SAP Consultancy in business – An overview

I have been able to help a lot of companies that were in need of a specialist in SAP consultancy for their business. They were all implementing a SAP project including the PP, MM, SD, FI and CO modules. Some companies also implemented an integration project with GMP (OM Partners), SFC and Locus WMS via Biztalk (Microsoft).

In general, I was responsible for the Business Blueprint and the implementation of the Materials Management module (containing master data, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, pricing, output, subcontracting, stock transports, purchase order release, vendor confirmation, returns, inventory management and batch management) and the implementation of the Production & Planning module. In most cases I was also responsible for master data conversion. Furthermore, I provided internal training sessions for the personnel and I created test plans for quality control.

The list below presents every business I have worked for as a SAP consultant.
