Design & Solution Ownership
- Own OTC design decisions within the global template: order management, pricing, billing, credit, delivery/shipping, returns, and intercompany.
- Lead fit-to-standard / fit-gap workshops with Global Process Owners and regional business teams; document decisions, gaps, and rationale.
- Challenge non-standard requirements. Push customization requests through the governance path with a business case, and drive standard S/4 or Fiori-based alternatives first.
- Translate approved gaps into functional specifications for RICEFW; review technical designs and unit test results with developers.
Build, Test & Deploy
- Configure SD/OTC in S/4HANA, including sales document types, item categories, pricing and the condition technique, output determination, availability check, billing and revenue postings.
- Own OTC test strategy execution: unit, string, SIT, regression, UAT and cutover rehearsal. Drive defect triage and resolution to closure.
- Support data migration for OTC objects — customer master, customer-material info, open sales orders, open deliveries, open billing, pricing conditions, credit master — including cleansing rules, load validation, and reconciliation.
- Execute cutover tasks and provide hypercare coverage; perform root cause analysis on post-go-live process and data issues.
Integration & Cross-Process
- Own OTC touchpoints into finance (billing → AR/revenue), supply chain (ATP, delivery, transportation), master data (MDG customer, material, pricing), and tax.
- Manage EDI/IDoc-based customer integrations, third-party and drop-ship flows, and intercompany billing across company codes.
- Partner with security on role design and SoD for OTC transactions and Fiori catalogs.

What Success Looks Like in Year One

- OTC defects at go-live trend down wave over wave, and hypercare exits on the planned date.
- OTC data loads reconcile at first attempt against agreed validation criteria.
