Job Description: NITF7R – SAP TM (Functional) – Hybrid Role in Atlanta, GA –

Role and Responsibilities: We need SAP TM functional consultants who can take a blueprint design and turn it into a working, tested system. You’ll be configuring SAP TM from the ground up for a major CPG Client — carrier tendering, freight settlement, dock scheduling, and shipment execution — while working alongside business users who live and breathe transportation operations daily. The onshore resource will lead workshop facilitation and client-facing design sessions. Offshore resources will drive configuration, unit testing, and documentation with guidance from the architect.

Key Responsibilities

• SAP TM configuration across all functional areas: freight order management, carrier selection and tendering (waterfall, broadcast, spot bid), transportation planning, execution monitoring, and event processing.
• Freight settlement configuration: calculation sheets, rate tables (up to 14 dimensions), charge calculation rules, invoice verification, and dispute management workflows
• Carrier master data setup: business partners with SCAC codes, equipment types, hazmat certifications, carrier-specific settings, and freight agreement structures
• Transportation zone and lane configuration — mapping location network into SAP TM’s zone/lane model for rate determination
• PC Miler (FTL) and SMC3 (LTL) integration configuration for distance/duration determination
• Dock scheduling configuration for appointment management and time slot allocation
• BN4L carrier collaboration setup — carrier registration, freight order tendering workflows, tracking event configuration
• Fiori app activation and role-based Transportation Cockpit configuration for dispatcher, planner, and analyst personas
• Functional specification documents (FSDs) for any required enhancements (BAdI/BRF+ — no Z-programs)
• Unit testing and string testing of all configured scenarios
• Support for SIT and UAT — test script preparation, defect analysis, and resolution
• Data migration support: mapping carrier, lane, and rate data into SAP TM master data structures

Required Technologies and Skills:

• Must-Have Experience
• 2+ full-lifecycle SAP TM implementations as a functional consultant — configuration, testing, and go-live support
• Hands-on configuration experience in at least 3 of these areas: carrier tendering, freight settlement (calculation sheets and rate tables), transportation planning, dock scheduling, event management
• Freight agreement and rate table setup — understanding of multi-dimensional rating (by lane, equipment type, weight break, commodity, carrier) and fuel surcharge configuration
• Master data configuration: business partners, locations, transportation zones, lanes, vehicle/equipment types, and resources
• SAP TM testing — ability to build end-to-end test scenarios covering order-to-delivery, tendering, execution, and settlement
• Working knowledge of ERP-to-TM integration touchpoints: sales orders triggering transportation demands, delivery-to-freight-order linkage, PGI triggers, and FI/CO posting from freight settlement
• Ability to write clear functional specifications for BAdI/BRF+ enhancements
• Comfortable leading workshops with business users — translating “how we do it today” into “how SAP TM will handle it
• Highly Preferred
• S/4HANA TM experience (not just ECC-based LE-TRA)
• BN4L configuration — carrier portal setup, EDI message mapping (204/990/214/210), and tracking event integration
• CPG, beverage, or food distribution industry experience — understanding of DSD routes, seasonal volume spikes, temperature-controlled transport, and high-frequency delivery operations
• Experience migrating from a third-party TMS (E2Open, MercuryGate, Oracle OTM, Blue Yonder) to SAP TM — understanding the data mapping challenges (rate structures don’t map 1:1)
• SAP Event Management configuration for shipment tracking and exception alerting
• Multi-org-unit configuration — supporting different business rules, carrier relationships, and rate structures across multiple organizational entities on a shared platform
• FourKites or project44 visibility platform integration experience
• Fiori launchpad customization and SAP TM standard app configuration
• SAP TM certification (C_TM_95 or equivalent)
• For offshore resources: overlap availability with US Eastern Time (minimum 4 hours daily)
