📋 Description

• Take charge of the integration between Salesforce and SAP for an order management project at a beverage manufacturing company.

• Conduct a two-week solution discovery session with the client's IT department.

• Finalize the interface contract outlining SAP services, payload formats, error semantics, idempotency management, and retry strategies.

• Design and oversee the integration process through five build sprints, aiming for a go-live in February.

• Create the inbound synchronization of order header and line items from SAP to Salesforce using the SAP Integration Suite.

• Develop the write-back process to SAP for order modifications, cancellations, and return authorizations, including recorded reason codes.

• Implement validation, exception management, reconciliation controls, and concurrency oversight for failed, partial, and duplicate transactions.

• Identify available SAP services, review SAP releases, order state models, authorization thresholds, and historical order data volume and cut-off during the discovery phase.

• Proven experience in delivering Salesforce to SAP integrations end-to-end, including transactional write-back to SAP rather than merely reading SAP data.

• Familiarity with transactional integration patterns such as idempotency keys, correlation identifiers, retry and backoff strategies, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation between two record systems.

• Experience with SAP sales order interfaces for creation, modification, and cancellation using both BAPI over RFC and OData.

• Knowledge of Salesforce integration mechanics, including Apex callouts, named credentials, platform events, External Services, and the Salesforce Order data model.

• Capability to draft an interface specification that is detailed enough for a third-party SAP team to follow, along with the ability to communicate directly with the client.

• Proficiency in English to engage with the program's ceremonies alongside a US-based team.

• Experience with the SAP Integration Suite, particularly Cloud Integration, is preferred.

• Salesforce Integration Architect certification is a plus.

• Exposure to manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, or food and beverage order-to-cash processes is advantageous.
