Position: SAP OM&E Consultant
Location: Fremont, CA (20% Travel to client location)
Job Description:
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:
o Sales Orders
o Order BOM creation and maintenance
o Material BOMs
o BOM explosion and component determination
o Production/Planned Orders
o Engineering changes
o Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
o Procurement of order-specific components
o 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:
o Variant Configuration
o Engineering Change Management
o Production Planning
o Purchasing
o Inventory Management
o Production Execution
o 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.
