Roles & Responsibilities

TSW on S/4HANA — Functional Consulting & Configuration

• Lead the design, configuration, and implementation of all core TSW modules on **SAP S/4HANA**, including:
• Stock Projection Worksheet (SPW): Configure and manage stock projection parameters, calculation logic (day-end inventory, what-if inventory, base inventory), physical inventory integration, rack issue forecasting (including LIS-based forecasts, corrected forecasts, and average consumption), real-time stock projection updates, quality calculations (Reid Vapor Pressure), and inventory on tank level with capacity/time constraints.
• Location Balancing: Configure demand and supply calculations across locations, planning locations, transport systems, and materials; manage inventory imbalances, allocation handling, simulated schedules, and bulk shipment planning within the balancing screen.
• Three-Way Pegging (3WP): Design and implement supply-demand pegging scenarios, manage distribution schedules, resolve imbalances using supply avails and demand items, and support what-if simulations.
• Nomination Management: Configure nomination types, line items, scheduling rules, reference document assignments, nomination lifecycle (creation, partner confirmation/rejection, actualization), and nomination publishing from SPW and 3WP.
• Ticketing: Configure ticket creation, validation against nomination line items, actual quantity capture, and automatic shipment document generation and material movement posting.
• Worklist Management: Configure and manage TSW worklists for exception handling and task tracking across planning and scheduling activities.
• Planning Functions: Configure replenishment proposals, safety/target stock calculations, and demand-driven planning workflows based on SPW data.

S/4HANA TSW Master Data Design

• Define and govern TSW master data architecture on **S/4HANA**, including:
• Transport Systems (TS): Configuration of pipeline, vessel, rail, and truck-based transport systems with in-transit plant assignments; book transport systems where inventory level is always zero.
• Business Locations: Location hierarchies, planning locations, plant/storage location assignments via TSW partner role concept, tank definitions, capacity and ti me constraints, and location-material assignments.
• Partner Roles: Customer, vendor, carrier, and other partner role assignments linked to locations and transport systems.
• Materials, Valuation Types, and Batches: Configuration of material assignments, batch/valuation type-level stock projection, and quality attributes (e.g., RVP calculations at location and tank level).
• Forecast Parameters: Rack forecast profiles, factory calendars, history horizon indicators, forecast types, and offset values in location-material master data.

Document Relevance & Cross-Module Integration

• Configure **document relevance** settings for SAP MM and SD documents (sales orders, purchase orders, contracts, quotations, purchase requisitions, reservations, stock transfer orders/requisitions) to ensure proper participation in SPW, 3WP, and Location Balancing.
• Manage TSW relevance and SPW relevance at document item level, including TSW Details configuration and Customizing for simulated schedule applications.
• Support integration with:
• Commodity Pricing Engine (CPE) for formula-based and average pricing tied to TSW movements.
• SAP Commodity Management (CWM) for weight-based quantity management.
• SAP Transportation and Distribution (TD): Shipment creation, load confirmations, deliveries, Left-on-Vehicle (LOV), Prior-to-Load, SILO/Tank Management, and gain/loss handling.
• SAP Plant Maintenance (PM) for asset-related constraints at locations.

TSW Calculation Logic & Inventory Management

• Configure and troubleshoot the **SPW calculation logic** on S/4HANA, including:
• Day-end inventory calculations for current day, future days, and past days.
• Base inventory versus what-if inventory derivation (SAP book inventory vs. physical inventory).
• Handling of unactualized nominations, scheduled vs. actualized quantities, rack issue corrections, and movement scenario balancing (purchase into and sale out of transport systems).
• Parameters for start-day vs. day-end inventory, nomination display on scheduled date vs. ticket end date, and rack forecast overwrite vs. addition.
• Support physical inventory management including source types (gauge readings, external system data, manual entry), historical analysis, and tank-level physical inventory maintenance.

Technical Development & Enhancement

• Define and review technical specifications for **BAdIs, BAPIs, user exits, and enhancement framework implementations** across TSW modules on S/4HANA, including:
• Custom stock projection logic overrides.
• Customer-specific SPW tabstrips and data transfer routines.
• Time-dependent tank constraint uploads from external systems (e.g., terminal management systems).
• Custom rack issue forecast routines.
• Location balancing BAdIs for balance quantity transfers.
• Contract stock projection relevance BadIs.
• Provide guidance on **ABAP development** (debugging, module pool, DDIC, ABAP Objects, Web Dynpro ABAP, FPM/GUIBB) as required for TSW custom developments.
• Support integration middleware configuration using **SAP PI/PO and/or SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)** for external system integrations (e.g., terminal management systems, gauge reading data, external forecasting tools).
