Summary

Dear Sir or Madam,

As I am convinced that I can effectively support your SAP team and your customers’ teams, I am applying to you proactively.

I kindly ask you to treat our communication and the documents provided as strictly confidential.

An overview of my qualifications (detailed information in my profile):

SAP SD Consultant, over 25 years of experience
Working through my own GmbH provides legal certainty
Consulting / Customizing / Support & Maintenance / Training
Experience in related modules such as MM incl. CRM 3.0 and 4.0
End-customer references confirm the high quality of the services provided
Fully developed ECC 6.0 SAP system (for customer prototyping and continuous training), which I operated together with an SAP logistics developer
Currently jointly setting up and expanding an SAP S4/HANA system (for customer prototyping and continuous training), which I operate with an SAP logistics developer and which is continuously expanded functionally.
If desired, team building with my developer colleague (for highly complex business processes and requirements that require development work), with a focus on SD and migration.

Overview of my S4 HANA qualifications:

S/4HANA On-Premise system, which I operate together with my business partner (our own S-User account for our S/4 system!).

We set up this system using a Greenfield approach – alongside other external projects and support projects that are currently still running on SAP ECC systems.

The goal is to use the S/4HANA On-Premise system as a basis for customer customizing and development while continuously expanding our own skills. This is the same approach we previously followed with our “old” SAP ECC system.

Time invested by me in the S4 HANA system so far: approx. 1200 net hours (investment and license costs not included)

What has been implemented in our S4 HANA system so far (not based on the “Best Practices”):

Complete customizing of the required processes (partly outside the standard SAP number ranges)
Set-up of the complete organizational structure (SALES, Purchasing, Warehouse, SERVICE, etc.)
CVI (Customer-Vendor-Integration) completed
Implementation of basic SD functionalities: orders, deliveries, invoices (additional specialized functions/subprocesses are added as required)
MM movements incl. LEAN WM (not classic WM or EWM in S/4)
Basic logic for New General Ledger and basic FI customizing set up (the goal was a correctly functioning system in FI in terms of value flow)
Installation of standard FIORI Apps and their communication with S/4HANA
My business partner and I are currently working on the foundations of SAP S/4HANA SERVICE and S/4 HANA embedded Transportation Management.

General parameters:

Availability: 40% max 60% (2-3 person-days per week, local) as of today
Rate: VHS

I look forward to supporting your customers with my expertise and would be pleased to speak with you personally. Thank you in advance for your feedback and the opportunity to discuss further details of a possible cooperation.

For preliminary information, you are welcome to contact me via mobile +49 171 2700 392 or via email [email]

Best regards Holger Schröder
