What they are checking: Whether they stay calm under pressure and can fix issues quickly while keeping business users informed.
How do you work with the Global Process Owner for business compliance to make design decisions?
What they are checking: Whether they can partner with process owners and bring clear options rather than just waiting for direction.
Tell me about a time you found a trade compliance risk in a system design before it went live.
What they are checking: Whether they think about regulatory risk, not just whether the system runs.
What would you do
A business unit wants to keep a custom workaround from their old system instead of using standard GTS. How do you handle it?

The role requires about 30 percent travel for go-lives. How do you support users at a site who are nervous about a new system?
What they are checking: Whether they can train and reassure users on site, which affects how well the system is adopted.
About the work
You would be the subject matter expert for the GTS workstream in a multi-year SAP S/4HANA migration. How would you approach a gap analysis between current trade processes and the target design?
What they are checking: Whether they can map business requirements to SAP GTS functions and spot gaps that need configuration or process change.
Which SAP GTS modules have you configured, like compliance management, customs management or trade preference?
What they are checking: Whether they have real hands-on configuration experience, not just functional knowledge from the business side.
Walk me through how sanctioned party list screening works in GTS and how you handle false positives.

How do export classification and license determination work in GTS, and where do they connect to sales orders and deliveries?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the integration with core SAP so blocks happen at the right point in the process.
What changes when moving GTS from an older ECC setup to GTS on S/4HANA?
