CORE EXPERTISE REQUIRED
Deep, hands-on SAP ECC Production Planning (PP). ATP and MRP configuration MRP groups, MRP1 4
views, lead-time scheduling, and MRP group level confirmation settings (OPPR/OPPJ)
Working fluency with Full vs. Partial Confirmation Logic and its interaction with component availability checks
(MDVP), evaluated as a business trade-off, not just a config toggle
Practical experience with planned order firming behavior what it freezes, what it doesn t, and how it can silently
serve two unrelated purposes at the same site
Ability to evaluate configuration, process, and custom-development alternatives, including BAPI-based
automation where justified.
Ability to audit an existing shortage report and confirm whether its logic reflects the same committed-quantity
calculation as the confirmation logic setting
ADJACENT SKILLS THAT MATTER
MD04/MD11/MD12 exception-message literacy distinguishing a real signal from a silently wrong one
Change-management instinct: able to interview planners and separate habitual firming from deliberate,
reservation-protecting firming
SENIORITY LEVEL
Senior SAP PP functional consultant or architect not a generalist SAP administrator. Ideally someone who has
designed or corrected constraint-aware scheduling logic before, with prior exposure to a factory that outgrew standard
ECC MRP and had to choose between custom BAPI automation.
