Landscape

We have separate SAP systems for UK, US, German, Australian and a system for OE group consolidations.

We use the Boyum product extensively to enhance the capabilities of SAP and also make use of SPTN and SPPTN for data control and validation.

We make extensive use of SQL stored procedures for data retrieval from SAP into our web front-end to SAP and also into Excel (purely for reporting purposes)

PowerBI is in use for analytical reporting but this not part of the developer role currently. All the data is SAP driven.

We have developed numerous software solutions that provide a web front-end to SAP and that run various background processes to update data automatically. These solutions are written in combinations of SAP DIAPI, T-SQL, .net (VB and C#), BPA, html and Javascript

The OE web front-end is only used by OE employees or suppliers, it is not a web commerce system and the priority is on the easy and efficient processing of data from, and to the SAP system.

The web front-end loads data from the SAP database and allows user update which is then written back to the server with detailed updates to SAP done within DIAPI processes. The system is in use throughout the group company locations updating the appropriate company systems.

We have a small footprint in Azure which is used to store documents for access from the OE web front end to SAP for remote access.

There is a warehouse management system (currently from a third party) which uses handheld scanners integrated to SAP using DIAPI solutions. This system is due to be replaced with either a different third-party product or an internally developed solution.

The systems used in SAP are: –

Finance including banking

Stock management

BOMS and production

Sales orders and quotes

Complaints (using service system)

Purchasing

MRP

CRM (via web front-end)

A third manufacturing execution system (MES) is in use (Lynq) and integrated to SAP to allow for the planning of production orders using drag and drop functionality.

 

OE added functionality

Inter-company processing

Automates the creation of downstream documents in the appropriate company database from source documents i.e. sales order in US creates sales order in UK system, sales invoice in UK creates purchase invoice in US etc. This creates a fully automated system where possible to avoid re-keying of documents.

OE1

This is the web front-end to SAP which contains the following elements

· CRM Used by all sales people to record and manage sales opportunities.

· Third party updates i.e. logistics partners

· Access to production documentation by shop floor operatives

· Stocktaking routines

This may be extended in the near future to include WMS and shop floor data collection routines.

Forecasting – Data is used from the sales opportunities system in order to create potential forecasts for use in MRP by purchasing. This effectively provides integration between sales opportunities and purchasing to allow for the planning of long lead time items.

OCR – Allows for the automatic creation of sales orders from purchase order pdf (currently via a third party)

Master data synchronisation – Users and item master data is all controlled from the UK system and synchronised to the other company systems

OE Group consolidation – Summarises individual OE company data to the group level

Sales order firewall – Orders cannot be released unless they meet a strict and detailed criteria which is controlled via complex Boyum rules.

Automatic creation of production orders once sales order released – Once sales orders are released the production order is automatically created and issued to production for planning and release to shop floor

Despatch consolidations – Web-based system to consolidate multiple sales orders onto one delivery

Process credit card payments –Integration with Barclaycard to receive payments from customers which is allocated to ledgers automatically.

Integration with HR system –Extracts shift pattern, holiday and sickness data to create resource availability for the MES
