SAP VIM Consultant

SAP VIM Consultant - project work Remote

We are looking for an experienced SAP VIM Consultant to support a global food and beverage ingredients organization on a focused, objective-based engagement of 3-6 months.

You will work closely with the Source-to-Pay (S2P) Centre of Excellence and Global Process Owner to roll out OpenText Vendor Invoice Management (VIM) auto-validation and 2.5-way matching (2.5WM) across additional entities.

The organization has already identified improvement opportunities through process and task mining. The focus of this assignment is therefore on hands-on SAP/VIM configuration and implementation, maximizing existing tools and standard SAP functionality rather than introducing unnecessary customization.

Key Responsibilities

Assessment & Design

• Review the existing SAP and OpenText VIM setup, including invoice capture, validation rules, matching logic, workflows and exception handling.
• Identify configuration gaps, quick wins and changes required to enable auto-validation and 2.5-way matching.
• Recommend how to maximize standard SAP and VIM functionality before considering custom development.
• Translate identified improvement opportunities into a clear rollout plan, scope and objectives.

Configuration & Rollout

• Configure OpenText VIM in SAP, including:
  • Auto-validation rules
  • Business rules
  • Invoice matching
  • Workflows
  • Roles
  • Exception handling
• Roll out VIM auto-validation and 2.5-way matching to additional entities.
• Adapt the solution to local business requirements where necessary.
• Work with ABAP developers, or implement ABAP changes directly where appropriate, including enhancements, user exits and fixes.
• Support unit testing, integration testing and UAT through go-live and hypercare.

Knowledge Transfer & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with S2P, Accounts Payable, global IT and external IT teams.
• Transfer knowledge to internal teams so they can maintain and further develop the solution.
• Prepare clear design, configuration and support documentation.
• Track improvements in:
  • Touchless invoice processing
  • First-time match rates
  • Exception volumes
