Logistics Team Lead – Logistics and OTC – SD/MM/IM

OpCo project is for Migrating Unites states smokeless tobacco all OTC and Logistics functionality from JDE to SAP,thereby increasing
forecasting and inventory visibility throughout the supply chain and enabling case tracing capability for smokeless products at the Public
Warehouses (PWs)

Implemented this end to end project starting from Business requirements gathering through initial and Final design and functional and
technical development for the FRICE.

The scope of this project includes SD and MM /IM/PP Modules with interfaces to MIP (Legacy manufactiuring MES system) in the following
areas:

Production receipts:Interfaces with MIP and JDE system for production receipts in to ECC 6.0 for each combination for QA batch release
and case trace status with corresponding automatic bovements between the storage locations and QA/Blocked/Unresrticted statuses.

Batch Management: Batch management was enabled at material level with SLED. The design was to have cooler time , remaining shelf
life, minimum remaining shelf life for wholesaler (beyond which a product cannot be shipped to wholesaler). Batch determination in sales
order based on business rules.

Freight and Transportation: Routes and Route determination, deliveries and shipments for various OTC and stock transfer scenarios ,
interface with legacy shipping system(for bulk shipments) and UPS world ship system (for small shipments), handling of short
shipments,load planning tool development for factory to plan despatches.

Enabled cross docking functionality via Public warehouses to customers for short shelf life products and direct sale (Regular and rush
orders) from Factory/ Public warehouses for long shelf life products.Logistics cycle was also enabled for international sales ( pure make to
order), Snus and Samples.

SO MRP and firms planned orders again and prints hard card. Custom transaction is used for costing of Sales order. SO is claimed
(sales order stock generated and production order created). Sales order, serial number and case number are verified. Defined pricing
procedures for the SO. Custom program issues components to production order and SO stock processed via movement type 101.
