SAP OM&E Consultant / Solution Architect ? Order BOM

The SAP OM&E 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

• 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

  • 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

  • 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.

Typical End-to-End Process

Customer Requirement ? Sales Order ? Order BOM ? Engineering Changes ? MRP ? Procurement/Production ? Production Order ? Shop Floor Execution ? Delivery

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.
