Senior SAP ABAP/WebDynpro developer

This bid solicitation is a re-issue of previous bid solicitation number 10170241 dated September 1, 2017 with a closing of September 26, 2017 at 2:00 P.M.

The objective of the contract is to secure an experienced senior ABAP/WebDynpro developer that is fully versed in the use of SAP ABAP and WebDynpro design and development, with experience in SAP Workflow, object oriented programming, and data modeling.

The proposed resource should be a Senior Programmer/Developer whose skill sets and understanding of Invoice to Pay (I2P) and Procure to Pay (P2P) processes, and significant knowledge of the delegation of financial signing authority would be an asset in supporting the Department in extending its Delegation of Authority application (DAA) to include robust I2P and P2P solutions.

The Departmental Financial and Materiel System in place at both Canadian Heritage (PCH) and Parks Canada Agency (PCA) is the Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP) known internally as STAR. SAP is a shared enterprise-wide system sanctioned by Treasury Board Secretariat for financial and materiel management within the Federal Government. STAR has been in Production mode since 1998 at PCH/PCA and continues to evolve.

A custom delegation of authority application (DAA), the agent determination foundation for the implementation of workflows and electronic authorizations, has been developed in SAP by the National Research Council (NRC). The DAA provides efficient management of financial delegations and system access rights. The NRC DAA application is designed to support multiple government departments and is being implemented at PCH/PCA.

The NRC and PCH/PCA work cooperatively to define requirements, design, develop, and test enhancements to the DAA. Application development and related activities are performed in PCH/PCA SAP systems, and are then transferred to the NRC for implementation. 

PCH/PCA is proceeding with two phased initiatives which, once implemented, will be dependent on the use and functionality of the DAA. These two phases are:

• Phase 1: Invoice to Payment (I2P)

• Phase 2: Procure to Payment P2P)

  Both initiatives will be conducted so as to meet the requirements of PCH/PCA and the NRC. There is also a requirement to provide additional support and knowledge transfer for the DAA at PCH/PCA, and the DAA and I2P at the NRC.
