**Key Responsibilities**
SAP BTP Platform (Integration Layer)
SAP Integration Suite (formerly CPI) — iFlow design and configuration for all external system integrations
BN4L connectivity setup: carrier collaboration flows, freight order tendering, tracking event consumption, carrier portal provisioning
Event Mesh configuration for real-time event-driven patterns (delivery confirmation ? billing trigger, carrier status ? TM event update)
API Management setup for REST/OData endpoints used by carrier portals, mobile apps, and third-party systems
BTP subaccount architecture, IDP/SSO configuration for external carrier users
Carrier EDI Integration
EDI message mapping and testing: 204 (Load Tender), 990 (Response), 214 (Shipment Status), 210 (Freight Invoice)
EDI partner profile configuration per carrier — message format validation, acknowledgment handling, error/exception workflow
Coordination with carrier IT departments during integration testing — you will be on calls with carrier EDI teams troubleshooting message failures
External System Integration
FourKites / project44 ? SAP TM: real-time GPS tracking event consumption via BN4L connector, ETA updates, and exception alerting
PC Miler and SClient3: distance/duration determination service integration (API calls via BTP or direct connection)
Technical Foundation
System landscape management: dev, quality, production environment setup coordination with Basis
Transport management for TM configuration objects
Performance analysis for high-volume batch processing (CONA processes 160,000 daily sales orders — TM background jobs for planning, tendering, and settlement must handle this throughput)
Technical troubleshooting across the full integration chain — you’re the escalation point when something breaks between systems
**Must-Have Experience**
2 SAP TM implementations with significant integration responsibility — not just TM-internal config, but building the bridges between TM and surrounding systems
DRFOUT master data replication setup between S/4HANA and decentral TM — hands-on experience with replication models, filters, and error handling
SAP BTP Integration Suite (CPI) — iFlow development, message mapping, error handling, and monitoring. This is the middleware backbone and you must be fluent in it.
EDI integration for carrier communication — X12 message mapping (204/990/214/210), partner profile configuration, and end-to-end testing with live carriers
SOAP/XI and RFC-based integration patterns between SAP systems
Experience with at least one external system integration in a TM context (visibility platform, load optimizer, map provider, or WMS)
Debugging skills across the integration chain — you need to trace a failed transaction from the originating system through middleware to the target system, identify the break point, and fix it
Understanding of SAP transport management and system landscape architecture
**Highly Preferred**
BN4L (Business Network for Logistics) technical setup — carrier tenant provisioning, document exchange configuration, tracking event mapping
Blue Yonder integration experience — any flavor (API, file-based, middleware-orchestrated). Understanding the load plan data model is a significant advantage.
FourKites, project44, or Descartes integration via API or BN4L connector
SAP Event Management technical configuration — event handlers, rules, expected events, and event-to-action linkage
PC Miler or SClient3 API integration — geocoding, distance matrix calls, and response caching (DDD buffer table)
Performance tuning for SAP TM batch jobs — parallelization, job scheduling, and throughput optimization for high-volume environments
ABAP debugging capability (for analyzing existing custom code during regression testing — not for new Z-development)
REST/OData API development and API Management configuration on BTP
Experience with RISE with SAP migration considerations — ensuring integration patterns are cloud-ready
Beverage, CPG, or high-volume distribution industry experience
For offshore resources: overlap availability with US Eastern Time (minimum 4 hours daily).
