SAP PP Architect – PPDS & Flowdown Integration

Introduction

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your role and responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced Supply Chain Architect to lead the integration of the Cognitus Flowdown solution with SAP Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPDS). In this role, you will design and implement the logic that allows flowdown requirements to drive the prioritization of order scheduling, ensuring that production plans reflect contractual and compliance priorities. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in SAP production planning and manufacturing processes and the ability to translate business requirements into scalable solution designs. Strong knowledge of standard SAP processes is the most important qualification; prior experience with Cognitus Flowdown is a plus but not required, as training on the solution will be provided. Strong collaboration skills are essential, as you will work closely with functional teams, developers, and client stakeholders throughout design, build, and deployment
