SAP Order BOM

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: 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.

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.
