The work:

The SAP Acquire to Retire (A2R) Workflow Consultant leads the design, configuration, and optimization of automated business processes within the S/4HANA digital core. Responsible for the transition from legacy SAP Business Workflows to the modern S/4HANA Flexible Workflow framework. This role bridges the gap between functional business requirements and technical execution, ensuring that approval cycles for critical documents (Purchase Orders, Invoices, Journal Entries, etc.) are efficient, transparent, and compliant with federal internal controls. The Workflow Specialist is responsible for leading workflow architecture, scenario configuration, and technical troubleshooting.

Key responsibilities:

• Architect and configure Flexible Workflow scenarios across assigned process area (P2P, O2C, B2R, H2R), utilizing the Fiori-based "Manage Workflows" applications
• Design multi-step approval patterns, including parallel approvals, agent determination rules, and deadline monitoring to ensure process velocity
• Configure Business Rule Framework plus (BRFplus) to drive complex workflow routing logic, ensuring that approval paths are dynamically determined based on federal spending limits or organizational hierarchy
• Manage Agent Determination, leveraging Responsibilities, Role-based assignments, and custom BAdIs to ensure the right federal official receives the right task at the right time
• Optimize the My Inbox Fiori App, ensuring unified task management experience for executives and providing necessary decision-support data within task UI
• Extend standard workflow scenarios by developing custom Condition Expressions and Result Actions using the S/4HANA extensibility framework
• Maintain legacy SAP Business Workflows (WF-BATCH) where necessary, ensuring a seamless co-existence and migration path to modern Flexible Workflow
• Troubleshoot Workflow Errors, utilizing technical tools such as SWI1, SWIA, and the Workflow Log to resolve bottlenecks and stuck work items
• Ensure Audit Traceability, designing workflows that capture a complete "Chain of Command" and history of approvals to meet GAO and IG audit requirements
• Lead "Fit-to-Standard" Workshops, advising functional teams on how to utilize standard SAP workflow content to minimize custom development and technical debt
• Monitor Workflow Performance, using the Workflow Dashboard to identify process bottlenecks and recommend optimizations to reduce cycle times

Here’s what you need:

• 4+ years of experience in SAP Workflow, with a deep understanding of both S/4HANA Flexible Workflow and classic SAP Business Workflow
• Experience in BRFplus, specifically for creating decision tables and expressions that drive workflow routing
• Knowledge of Fiori and OData, specifically related to the My Inbox integration and Push Notifications

Nice to have:

• Experience with ABAP Object-Oriented Programming, capable of developing custom BAdIs for agent determination and workflow conditions
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex "If-Then" business logic into technical workflow schemas
• Proficiency in workflow administration codes (SWDD, PFTC, SWU3) and modern Fiori configuration tools
• Experience with Federal Approval Authorities, ensuri
