SAP PaPM Technical Consultant (5-8 Years) :

We are looking for a technically strong SAP Profitability and Performance Management (PaPM) Consultant with solid ABAP development skills to join our Finance & Analytics practice. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, and sustaining the technical components that power PaPM-based profitability solutions spanning HANA data architecture, ABAP automation, data flow orchestration, and end-to-end system stability. You will work at the intersection of finance and technology, ensuring that complex profitability models run reliably, accurately, and at scale.

Data & HANA Architecture :

- Design, build, and maintain SAP HANA Calculation Views to support data flows into and out of the PaPM environment, ensuring accuracy, performance, and alignment with financial data models.

- Own the HANA database layer including object creation, schema management, ongoing maintenance, and troubleshooting of data inconsistencies or performance degradation.

- Manage and optimize inbound and outbound data flows, working across source system extracts, staging layers, and downstream consumption by reporting and analytics tools.

ABAP Development & Automation :

- Build and support the Queuing Program managing job sequencing, dependency control, and error recovery to ensure reliable end-to-end processing.

- Develop and maintain RSPC (Process Chain) validation reports to monitor data completeness, load status, and processing integrity across the pipeline.

Profitability Reporting & PaPM Configuration :

- Support the build and maintenance of Preliminary P&L reporting - both the original version and the automated MC2 deliverable - ensuring accurate cost and revenue allocation flows within the PaPM model.

- Configure, maintain, and enhance ABAP based PaPM Dashboard Report, working with business stakeholders to ensure output meets management reporting requirements.

- Troubleshoot allocation, calculation, and output discrepancies within PaPM, tracing issues across the full data flow from source to result.

System Operations & Stability :

- Own transport management activities - initiating, tracking, and troubleshooting transport requests across development, QA, and production landscapes.

- Configure and maintain RFC connections between systems, ensuring reliable cross-system communication for data flows and process integrations.

- Lead system troubleshooting efforts - diagnosing and resolving issues spanning HANA, ABAP, PaPM configuration, and process chain failures.

- Conduct performance troubleshooting - identifying bottlenecks in HANA views, ABAP programs, and PaPM calculation runs, and implementing tuning measures to meet SLA requirements.

Requirements :

- 5-8 years of SAP technical experience, with at least 2-3 years of hands-on SAP PaPM (Profitability and Performance Management) exposure in a delivery or support context.

- Strong ABAP development skills - including report development, automation programs, scheduling logic, and performance-conscious coding practices.

- Solid SAP HANA expertise - proficient in building and optimizing Calculation Views, understanding HANA data modeling concepts, and troubleshooting database-layer issues.

- Hands-on experience with SAP BW/4HANA or BW Process Chains (RSPC) - including chain design, monitoring, and validation reporting.

- Working knowledge of PaPM functional concepts - including allocation cycles, profitability models, cost drivers, and P&L reporting structures sufficient to support configuration and troubleshoot business logic issues.

- Experience managing SAP transports across multi-tier landscapes, including change management discipline and conflict resolution.

- Proficiency with RFC connection setup and maintenance, including troubleshooting cross-system connectivity issues.

- Demonstrated performance tuning capability - able to identify and resolve bottlenecks across HANA views, ABAP execution, and PaPM model processing.

- Experience working in Agile or hybrid delivery environments, managing concurrent development and support workstreams.
