SAP VIM Consultant - project work
Remote
We are looking for an experienced SAP VIM Consultant to support a global food and beverage ingredients organization on a focused, objective-based engagement of 3–6 months.
You will work closely with the Source-to-Pay (S2P) Centre of Excellence and Global Process Owner to roll out OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) auto-validation and 2.5-way matching (2.5WM) across additional entities.
The organization has already identified improvement opportunities through process and task mining. The focus of this assignment is therefore on hands-on SAP/VIM configuration and implementation, maximizing existing tools and standard SAP functionality rather than introducing unnecessary customization.
Key Responsibilities
Assessment & Design
- Review the existing SAP and OpenText VIM setup, including invoice capture, validation rules, matching logic, workflows and exception handling.
- Identify configuration gaps, quick wins and changes required to enable auto-validation and 2.5-way matching.
- Recommend how to maximize standard SAP and VIM functionality before considering custom development.
- Translate identified improvement opportunities into a clear rollout plan, scope and objectives.
Configuration & Rollout
- Configure OpenText VIM in SAP, including:
- Auto-validation rules
- Business rules
- Invoice matching
- Workflows
- Roles
- Exception handling
- Roll out VIM auto-validation and 2.5-way matching to additional entities.
- Adapt the solution to local business requirements where necessary.
- Work with ABAP developers, or implement ABAP changes directly where appropriate, including enhancements, user exits and fixes.
- Support unit testing, integration testing and UAT through go-live and hypercare.
Knowledge Transfer & Continuous Improvement
- Work closely with S2P, Accounts Payable, global IT and external IT teams.
- Transfer knowledge to internal teams so they can maintain and further develop the solution.
- Prepare clear design, configuration and support documentation.
- Track improvements in:
- Touchless invoice processing
- First-time match rates
- Exception volumes
