Job Description
Sr Techno-functional SAP S/4HANA Data Migration & Integration Lead

If there is ANY TRAVEL the Client pays all travel expenses

Start Date: Immediate Start

Job Type: 6-12 Month contract

• Work with business users to identify all data that needs to be migrated from legacy systems.
• Analyze the source data structure, fields, and values.
• Identify data quality issues (e.g., duplicates, incomplete data, incorrect formats) that need to be fixed before migration.
• Leverage the predefined Migration Object template from the Migration Cockpit.
• Map each field in the source system to the corresponding field in the S/4HANA template.
• Document all transformation rules
• Configure all "Value Mapping" tasks. This is where you formally define translation rules for specific values
• Work with a technical developer if a standard migration object is not sufficient.
• Provide the mapping logic to the developer so they can use the Migration Object Modeler (LTMOM) to add custom fields or create new custom migration objects.
• Participate in migration test cycles (unit testing, integration testing).

Help business users validate that the data loaded into S/4HANA is correct, complete, and matches the defined mapping logic.

• Minimum 5-8 years of experience in SAP data-related roles (e.g., SAP Data Analyst, ETL Developer, or SAP Functional Consultant with a heavy data focus)
• Expert-level knowledge of the S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, using both "Migrate Data Using Staging Tables" and "Migrate Data Directly from SAP System" (if applicable) approaches
• Hands-on experience using LTMOM to enhance or customize standard migration objects
• Proficiency in data quality, profiling, and cleansing. Strong SQL skills are essential for querying source databases to analyze, extract, and transform data before it even reaches the S/4HANA staging tables
• Experience with traditional SAP data loading tools (e.g., LSMW, BAPI, IDoc) is highly beneficial, as it demonstrates a foundational understanding of SAP data loading principles.
• A strong understanding of modern API structures, specifically OData (for S/4HANA) and SOAP. They must be able to read and interpret an API schema to identify all mappable fields and structures

Role Breakdown by Skill Area
1⃣ S/4HANA Migration Cockpit (LTMC / Fiori App)
Required Level: Expert

They must know:

• "Migrate Data Using Staging Tables"
• "Migrate Data Directly from SAP System"
• Migration object templates
• Field mapping logic
• Error handling & simulation
• File formats & template structures

This separates them from legacy ECC-only consultants.

2⃣ LTMOM (Migration Object Modeler)

This is where it becomes senior-level.

They should know how to:

• Enhance standard migration objects
• Add custom fields
• Modify structures
• Adjust mapping logic

3⃣ SQL & Data Engineering Capability

This is critical and often missing in traditional SAP consultants.

They must be able to:

• Query source databases
• Profile and validate data
• Cleanse and transform datasets
• Identify data anomalies before migration
• Build extraction logic

This aligns more with:

• ETL Developer
• SAP Data Analyst
• SAP Data Architect

4⃣ Traditional SAP Tools (LSMW, BAPI, IDoc)

These are important because they show foundational SAP loading knowledge.

What it proves:

• Understanding of SAP document structures
• Knowledge of batch input vs direct input
• Familiarity with inbound/outbound interfaces
• Comfort with WE02, BD87, SM35, etc.

Someone who knows these tools:

• Understands how SAP actually posts data internally

5⃣ API Knowledge (OData & SOAP)

This elevates the role into modern S/4 architecture.

They should be able to:

• Read OData metadata ($metadata)
• Understand entity sets & navigation properties
• Identify required vs optional fields
• Map complex nested structures
• Interpret SOAP WSDL schemas

This is crucial in:

• Cloud S/4 projects
• Hybrid integrations
• BTP or middleware-heavy landscapes
