Project Type: SAP System Conversion and Transportation Management Implementation
Engagement: Contract

We are seeking an experienced Senior SAP TM & WM Analyst to support a system conversion and transportation transformation programme, transitioning transportation processes currently managed through SAP Shipment functionality in SAP ECC to SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) within the target SAP S/4

HANA landscape.

The successful candidate will provide functional expertise across SAP TM, SAP WM, Stock Room Management and Logistics Execution, supporting solution design, configuration, integration, testing, deployment and post-go-live stabilisation.

The role will involve assessing existing ECC transportation processes, defining the target-state solution, configuring SAP TM for transportation planning, execution and freight settlement, and ensuring seamless integration with SAP SD, MM, Logistics Execution, Finance and relevant warehouse processes.

SAP Warehouse Management and Stock Room Management experience is essential. SAP EWM experience alone will not meet the warehouse management requirement.

• Design and implement an integrated transportation solution within the target SAP S/4
  
  HANA environment.
• Ensure seamless integration between SAP TM, SAP WM/Stock Room Management, Logistics Execution and relevant SAP application modules.
• Align transportation master data, freight order management, planning strategies and charge calculation structures with SAP TM best practices.
• Assess existing custom developments, interfaces and business processes, identifying opportunities for standardisation and simplification.
• Support data migration, testing, cutover and deployment while minimising disruption to business-critical logistics operations.
• Facilitate the controlled decommissioning of legacy ECC shipment processes following successful implementation and business validation.

• Review existing SAP ECC Shipment configuration, transportation processes, custom developments and interfaces.
• Document current-state business processes, system dependencies and integration touchpoints.
• Assess gaps between existing ECC Shipment functionality and the target SAP TM solution.
• Identify process changes, functional dependencies, risks and opportunities for standard SAP functionality.
• Contribute to project planning, workstream estimates, delivery timelines and implementation activities.
• Engage with business stakeholders, solution architects, developers and technical teams to establish functional requirements.

• Participate in blueprinting, requirements-gathering and solution design workshops.
• Design and configure SAP TM processes covering transportation planning, execution and freight settlement.
• Define and maintain transportation master data, including locations, business partners, transportation lanes, resources and relevant planning data.
• Design freight unit building, freight order creation, transportation planning strategies and planning profiles as applicable to the solution.
• Configure freight order management, carrier allocation, tendering and execution processes where required.
• Support freight agreement configuration, charge calculation, rate determination and settlement processes.
• Define mappings between legacy shipment documents and target TM objects, including freight units and freight orders.
• Ensure the solution aligns with business requirements, SAP standards and the target S/4
  
  HANA architecture.

• Provide strong functional expertise in SAP WM configuration, design and operational processes.
• Support warehouse and stock room process integration with transportation planning and execution.
• Analyse and validate goods issue, goods receipt, delivery processing, stock movements and related logistics execution activities.
• Assess dependencies between warehouse operations, outbound and inbound deliveries, transportation planning and shipment execution.
• Ensure relevant warehouse and logistics data is available and consistent across integrated SAP…
