SAP X-Steps EXPERT – Multiple Implementation Experience Mandatory | S/4HANA PP-PI

Project overview

SAP X-Steps Expert / Senior Consultant & Developer

Only specialists with proven X-Steps project experience are sought!

For a demanding SAP S/4HANA transformation project in the regulated pharmaceutical environment, we are looking for an experienced SAP X-Steps specialist who has independently advised, designed, configured, and successfully implemented X-Steps multiple times in client projects.

IMPORTANT: SAP X-Steps is the central and mandatory core competence of this position – not an optional additional qualification!

We are explicitly not looking for a general SAP PP / PP-PI consultant, a pure ABAP developer, or a candidate who wants to get acquainted with X-Steps first.

Responsibilities

Independent design and new implementation of SAP X-Steps in the SAP S/4HANA environment

Setup and configuration of the X-Step repository and reusable X-Step templates

Configuration and implementation of Electronic PI Sheets

Creation and integration of process instructions and process messages

Technical integration into recipes and production orders within SAP PP-PI

Execution of required technical developments and enhancements

Functional consulting for project stakeholders and independent implementation of the solution

Support with testing, documentation, and validation in a GMP-regulated environment

Mandatory Requirements – Without Exception

You have actively introduced, implemented, or significantly further developed SAP X-Steps in at least two independent client projects.

You have personally configured, implemented, and put X-Steps into productive use – not just accompanied their introduction, gathered requirements, or created concepts.

You master the technical and functional interrelationships of:

SAP X-Step Repository and X-Step Templates

SAP PP-PI and process manufacturing

Electronic PI Sheets

Process Instructions and Process Messages

Integration into Recipes and Production Orders

SAP Customizing and required technical enhancements

You are capable of designing, configuring, implementing, and testing an X-Steps solution without extensive training.

You have SAP S/4HANA experience and can assess the technical feasibility of X-Steps requirements in the target system.

Additional Qualifications

Experience in the pharmaceutical industry / GMP-regulated production

CSV / GAMP 5 knowledge

ABAP development, BAdIs, and SAP enhancements

Experience with electronic manufacturing records

Knowledge in SAP PP-PI as well as process and production integration

Binding Information for Application

Please answer the following four questions in your first message:

In how many client projects have you personally implemented SAP X-Steps?

For which projects or industries were these implementations? Please state the project period and your specific role. Client names can be anonymized if confidential.

Which X-Steps components have you personally configured or developed? Please provide specific examples.

Have you already implemented X-Steps under SAP S/4HANA? If so, in which system version or system landscape?

Please also state your availability, the possible start date, and your remote hourly or daily rate.

Important Note on Candidate Selection

Applications without concretely proven X-Steps implementation experience cannot be considered.

General SAP PP, PP-PI, ABAP, or S/4HANA knowledge is explicitly not sufficient for this position.

We are looking for a proven SAP X-Steps practitioner with a demonstrable project history who can take on technical and functional responsibility at short notice.
