May, 2008

I am a SAP ABAP/4 certified consultant looking for a contract implementing SAP applications. I would prefer to work in the Toronto GTA area, but I am willing to travel 5 days a week. I am available October 2008.

I have 10 years SAP ABAP experience (2 years with Deloitte Touche / ICS). During that time I have worked on many GO Live implementations.

My current project involved Conversion loads of Material Master, Customer Master, Bill of Materials, Production Version, Routings, EDI Partners, Open: Inventory, General Ledger, Profit and Loss, GL Statistical, A/R, A/P. All using LSMW. I was the ABAP Consultant Team Lead on a previous SAP implementation project. I had responsibility for technical direction, answering questions, and solving problems for a team of 5 programmers. Above all I was responsible for developing the most difficult ABAP code. I am able to debug the most complicated SAP program.

I have technical experience with the FI (GL, AP, AR, TR), CO, HR (PA, OM, BN, PY, TM), MM, PI/PP, SD, CRM (4.0), and QM modules. My technical experience also includes Classification, Object Oriented Programming, ALE, IDOCs, BAPIs, LSMW, Dialog Programming, User Exits, Interactive Reporting (including ALV), Data Loads, Interfaces, Workflow, BW, Smart Forms, SAP Script, Unix Scripts. I have worked with SAP Versions 2.2, 3.1 D/E/H, 4.6 C/D, 4.7, 5.0. I also have extensive experience with MS Access and Excel.

The industries my experience includes are Automotive, Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing, Utility, Chemical, Insurance, Pulp and Paper, Agriculture and Retail.
