ECC to S/4HANA Conversion Project
Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior SAP QM Functional Consultant to support an ECC to S/4HANA conversion project. This role contributes across all project phases—from discovery through hypercare—and requires proven S/4HANA migration experience and deep knowledge of Quality Management processes and SAP QM simplifications, including changes to inspection lot processing, quality notifications, and integration with the S/4HANA quality architecture.
Project Responsibilities
Migration & Conversion
- Lead fit-gap analysis for QM processes; document delta requirements and identify S/4HANA simplification impacts (changes to quality info records, simplifications in usage decision, batch classification changes, integration changes with MM goods movements and SD deliveries).
- Evaluate conversion implications for open inspection lots, quality notifications, and quality certificates.
- Map and validate QM configuration objects: inspection types, inspection plans, master inspection characteristics, sampling procedures, dynamic modification rules, defect codes, and catalog profiles.
- Support QM master data migration: inspection plans, quality info records, and master inspection characteristics using SAP Migration Cockpit or LSMW; validate completeness and accuracy.
- Review and resolve SPDD/SPAU items related to QM customizations.
- Identify QM custom enhancements requiring S/4HANA compatibility remediation; coordinate with ABAP team.
Design & Configuration
- Configure S/4HANA QM including inspection planning, inspection lot processing, results recording, usage decisions, quality notifications, and quality certificates.
- Design quality integration touchpoints with MM (GR inspections, vendor evaluation), PP (in-process inspections), SD (delivery inspections, customer returns), and PM (calibration).
- Configure batch management and batch classification integration with QM as applicable.
- Develop functional specifications for RICEFW objects (custom reports, certificate of analysis forms, interfaces, enhancements) needed in S/4HANA.
Testing & Cutover
- Develop and execute unit, integration, and regression test scripts covering end-to-end QM scenarios (GR inspection, in-process, final, delivery, returns).
- Support UAT coordination; triage and resolve defects.
- Define QM cutover tasks: inspection plan activation, open inspection lot handling, quality info record loads; participate in mock cutovers.
- Support hypercare stabilization post go-live.
Stakeholder Engagement & Governance
- Engage quality assurance, production, procurement, and regulatory/compliance stakeholders; facilitate workshops and secure design decisions on S/4HANA-driven process changes.
- Produce project documentation: configuration workbooks, functional specs, test scripts, training materials.
- Report risks and recommendations to project leadership; flag regulatory or compliance risks tied to QM configuration changes.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
- 7+ years hands-on SAP QM functional consulting experience.
- Minimum 2 full-lifecycle ECC to S/4HANA conversion projects in a lead QM role.
- Deep knowledge of SAP QM processes: inspection planning, results recording, usage decisions, quality notifications, quality certificates, and vendor evaluation.
- Familiarity with S/4HANA QM simplification items and integration changes impacting inspection lot processing and batch management.
- Experience with QM master data migration (inspection plans, master inspection characteristics) using SAP Migration Cockpit or LSMW.
- Strong understanding of QM integration with MM, PP, SD, and PM.
- Experience with SAP Activate methodology.
- Proficiency writing functional specifications; ability to collaborate with ABAP developers on RICEFW objects.
- Strong communication skills; ability to engage quality and compliance stakeholders on process change impacts.
Preferred Qualifications
- SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Quality Management (current version preferred).
- Experience with regulated industries (pharma, food & beverage, medical devices) and GxP or FDA compliance considerations in SAP QM.
- Familiarity with SAP Digital Manufacturing (formerly ME/MII) integration with QM.
- Experience with SAP Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) integration.
- Prior consulting experience in a project delivery model with a system integrator.
