A strong understanding of supply chain processes and EDI standards (X12, EDIFACT) within the D365 ecosystem is essential for success.

  • Oversee EDI mapping, configuration, and validation processes to ensure accurate and timely exchange of supply chain documents.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve EDI issues post-implementation, ensuring minimal disruption to supply chain operations.
  • Maintain project documentation, track milestones, and report on status, risks, and deliverables.
  • Drive process improvements by analyzing EDI workflows and identifying opportunities to streamline operations.
  • Stay up to date with EDI standards (e.g., X12, EDIFACT) and Dynamics 365 F&O capabilities to support evolving business needs.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of direct experience with EDI systems, including leading end-to-end EDI projects involving trading partner onboarding and integrations.
  • Strong knowledge of EDI standards and transaction sets (e.g., 850, 856, 810, 940, 997) within supply chain and logistics processes.
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) and its EDI integration points.
  • Familiarity with EDI mapping tools and platforms (e.g., IBM Sterling, Gentran, TrueCommerce, SPS Commerce, or similar).
  • Experience creating and managing project documentation, including scope of work (SOW), business requirements, testing plans, and process flows.
  • Solid understanding of data mapping, file formats (XML, CSV, flat files), and communication protocols (AS2, SFTP, FTP).
  • Proven ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams including IT, procurement, logistics, and third-party vendors.
  • Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills, especially with failed transactions, mapping errors, and integration issues.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to clearly explain technical details to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proficient knowledge of Lean tools and methodologies (e.g., 5S, PDCA, Process Mapping, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen, Root Cause Analysis).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a data-driven approach to decision-making.
