SAP B1 & BEAS Manufacturing Consultant

Key Responsibilities

3.1 SAP B1 & BEAS Functional Support

Serve as the single point of contact for day-to-day functional support of SAP Business One and BEAS Manufacturing across all user departments.

Receive, prioritise, and resolve user tickets and queries across SAP B1 core modules (Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Production, Finance, MRP) and BEAS modules (Shop Floor, Routings, Work Orders, APS, Quality, Subcontracting).

Configure master data, document settings, approval procedures, authorisations, user roles, print layouts, and BEAS configurators in line with business requirements.

Liaise with the Boyum IT / SAP B1 implementation partner for escalations, patches, version upgrades, and licensing matters.

Maintain a structured issue log and knowledge base of recurring problems, workarounds, and resolutions to enable faster turnaround over time.

3.2 Business Process Mapping & Configuration

Study existing business processes across manufacturing, supply chain, sales, and finance; map them to standard SAP B1 and BEAS Manufacturing functionality.

Configure and fine-tune BEAS Manufacturing for routings, work centres, BOMs, production orders, shop-floor data collection, APS scheduling, subcontracting, and quality control flows.

Identify gaps between business requirements and standard functionality; recommend best-practice solutions, workarounds, or custom enhancements (UDFs, UDTs, formatted searches, queries, Boyum B1 Usability Package add-ons).

Prepare and maintain Business Blueprints, functional specifications (FS), configuration documents, test scripts, and user manuals for all process changes.

3.3 Reports, Analytics & Master Data Governance

Design and develop reports, dashboards, and queries in SAP B1 and BEAS using Crystal Reports, Print Layout Designer (PLD), SAP HANA / SQL queries, and BEAS report tools to meet management and operational reporting needs.

Establish master data governance standards for item masters, BOMs, routings, business partners, price lists, and chart of accounts; conduct periodic data quality reviews.

Monitor key KPIs such as on-time delivery, production order variances, inventory accuracy, and rejection rates by pulling structured data out of SAP B1 / BEAS for business reviews.

Drive data clean-up initiatives, periodic reconciliation between SAP B1 and BEAS, and ensure compliance with statutory reporting (GST, e-invoicing, e-way bills) within the ERP.

3.4 User Training & Change Management

Plan and deliver structured training sessions for end-users, key users, and new joiners on SAP B1 core modules and BEAS Manufacturing functionality.

Coordinate with department heads to identify training needs, build role-based learning paths, and assess user proficiency.

Drive change management activities for system enhancements, version upgrades, and new module rollouts, ensuring smooth adoption with minimal business disruption.

Maintain up-to-date Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), user guides, and quick-reference cards for all key transactions and workflows.

3.5 Continuous Improvement, Compliance & Project Support

Partner with business teams to identify opportunities to leverage SAP B1 and BEAS more effectively for productivity, traceability, and decision-making.

Ensure system access controls, segregation of duties, data backups, audit trails, and statutory compliances are maintained in line with internal IT and information-security policies.

Support special projects such as new plant / location rollouts, module upgrades, addition of localisation packs, and integration with customer or supplier portals.
