• 
  Work with business users to identify all
  data that needs to be migrated from legacy systems.
• 
  Analyze the source data structure,
  fields, and values.
• 
  Identify data quality issues (e.g.,
  duplicates, incomplete data, incorrect formats) that need to be fixed
  before migration.
• 
  Leverage the predefined Migration Object
  template from the Migration Cockpit.
• 
  Map each field in the source system to
  the corresponding field in the S/4HANA template.
• 
  Document all transformation rules
• 
  Configure all "Value Mapping"
  tasks. This is where you formally define translation rules for specific
  values
• 
  Work with a technical developer if a
  standard migration object is not sufficient.
• 
  Provide the mapping logic to the
  developer so they can use the Migration Object Modeler (LTMOM) to add
  custom fields or create new custom migration objects.
• 
  Participate in migration test cycles
  (unit testing, integration testing).

• 
  Minimum 5-8 years of experience in SAP data-related roles
  (e.g., SAP Data Analyst, ETL Developer, or SAP Functional Consultant
  with a heavy data focus)
• 
  Expert-level knowledge of the S/4HANA Migration Cockpit,
  using both "Migrate Data Using Staging Tables" and
  "Migrate Data Directly from SAP System" (if applicable)
  approaches
• 
  Hands-on experience using LTMOM to enhance or customize
  standard migration objects
• 
  Proficiency in data quality, profiling, and cleansing.
  Strong SQL skills are essential for querying source databases to
  analyze, extract, and transform data before it even reaches the S/4HANA
  staging tables
• 
  Experience with traditional SAP data loading tools (e.g.,
  LSMW, BAPI, IDoc) is highly beneficial, as it demonstrates a
  foundational understanding of SAP data loading principles.
• 
  A strong understanding of modern API structures,
  specifically OData (for S/4HANA) and SOAP. They must be able to read and
  interpret an API schema to identify all mappable fields and structures

Role Breakdown by Skill Area

1️⃣ S/4HANA Migration Cockpit (LTMC / Fiori App)

Required Level: Expert

They must know:

• 
  “Migrate Data Using Staging Tables”

• 
  “Migrate Data Directly from SAP System”

• 
  Migration object templates

• 
  Field mapping logic

• 
  Error handling & simulation

• 
  File formats & template structures

This separates them from legacy ECC-only consultants.

2️⃣ LTMOM (Migration Object Modeler)

This is where it becomes senior-level.

They should know how to:

• 
  Enhance standard migration objects

• 
  Add custom fields

• 
  Modify structures

• 
  Adjust mapping logic

3️⃣
SQL & Data Engineering Capability

This is critical and often missing in traditional SAP consultants.

They must be able to:

• 
  Query source databases

• 
  Profile and validate data

• 
  Cleanse and transform datasets

• 
  Identify data anomalies before migration

• 
  Build extraction logic

This aligns more with:

• 
  ETL Developer

• 
  SAP Data Analyst

• 
  SAP Data Architect

4️⃣
Traditional SAP Tools (LSMW, BAPI, IDoc)

These are important because they show foundational SAP loading knowledge.

What it proves:

• 
  Understanding of SAP document structures

• 
  Knowledge of batch input vs direct input

• 
  Familiarity with inbound/outbound interfaces

• 
  Comfort with WE02, BD87, SM35, etc.

Someone who knows these tools:

• 
  Understands how SAP actually posts data internally

5️⃣
API Knowledge (OData & SOAP)

This elevates the role into modern S/4 architecture.

They should be able to:

• 
  Read OData metadata ($metadata)

• 
  Understand entity sets & navigation properties

• 
  Identify required vs optional fields

• 
  Map complex nested structures

• 
  Interpret SOAP WSDL schemas

This is crucial in:

• 
  Cloud S/4 projects

• 
  Hybrid integrations

• 
  BTP or middleware-heavy landscapes
