Last position:

Project Manager at Payone GmbH (Worldline AG)

  • Objective/Motivation: PAYONE urgently needs a 360° view of its customers. So far, PAYONE has had no company-wide master data strategy. It is not possible to identify customers across all relevant systems.

The organization is to be enabled to identify customers across all relevant systems. Establishing the basis for master data management at PAYONE

  • Challenge: Due to company acquisitions, the system landscape is very heterogeneous. The company is highly dynamic and burdened with many system harmonization and integration projects, meaning that resource bottlenecks and changes in project priorities repeatedly create an almost impossible task.

Due to BaFin findings, the project has a central task and role. The first focus is the migration of all customers, including their AML/KYC data, from the master data backend systems to Salesforce. This is intended to resolve one of the largest findings and establish the corresponding ODD/EDD processes.

In addition, customer data must be harmonized in Salesforce. Previous migrations resulted in duplicate customer records in some cases. The aim is therefore to maintain only one customer in Salesforce and, using the relevant information from the backend systems, also be able to identify which products the customer uses and in which processing systems the customer obtains PAYONE services.

Project: ONE Customer

Budget: €1.5 million

Team: 10/30 employees (full-time/part-time); 4 vendors/providers

Integration: 8 (subsystems/interfaces)

Applications: Salesforce; SAP S4/HANA; in-house developments

Tools: MS Office; Jira, Confluence, SharePoint

Methods: Hands-on; Agile (SAFe); Prince2

About the technology

Order-to-cash scope

SAP SD, short for SAP Sales and Distribution, manages the commercial flow from customer inquiry to payment. It covers sales orders, pricing, availability checks, deliveries, goods issue and billing. In SAP S/4HANA, these processes connect closely with finance, materials management and warehouse operations.

Core capabilities

Strong specialists configure the rules that shape customer sales and fulfillment.

  • Sales document types, item categories and schedule lines
  • Pricing procedures, discounts, taxes and condition records
  • Delivery, picking, packing and goods issue processes
  • Billing documents, credit management and account determination
  • Partner functions, output control and copy control

Ecosystem and integration

SAP SD rarely operates alone. It exchanges data with SAP MM for material and procurement flows, SAP FI for receivables and revenue postings, and SAP EWM or warehouse tools for execution. Projects may also involve SAP CRM, SAP CX, IDocs, APIs, EDI and integration middleware for customer and partner communication.

When specialists help

Companies bring in freelance expertise during S/4HANA transformations, template rollouts, carve-outs and complex process changes. External support is also useful when pricing becomes difficult to maintain, billing errors increase or interfaces fail between sales, logistics and finance.

  • Map existing order-to-cash processes and gaps
  • Prepare migration, testing and cutover activities
  • Resolve delivery, pricing and billing defects

What strong experts deliver

The best professionals combine configuration skill with a clear understanding of commercial operations. They document decisions, challenge unnecessary custom code and test complete business flows rather than isolated transactions. They can translate requirements from sales and finance teams into maintainable SAP settings.

Choosing the right fit

Check whether an expert has worked with the relevant SAP release, sales model, geographic requirements and integration landscape. Ask for examples involving pricing, output, billing, returns or data migration that resemble your situation. Clear workshops, traceable configuration and disciplined testing are strong signs of quality.

Frequently asked questions

Curious about SAP SD? Here are the answers that come up again and again.

SAP SD manages customer-facing sales and distribution processes, including quotations, sales orders, pricing, deliveries, shipping and billing. It supports the order-to-cash cycle and passes financial postings to SAP FI.

SAP Sales and Distribution is deeply integrated with SAP finance, materials, production and logistics processes. Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics 365 often focus more on customer relationship management or broader business suites, so the right choice depends on the company’s existing landscape and process depth.

A strong SAP SD professional often understands SAP FI, SAP MM, SAP EWM and integration methods such as IDocs, EDI and APIs. Knowledge of SAP S/4HANA data structures, output control and migration tools is also valuable.

The required background depends on the scope. SAP ERP SD configuration for a contained change may need a focused specialist, while a global rollout, S/4HANA transformation or complex pricing redesign calls for broader process and integration experience.

Much of SAP SD configuration, documentation, testing and defect analysis can be completed remotely. Workshops, site visits and cutover support may still benefit from on-site collaboration, especially when warehouse or shipping operations are part of the project.

Ask the SAP SD specialist to explain a complete process from order entry through billing, including exceptions and financial integration. Review how they document configuration, manage testing and distinguish standard settings from custom development.

An SAP SD freelancer can deliver process designs, configuration workbooks, pricing models, test scenarios, migration mappings and cutover plans. They may also resolve production issues, improve billing controls and document support procedures.

SAP Sales and Distribution remains central to sales and fulfillment in SAP S/4HANA, although some functions and data models have changed. Specialists should understand the target release, business partner approach, credit management options and the impact of related S/4HANA processes.

The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used SAP SD in their recent projects is 115 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 920 € based on an 8-hour working day.
