Position Overview

The SAP Project System Functional Consultant leads the Project System deep dive and Blueprint workshop for the Lockheed Martin SOF GLSS engagement within SAP S/4HANA 2023 on-premise. The engagement objective is to improve the Project System configuration so that Integrated Master Schedules maintained in the program scheduling tool can be uploaded into and reconciled against SAP project structures, enabling Task Order status reporting and project data collection from the system of record rather than from manually assembled spreadsheets.

This consultant owns the functional design of the Task Order project and WBS architecture, the network and activity structure that carries the Integrated Master Schedule thread, the schedule interface and reconciliation rules, and the Project System Progress Analysis configuration that turns production and procurement execution into measured project progress. The consultant facilitates the Project System deep dive and Blueprint sessions with program management, project controls, scheduling, and finance personnel, and authors the resulting Functional Description Documents.

Key Responsibilities

Project System Architecture and Design

• Design the Task Order project and WBS architecture, including project definition, coding mask, WBS templates, and standard project structures that mirror the Task Order, CLIN, and SLIN funding hierarchy so each new Task Order inherits a consistent cost-collecting structure.
• Design the network, activity, and milestone structure that carries the Integrated Master Schedule thread in SAP.
• Define the level at which Integrated Master Schedule activities map to Project System network activities and WBS elements.
• Configure Project System scheduling, including network scheduling parameters, scheduling types, relationships, constraints, reduction strategies, and factory calendar assignment, so imported Integrated Master Schedule logic schedules correctly in SAP.

Schedule Interface and Reconciliation

• Configure the schedule interface that loads and refreshes Integrated Master Schedules into Project System.
• Evaluate Open PS, Microsoft Project integration, project connector, and file-based upload options.
• Define field mapping, key strategy, and re-import rules that keep SAP and the external Integrated Master Schedule synchronized without duplicate maintenance.
• Define reconciliation rules governing which system owns dates, network logic, and status.
• Design exception reporting that surfaces divergence between the uploaded Integrated Master Schedule and SAP-scheduled dates.

Progress Analysis and Project Data Collection

• Configure Project System Progress Analysis, including progress versions, measurement methods such as milestone technique, degree of processing, and quantity or cost proportionality, statistical key figures, and progress determination for orders assigned to WBS elements.
• Establish assignment of production orders, purchase requisitions, and purchase orders to WBS elements.
• Configure order type settings that make production order progress measurable from Project System.
• Design the project data collection architecture covering actual cost capture, labor confirmation, material consumption against project stock, commitment management, and period-end automation of overhead calculation, results analysis, and settlement.

Budget, Cost Control, and Reporting

• Configure planning and budget profiles, budget availability control tolerances, and settlement rules so funds discipline and cost flow are enforced at the correct WBS level.
• Define the Task Order reporting set, including project structure, cost and schedule reporting, milestone trend analysis, and Fiori and CDS-based analytical content that replaces manually assembled status reporting.

Documentation, Workshops, and Client Enablement

• Author Functional Description Documents, configuration workbooks, functional specifications, and UAT test scripts.
• Maintain the decision and open item log for each assigned workstream.
• Facilitate onsite Project System deep dive and Blueprint sessions with program management, project controls, scheduling, production planning, and finance personnel.
• Enable client staff to operate and sustain the design following implementation.

Process Compliance and Additional Support

• Adhere to all certified processes as part of the commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and information security.
• Actively participate in quality assurance activities.
• Ensure protection of sensitive information in accordance with security policies.
• Perform other related tasks within the agreed scope of services.
