SAP PTP (Procure to Pay)

JD for Procure to Pay: 10+ Years

Role Summary

We are seeking a senior SAP S/4HANA Procure-to-Pay (P2P) Consultant with strong business process transformation experience to lead end-to-end design for a large-scale S/4HANA program. The consultant will partner with procurement, supply chain, finance, accounts payable, IT, suppliers, and portal teams to define standardized future-state processes, facilitate design workshops, resolve cross-functional requirements, and translate business outcomes into an integrated S/4HANA solution.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Procure-to-Pay discovery, fit-to-standard, design, and validation workshops with business and IT stakeholders.

Own the end-to-end P2P solution across supplier onboarding, sourcing handoff, requisitioning, approvals, purchase orders, goods and service receipt, invoice processing, matching, payment, and supplier inquiries.

Drive business process transformation and standardization rather than replicating legacy processes in S/4HANA.

Convert business requirements, pain points, controls, and compliance needs into clear future-state process designs and solution decisions.

Facilitate cross-functional decisions involving Procurement, Materials Management, Inventory/Warehouse, Manufacturing, Quality, Finance, Accounts Payable, Treasury, Tax, and Integration teams.

Define the integration design for supplier/vendor portals and procurement collaboration platforms, including transaction ownership, status synchronization, exception handling, and auditability.

Lead solutioning for purchase order collaboration, confirmations, advanced shipping information, service entry, invoice submission, invoice status, payment status, and supplier communications through online portals.

Design invoice verification and matching scenarios, including two-way and three-way matching, tolerance handling, blocked invoices, credit memos, duplicate checks, non-PO invoices, and exception workflows.

Ensure alignment between procurement transactions and financial postings, payment processing, vendor account management, and reconciliation requirements.

Prepare process flows, design decisions, functional specifications, configuration rationale, integration requirements, test scenarios, training inputs, and cutover considerations.

Provide functional leadership through build, testing, defect resolution, data migration, deployment, hypercare, and process adoption.

Proven experience leading P2P design workshops and guiding business stakeholders from current-state challenges to standardized future-state processes.

Demonstrated ability to solution complex end-to-end scenarios across SAP and non-SAP portals or collaboration platforms.
