Project description

The client is looking for an experienced SAP TM functional consultant to support the configuration and day-to-day operation of SAP Transportation Management, which manages physical freight movement. The consultant will work as an integrated member of the client’s Application Management Services (AMS) team, owning functional support and continuous improvement of the logistics processes in SAP. The position addresses ongoing scarcity and attrition in this skill set, so the consultant should be able to ramp up quickly and provide continuity beyond the initial placement.

Responsibilities

Provide L2/L3 functional support for SAP TM, including incident analysis, root-cause investigation, and resolution within agreed SLAs.

Support core freight execution processes: freight unit building (including truck load building), freight order management, shipment creation and scheduling, shipment appointments, and freight settlement.

Maintain and configure TM functionality: organizational units, transportation zones, locations and resources, planning profiles, business rules (BRF+), freight agreements and carrier selection, and output management.

Support transportation planning and optimization, including carrier tendering and freight booking.

Maintain integration points between TM and surrounding SAP components (SD, MM, FI/CO, EWM where applicable) and with external carriers and logistics partners via EDI, IDocs, or APIs.

Analyze and deliver change requests and enhancements, including functional specifications, configuration documentation, and test case preparation.

Support upgrades, support packages, and release testing for the TM scope, including regression testing and business validation.





Document processes and configurations to reduce key-person dependency.

Work with business process owners, logistics stakeholders, and the client’s IT team across time zones.
