SAP Order BOM

Role -SAP OM&E Consultant / Solution Architect – Order BOM

Location - open for travel (ideally in pacific & central time)

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. Required SAP Skills • Strong SAP Order BOM knowledge • SAP PP / Manufacturing • SAP SD integration • SAP MM integration • BOM configuration and BOM explosion • MRP and production planning • Production/Planned Orders • Engineering Change Management • Variant Configuration knowledge • Make-to-Order / Engineer-to-Order processes • Material master and production master data • Cross-functional integration across Engineering, Planning, Procurement, Production, and Sales Preferred Experience • 7+ years of SAP functional/solution experience • Multiple SAP manufacturing implementations • Experience with complex configurable or engineered products • Experience in industrial manufacturing, aerospace & defense, machinery, automotive, high-tech, or similar environments • SAP S/4HANA implementation or transformation experience • Experience leading Order BOM design workshops and translating business requirements into SAP solutions
