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 dataloaded into S/4HANA is correct, complete, and matches the defined mappinglogic.
- 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
1️⃣ 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.
2️⃣ 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
3️⃣ 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
4️⃣ 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
5️⃣ 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 sch
