)

• Order-to-cash document flow: inquiry/quotation where used, sales order, availability, delivery,

warehouse execution, post goods issue, billing, returns and cancellations.

• Sales document types, item and schedule-line behavior, copy control, partner determination,

incompletion, text, status and output analysis.

• Pricing conditions, taxes as configured, account-determination touchpoints, promotions/free goods,

blocks, credit checks and ATP capabilities were active.

• Integration with SAP Retail, MM/IM, WM/EWM, Finance and confirmed external interfaces.

Materials Management and Inventory Management (MM/IM)

• Supplier Business Partner, article/material master, purchasing info records, source lists, quota

arrangements and related master-data dependencies.

• Procure-to-pay requisition, approval/flexible workflow, purchase order, inbound delivery where used,

goods receipt, invoice-verification touchpoints, returns and reversals.

• Purchasing document types, account assignment, tolerance/message analysis, movement types, stock

categories, transfer postings, reservations, STOs and physical inventory.

• Batch/serial handling, valuation and automatic account-determination touchpoints, MRP, planning

areas and replenishment at the depth required by active processes.

Warehouse Management and Extended Warehouse Management (WM/EWM)

• Clear understanding of classic LE-WM versus SAP EWM, including embedded and decentralized

deployment implications for support and integration.

• Warehouse structure and master data: warehouse numbers, storage types/bins, activity areas, work

centers, warehouse views and related product data.

• Inbound, outbound, internal movement, replenishment, posting change, returns, physical inventory

and exception handling.

• Warehouse process type determination, storage processes, putaway/removal strategies, warehouse

order creation rules and waves where active.

• Handling units, batches, serials, stock types, delivery integration, RF, printers/labels, packaging and

safe recovery using EWM Monitor, logs and queues. Diagnose before reprocessing. Never rely on

unsupported direct table updates.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Support, migration and technical capability

• Migration Cockpit. Hands-on use of the Migrate Your Data app, staging-table/direct-transfer concepts,

migration objects, mappings, simulations, corrections, results, reconciliation and closure.

• Legacy load tools. Practical LTMC and LSMW experience for relevant older projects. You understand

release limitations and deprecation, and select a tool based on supported design, not habit.

• Data governance. Source profiling, cleansing, duplicate management, mapping ownership, mock loads,

control totals, rejected-record handling, audit trail, cutover sequencing, correction/rollback and

business sign-off.

• SAP support toolkit. Confident with SAP GUI and Fiori, basic Fiori/OData triage, document flow and

SM13, SMQ1/SMQ2, WE02/WE05, SU53 and /SCWM/MON.

• Interfaces and jobs. Sound understanding of IDoc, RFC/qRFC, API/OData, background jobs, workflow,

output management, forms, printing and label dependencies.

• Controlled delivery. Able to read functional traces, errors, tables/views and debug evidence well

enough to write precise functional specifications and coordinate with ABAP/data specialists on BAPIs,

IDocs, APIs, ETL or custom migration objects.

• Governance and access. Strong transport discipline, segregation of duties, production-access control,

evidence-based change governance and consistent ticket/knowledge-management practices.
