SAP TM (Technical) Integration Consultant

Job Title: SAP TM (Technical) / Integration Consultant - SAP TM Implementation

Location: Atlanta GA (Onsite)

Start date: Immediate availability.

Key Responsibilities:

ERP: TM Integration (Core)

• DRFOUT (Data Replication Framework) configuration for master data replication: business partners locations materials and organizational data from S/4HANA to decentral TM
• SOAP/XI web service configuration for transactional integration: sales order transportation demand freight order delivery PGI FI posting
• RFC destination setup (SM59) logical system configuration (BD54) SOA Manager endpoint registration
• Regression testing of any custom BAPIs RFCs or Z-programs affected by a version mismatch between the core S/4HANA and the decentral TM instance

SAP BTP Platform (Integration Layer)

• SAP Integration Suite (formerly CPI) - iFlow design and configuration for all external system integrations
• BN4L connectivity setup: carrier collaboration flows freight order tendering tracking event consumption carrier portal provisioning
• Event Mesh configuration for real-time event-driven patterns (delivery confirmation billing trigger carrier status TM event update)
• API Management setup for REST/OData endpoints used by carrier portals mobile apps and third-party systems
• BTP subaccount architecture IDP/SSO configuration for external carrier users

Carrier EDI Integration

• EDI message mapping and testing: 204 (Load Tender) 990 (Response) 214 (Shipment Status) 210 (Freight Invoice)
• EDI partner profile configuration per carrier - message format validation acknowledgment handling error/exception workflow
• Coordination with carrier IT departments during integration testing - you will be on calls with carrier EDI teams troubleshooting message failures

External System Integration

• FourKites / project44 SAP TM: real-time GPS tracking event consumption via BN4L connector ETA updates and exception alerting
• PC Miler and SMC3: distance/duration determination service integration (API calls via BTP or direct connection)

Technical Foundation

• System landscape management: dev quality production environment setup coordination with Basis
• Transport management for TM configuration objects
• Performance analysis for high-volume batch processing (CONA processes 160000 daily sales orders - TM background jobs for planning tendering and settlement must handle this throughput)
• Technical troubleshooting across the full integration chain - youre the escalation point when something breaks between systems

Must-Have Experience:

• 2 SAP TM implementations with significant integration responsibility - not just TM-internal config but building the bridges between TM and surrounding systems
• DRFOUT master data replication setup between S/4HANA and decentral TM - hands-on experience with replication models filters and error handling
• SAP BTP Integration Suite (CPI) - iFlow development message mapping error handling and monitoring. This is the middleware backbone and you must be fluent in it.
• EDI integration for carrier communication - X12 message mapping (204/990/214/210) partner profile configuration and end-to-end testing with live carriers
• SOAP/XI and RFC-based integration patterns between SAP systems
• Experience with at least one external system integration in a TM context (visibility platform load optimizer map provider or WMS)
• Debugging skills across the integration chain - you need to trace a failed transaction from the originating system through middleware to the target system identify the break point and fix it
• Understanding of SAP transport management and system landscape architecture

Highly Preferred:

• BN4L (Business Network for Logistics) technical setup - carrier tenant provisioning document exchange configuration tracking event mapping
• Blue Yonder integration experience - any flavor (API file-based middleware-orchestrated). Understanding the load plan data model is a significant advantage.
• FourKites project44 or Descartes integration via API or BN4L connector
• SAP Event Management technical configuration - event handlers rules expected events and event-to-action linkage
• PC Miler or SMC3 API integration - geocoding distance matrix calls and response caching (DDD buffer table)
• Performance tuning for SAP TM batch jobs - parallelization job scheduling and throughput optimization for high-volume environments
• ABAP debugging capability (for analyzing existing custom code during regression testing - not for new Z-development)
• REST/OData API development and API Management configuration on BTP
• Experience with RISE with SAP migration considerations - ensuring integration patterns are cloud-ready
• Beverage CPG or high-volume distribution industry experience
• For offshore resources: overlap availability with US Eastern Time (minimum 4 hours daily).
