Role: SAP PP/ MRP Consultant
Location: Campbellsville, KY (Onsite)
Client: Birlasoft
Rate: $80/Hr to $90/Hr
Job Type : Contract
Expected Deliverables
· Current-state planning flow assessment
· Root-cause analysis of shortages
Quantification of shortages attributable to:
· Supply lateness
· Planning logic
· Inventory accuracy
· Master data quality
· Tactical short term operating method to minimize material shortages
· Operation recommendations
· Configuration recommendations
· Custom development recommendations
· Effort/cost estimate for remediation options
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.
