Role overview

We're seeking a senior SAP PP/QM Consultant to support and enhance manufacturing and quality processes across an AMS engagement. The consultant will provide production support, resolve complex cross-functional issues, and deliver controlled improvements across SAP ECC and S/4HANA.

The role spans production planning and execution, quality planning and inspections, and their integration with procurement, inventory, warehouse, sales, and finance processes.

Key responsibilities

• Provide functional AMS support for SAP PP and QM, including incident, problem, service-request, and change management.
• Support production planning and execution processes, including demand planning inputs, MRP, planned orders, production and process orders, confirmations, goods issues, and goods receipts.
• Support PP master data such as material, BOM, work center, routing, production version, and planning parameters.
• Support QM processes including inspection planning, inspection characteristics, sampling procedures, inspection lots, results recording, usage decisions, quality notifications, and defect processing.
• Troubleshoot PP/QM integration issues across production orders, goods movements, stock status, inspection lots, and inventory postings.
• Analyze issues involving component availability, production scheduling, order status, confirmations, yield and scrap, inspection results, and blocked or inspection stock.
• Work with business users, plant teams, Product Owners, and technical teams to gather requirements and assess impacts.
• Perform fit-gap analysis and recommend standard SAP functionality or configuration before proposing enhancements.
• Prepare functional specifications and coordinate technical changes with ABAP, Fiori, integration, and Basis teams.
• Support functional, integration, regression, security, and user acceptance testing.
• Assist with cutover, data profiling and cleansing, release readiness, and post-release stabilization.
• Maintain functional documentation, runbooks, known-error records, and training materials.
• Identify recurring production and quality issues and recommend root-cause fixes and process improvements.

• Strong knowledge of production planning and execution, including MRP, manufacturing orders, confirmations, and goods movements.
• Strong knowledge of quality processes, including inspection planning, inspection lot processing, results recording, usage decisions, and quality notifications.
• Experience troubleshooting integration between PP, QM, MM, EWM or WM, SD, and FI/CO.
• Experience with requirements gathering, configuration, functional specifications, testing, documentation, and end-user support.
