The Core Intersection : SAP Integration Suite + OTC

They aren't just looking for someone who can build an API, and they aren't looking for a pure functional OTC consultant. They want someone who understands the business process and knows how to automate it across complex system landscapes.

Here is how those two worlds collide :

- B2B/EDI Integrations : Setting up integration flows (iFlows) to handle inbound customer orders (850/ORDERS) and outbound invoices (810/INVOICEX) or shipping notifications (856/DESADV).

- Third-Party Logistics (3PL) : Connecting SAP S/4HANA or ECC with external warehouses for delivery creation, picking, packing, and goods issue.

- E-Commerce & CRM : Integrating front-end platforms (like Salesforce, Adobe Commerce, or SAP Commerce Cloud) to push real-time pricing, inventory checks, and order creation into the ERP.

- Credit Card/Payment Gateways : Securing digital payment authorizations during the sales order processing phase.

2. Key Terminology to Highlight :

To show deep expertise, make sure you reference the specific tools and technical components within these domains :
