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.
