Consultant is responsible for designing, configuring, and supporting Order Management & Execution processes with a strong focus on Order BOM. The role bridges Sales, Engineering, Manufacturing, Planning, Procurement, and Shop Floor Execution to enable customer-specific and order-specific product configurations.
Key Responsibilities:
The consultant should understand how an Order BOM allows engineering/manufacturing to maintain an order-specific product structure without unnecessarily modifying the standard product BOM. Design end-to-end Order BOM processes for Engineer-to-Order (ETO), Configure-to-Order (CTO), and Make-to-Order (MTO) scenarios. Define how customer requirements originating from a sales order are translated into order-specific engineering structures and BOMs. Configure and support SAP processes involving Sales Orders, Order BOM creation and maintenance, Material BOMs, BOM explosion and component determination, Production/Planned Orders, Engineering changes, Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Procurement of order-specific components, and Manufacturing execution. Establish integration between SAP SD, PP, MM, and engineering/PLM processes. Support Order BOM creation, copying, modification, explosion, and downstream consumption. Define rules for transferring engineering changes to manufacturing while maintaining traceability to the customer/order. Work with engineering teams to manage customer-specific BOM structures, variants, substitutions, and component changes. Ensure correct propagation of Order BOM components into planning, procurement, production orders, and shop-floor execution. Analyze complex BOM issues including quantity mismatches, missing components, incorrect explosion, alternative items, phantom assemblies, and effectivity. Design integration between Order BOM and Variant Configuration, Engineering Change Management, Production Planning, Purchasing, Inventory Management, Production Execution, and Costing. Lead workshops with business stakeholders to document As-Is and To-Be OM&E processes. Prepare functional specifications, configuration documents, process flows, test scenarios, and solution design documentation. Execute SIT/UAT and support defect resolution, cutover, go-live, and hypercare activities. Coordinate with technical teams for enhancements, interfaces, reports, conversions, workflows, and forms.
