Job Description

Position :  SAP S/4HANA PP/DS Hands-on Technical Consultant
Location : East Brunswick, New Jersey (Hybrid) 
 
Role Overview 
We are looking for a hands-on SAP S/4HANA PP/DS Technical Consultant with strong configuration, build, troubleshooting, and implementation experience in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling. 
This role requires someone who can work directly in the SAP system, configure PP/DS functionality, support integration with core PP, SD, and AVC, analyze planning issues, resolve defects, support testing cycles, and help stabilize the solution through go-live. 
The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with business users, functional leads, technical teams, and offshore/onshore stakeholders, but the primary expectation is hands-on execution rather than high-level advisory. 
Key Responsibilities 
  • Configure and support SAP S/4HANA embedded PP/DS functionality in a greenfield implementation environment. 
  • Perform hands-on configuration for: 
  • Production planning 
  • Detailed scheduling 
  • Finite capacity planning 
  • Planning heuristics 
  • Scheduling board setup 
  • Resource and capacity modeling 
  • Production constraints 
  • Setup times and changeovers 
  • Work on integration between PP/DS and core SAP PP, including MRP, planned orders, production orders, BOMs, routings, work centers, and resource/capacity master data. 
  • Support integration of PP/DS with sales demand from SD and configurable product inputs from SAP AVC. 
  • Translate business planning requirements into SAP configuration and executable planning logic. 
  • Analyze current Infor planning processes and support the mapping of those processes into SAP S/4HANA PP/DS. 
  • Build and validate planning scenarios for make-to-order, configure-to-order, and make-to-stock environments. 
  • Troubleshoot PP/DS planning issues, scheduling failures, capacity mismatches, order sequencing issues, master data gaps, and integration defects. 
  • Support master data validation related to materials, BOMs, routings, work centers, resources, production versions, calendars, and planning-relevant parameters. 
  • Work with business users and functional teams during workshops, requirement clarification sessions, defect reviews, and solution walkthroughs. 
  • Prepare and execute test scenarios for SIT, UAT, regression testing, integration testing, and mock cutover cycles. 
  • Support defect triage, root-cause analysis, issue resolution, and retesting. 
  • Work closely with technical teams for interfaces, reports, enhancements, data migration, and integration-related dependencies. 
  • Support data migration validation for planning and manufacturing master data. 
  • Assist with go-live readiness activities, cutover planning, hypercare, and post-go-live stabilization. 
  • Document configuration decisions, test results, issue resolutions, and operational handover notes. 
Required Skills and Experience 
  • 8+ years of SAP experience with strong hands-on experience in SAP PP and PP/DS. 
  • Practical implementation experience with SAP S/4HANA embedded PP/DS. 
  • Strong configuration experience in: 
  • PP/DS planning board 
  • Detailed scheduling 
  • Finite capacity planning 
  • Heuristics 
  • Production planning integration 
  • Resource and capacity setup 
  • Order scheduling and sequencing 
  • Strong understanding of SAP PP processes, including MRP, production orders, planned orders, BOMs, routings, work centers, production versions, and shop-floor execution flows. 
  • Experience supporting manufacturing planning in discrete manufacturing environments. 
  • Ability to troubleshoot planning, scheduling, and capacity issues directly in SAP. 
  • Experience working with complex manufacturing environments involving product variability, configuration, constraints, and frequent planning changes. 
  • Hands-on experience supporting SIT, UAT, cutover, go-live, and hypercare phases. 
  • Ability to work with business users to understand planning issues and convert them into SAP configuration or process changes. 
  • Strong defect resolution, testing, and documentation skills. 
Preferred Skills 
  • Experience with configure-to-order or make-to-order manufacturing environments. 
  • Exposure to SAP AVC integration with PP/DS or PP. 
  • Experience with Infor to SAP S/4HANA migration programs. 
  • Experience in consumer goods, industrial manufacturing, or other discrete manufacturing environments. 
  • Understanding of how configurable products impact planning, scheduling, capacity, and production execution. 
  • Experience working in global delivery models with onsite/offshore teams. 
  • Ability to support both project implementation and post-go-live production stabilization.
