Job Title: SAP S/4 HANA e PPDS Functional Consultant / Lead
Role Objective
The SAP e PPDS Consultant will drive the design, implementation, and optimization of advanced planning and finite scheduling solutions. You will be responsible for transitioning legacy APO-PPDS or manual planning processes into the S/4 HANA Embedded PP/DS setting to achieve synchronized, real-time production visibility.
Key Responsibilities
Solution Design & Architecture: Lead "Fit-to-Standard" workshops to align business requirements with SAP Best Practices. Design end-to-end planning cycles from Long-Term Planning to Shop Floor Execution.
Configuration & Implementation: Set up Advanced Planning parameters in Material Master and Resource Master. Configure Heuristics , Optimization Profiles , and Strategy Profiles for finite scheduling. Implement Alert Monitors and Exception Management workflows. ws.
Integration (CIF & Beyond): Manage the integration of master data (PDS, Resources) via the Core Interface (CIF) or the newer simplified S/4 HANA integration modes.
Detailed Scheduling: Design and configure the Detailed Scheduling Planning Board (DSPB) and the newer Fiori-based "Monitor Production Scheduling Board."
