SAP TM Architect

• We are looking for a hands-on SAP Transportation Management Solution Architect to lead the end-to-end solution design for a decentralized SAP TM implementation at one of the largest CPG consortiums in North America. This is a greenfield SAP TM deployment.

• This is not a part-time advisory role. We need 100% dedicated, hands-on, in-the-weeds involvement from Day 1 through go-live.

• This is not an ECC LE-TRA upgrade. This is a greenfield SAP TM implementation replacing a third-party TMS. If your TM experience is limited to LE-TRA shipment documents, this is not the right fit.

• This is not a paper architect role. You will configure, review configuration, and troubleshoot alongside the functional team not just produce design documents.
  

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-end SAP TM solution architecture for a decentralized (side-by-side) deployment on S/4HANA, including integration architecture with core ERP (S/4HANA)

• Blueprint and design workshops you will lead these sessions directly with Client transportation business leads

• Technical design decisions: carrier tendering strategy (waterfall, broadcast, spot), freight settlement calculation sheets, dock scheduling configuration, and event-driven execution

• Integration architecture for SAP BTP (Integration Suite, BN4L for carrier collaboration, Event Mesh, API Management)

• Carrier onboarding strategy design: BN4L registration, EDI 204/990/214/210 mapping, and portal/email fallback for regional DSD carriers

• Distance/duration determination architecture using PC Miler (FTL) and SMC3 (LTL)

• Master data migration strategy from E2Open (carriers, lanes, rates, freight agreements, zones)

• RISE with SAP compatibility ensuring all design decisions is clean-core compliant (BAdI/BRF , no Z-programs)

• Technical mentorship of 2-3 offshore TM functional and technical consultants

• Solution quality gate reviews at each iCaptivate phase (Foundation, Build, Testing, Cutover)
  

Must Have Experience:

• 3 full-lifecycle SAP TM implementations as Solution Architect or Lead Functional Consultant at least one on S/4HANA (not just ECC with LE-TRA)

• Deep configuration-level expertise in SAP TM: freight order management, carrier selection/tendering, freight settlement (calculation sheets, rate tables, charge calculation), transportation planning, and event management

• Hands-on experience with SAP BTP Integration Suite and BN4L (Business Network for Logistics) carrier collaboration, freight order tendering via BN4L, tracking event integration

• Integration design experience: ERP-to-TM integration via DRFOUT, SOAP/XI web services, and middleware configuration (RFC destinations, SOA Manager, DRF config)

• EDI integration for carrier communication 204 (Load Tender), 990 (Response), 214 (Status), 210 (Invoice) mapping and testing

• Master data design: business partners (carrier-specific settings, SCAC codes), locations, transportation zones/lanes, freight agreements, and equipment/vehicle types

• Ability to lead design workshops independently with senior business stakeholders translate business requirements into SAP TM configuration decisions on the spot

• Experience with distance/duration determination setup (PC Miler, SMC3, or equivalent map provider integration)

• Understanding of Z-program regression testing implications in version-mismatch scenarios between decentral TM and core S/4HANA
  

Highly Preferred:

• SAP TM optimizer configuration (MILP-based planning, multi-stop FTL, consolidation)

• Fiori launchpad and Transportation Cockpit configuration for role-based UX (dispatcher, planner, analyst personas)

• Rail freight exposure Rule 11 interline billing, intermodal TOFC/COFC, railcar management.

• Multi-entity / multi-org-unit TM configuration designing a solution that serves on a shared platform with different carrier relationships, rate structures, and business rules

• SAP Event Management integration for real-time shipment tracking

• Experience with FourKites, project44, or similar visibility platform integration via BN4L

• RISE with SAP migration awareness designing for clean core from Day 1

• SAP TM certification (C_TM_95 or equivalent).
