Description

Absolute must-have.

The manager needs 5–7 years of hands‑on SAP MM configuration experience.

This means someone who:

Works in the MM system daily, not just high‑level or oversight roles.

Can troubleshoot production issues quickly.

Knows the MM module end-to-end, not just integration touchpoints.

Candidates with only 1–3 years of MM experience will not be considered.

2. Data Extraction & Cleansing Experience

Considered very important.

Ranking priority: just below MM experience.

Candidates should have real experience with:

Data extraction

Data cleansing

Data migration

3. SAP MDG Experience

Helpful but not mandatory.

If a candidate is very strong in MM + data skills, the manager is fine with lighter MDG experience.

MDG can be picked up if the MM foundation is strong.

4. Additional Qualities & Deal Breakers

The manager emphasized that they evaluate more than the resume:

Must-Have Soft/Functional Skills

Strong analytical ability

Ability to dig into issues independently

Strong attitude to learn and problem‑solve

Ability to work directly with business users

Red Flags / Will Not Work

Candidates who:

Worked mostly as project managers, scrum masters, or overseers

Only supported SAP SD/OTC or PM with minimal MM

Have resumes that don’t match real experience when probed

5. What an Ideal Resume Would Look Like

5–7 years directly in MM, not SD, PM, or "integration only"

Daily, hands-on configuration work

Experience supporting production issues, not only implementation projects

Data extraction & cleansing background

Bonus: MDG experience

Priority Ranking (from manager’s perspective)

Strong, hands-on MM experience (5–7 years)

Data extraction + cleansing experience

MDG experience (nice to have, not required)
