Role Purpose

The IT SAP Process Analyst Intern will support the SAP PTP (Plan-to-Produce) function within IT by contributing to daily support operations, documentation, testing, and process improvement activities.

The internship is designed as a support-driven, hands-on learning experience, where the intern will progressively contribute to real SAP operations while building a strong understanding of production planning processes and system behavior. This internship is designed for students who are interested in SAP operations, business process analysis, and IT service support. The role also offers exposure to emerging opportunities to apply AI and automation concepts in SAP operations, such as document drafting, knowledge management, and operational insights.

• Perform ticket triage, acknowledgment, and initial classification.
• Assist in resolving low-risk and repetitive SAP tasks under supervision.
• Support SAP change management processes (SolMan), including tracking, documentation, and coordination with testers and approvers.
• Execute test scripts in QA environments and document results with proper evidence.
• Assist in monitoring and maintaining background jobs (Control-M).
• Support master data validation and basic updates (e.g., MRP controllers, storage locations, planning-related data).
• Help maintain and update operational trackers (Excel-based reporting, plant/division mappings, approval matrices).
• Monitor basic SAP interfaces (inbound/outbound) and escalate issues with proper documentation.
• Create and maintain SOPs, user guides, and knowledge base documentation for recurring issues.
• Participate in cross-functional coordination and basic ticket assignment activities when required.
• Explore and support practical uses of AI tools in SAP operations, such as:
  • assisting with first drafts of SOPs or process summaries,
  • improving document searchability and knowledge retrieval,
