Onsite Job SAP PP/ MRP consultant at Campbellsville, KY

Hi ,

Hope you are doing well

Please find the Job Description (JD) below.

Role : Senior SAP PP Functional Consultant or Architect

Location : Campbellsville, KY- Onsite (Open for relocation)

What to look for -

• 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.

SAP PP/MRP Solution Consultant - Planned Order Scheduling & Constraint Logic

CONTEXT

Campbellsville, KY (CBV) is a plant site for CSS business producing rotary / reciprocating compressors. The site uses native SAP ECC 6.0 for the operations. The site is experiencing parts shortages in recent times. The consultant's expectation is to review the current set up and the outcomes from planning for execution, identify any opportunities or gaps to help with the resolution of material shortages.

Additional background

CBV (SAP ECC) is manually "firming" planned orders to hold the Customer Requested Date (CRD) despite material shortages, because standard ECC MRP does not natively reconcile order dates with component availability. CBV also runs Full Confirmation Logic active at the MRP group level, meaning firming is currently serving two distinct, entangled purposes: (1) freezing the date at CRD, and (2) protecting reserved quantities on well-stocked components from being reallocated by the next MRP run. A path forward requires someone who can evaluate both the technical fix and the behavioral risk of changing how firming is used.

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.
