ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a hands-on Consultant / Subject Matter Expert engagement supporting an enterprise client’s live SAP IBP Supply workplace. The scope covers configuration, enhancement and troubleshooting across Order-Based Planning and/or Time Series Supply, integrated with SAP S/4HANA via RTI or CPI-DS.
This is not a solution architecture or programme leadership role. The client’s technical evaluation is deliberately hands-on: candidates are tested on configuration detail — specific profiles, transactions and tabs — rather than on approach, governance or stakeholder management. Candidates who answer at a design-authority level, however experienced, have not converted at this client.

CRITICAL DIFFERENTIATOR — READ BEFORE SUBMITTING
"SAP IBP" as a bare CV skill line is not enough for this client. Every submission must show module-level detail: which specific IBP Supply modules the candidate has configured (Order-Based Planning, Time Series Supply, Response & Supply), what they personally built — planning run profiles, cost strategy profiles, source of supply, deployment,



RTI integration models — and how recent that hands-on work is.
Profiles built mainly on SAP APO experience with SAP IBP mentioned only in passing are being filtered out at interview regardless of total years of experience. Do not submit on the strength of a skill tag alone — confirm module-level depth at pre-screen first.

TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED

Source of supply configuration, forecast consumption (backward/forward periods), pegging, and sourcing ratio setup — and able to clearly distinguish source of supply from transportati
