Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Senior SAP WM/EWM Functional Consultant to drive warehouse digitization and enterprise ERP transformation. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and configuring end-to-end warehouse execution processes, with a heavy emphasis on RF/handheld device integration and transition from legacy ERP systems to SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA.

The ideal candidate brings deep domain knowledge in warehousing and logistics, proven expertise in configuring mobile warehouse execution (ITSmobile, RF Framework, Barcode/RFID scanning), and a strong track record of migrating legacy warehouse operations into SAP environments with minimal operational disruption.

Key Responsibilities:

Legacy ERP to SAP Migration & Transformation

• Lead functional architecture and design for migrating warehouse operations from legacy ERP / WMS applications to SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA (EWM / Embedded EWM).
• Map legacy warehouse master data, inventory structures, bin topologies, and operational workflows to SAP standard and custom solutions.
• Define and execute data migration strategies for WM/EWM data objects (Storage Bins, Stock Balances, Packaging Specifications, Hazard Data) using LTMC, MWB, or custom migration scripts.
• Drive cutover planning, initial physical inventory load, open order conversion, and go-live readiness validations for warehouse facilities.

Handheld & Mobile Device Implementation

• Architect, configure, and deploy mobile warehouse execution solutions using SAP RF Framework, ITSmobile, SAP Fiori, or third-party mobile middleware.
• Design custom RF screens, RF logical transactions, barcode/QR code parsing logic, and user-guided mobile workflows for picking, putaway, physical inventory, cycle counting, and goods movement.
• Partner with hardware vendors and internal infrastructure teams to integrate handheld terminals, wearable scanners, vehicle-mounted devices, and industrial printers.
• Conduct site readiness tests, wireless signal/network latency validations for handheld usage, and hardware troubleshooting during rollout.

SAP WM / EWM Core Functional Execution

• Configure core SAP WM/EWM modules: Inbound Processing, Outbound Processing, Internal Movements, Physical Inventory, Slotting & Rearrangement, Wave Management, and Kitting.
• Integrate SAP WM/EWM seamlessly with adjacent modules including SAP MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales & Distribution), PP (Production Planning), and QM (Quality Management).
• Write detailed Functional Specifications (FSDs) for custom RICEFW developments, including custom RF transactions, interfaces to automated material handling systems (MHE/PLC), labels, and reporting.

Testing, Deployment & Operational Support

• Lead end-to-end testing cycles (Unit, SIT, UAT) using actual handheld scanners and simulated warehouse scenarios.
• Create training documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and quick-reference guides tailored for warehouse operators using handheld units.
• Provide hypercare support, issue resolution, and performance tuning for critical warehouse operations during go-live phases.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

• Experience: 6 10+ years of hands-on functional implementation and support experience in SAP WM and SAP EWM (S/4HANA Embedded EWM or Decentralized EWM).
• Migration Track Record: At least 2 full lifecycle implementations involving a migration from a legacy ERP/WMS (e.g., Manhattan, AS400, JDA, RedPrairie, home-grown legacy systems) to SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA.
• Handheld / Mobile Device Expertise: Demonstrated experience configuring and deploying RF devices, handheld barcode scanners, and custom RF transactions via ITSmobile or EWM RF Framework.
• Functional Integration: Solid understanding of integration points with SAP MM, SD, PP, and QM modules.
• Technical Interface Knowledge: Experience with IDocs, APIs, EDI, and interface mapping between SAP and external automation/logistics systems.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in supply chain management, Logistics, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline.

Preferred Skills & Certifications:

• Certifications: SAP Certified Application Associate Extended Warehouse Management (S/4HANA) or SAP WM Certification.
• Modern SAP UI: Familiarity with SAP Fiori apps for EWM and Warehouse Operations.
• Methodologies: Experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery models for SAP implementations.
