Odoo Functional Consultant

The Odoo Functional Consultant owns the design, configuration and support of Odoo across the group's retail operations, with Odoo as the primary platform. A working knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Sales & Distribution (SD) and Materials Management (MM) is needed to support the interfaces between SAP and Odoo while both systems run side by side.

Job Description

• Gather business requirements and translate them into functional specifications (FSDs) for Odoo configuration, custom reports, forms/outputs, interfaces, data conversions and enhancements.

• Configure Odoo modules end to end (Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Warehousing, Accounting, Point of Sale) and lead fit-gap analysis against standard Odoo before any customisation is approved.

• Write clear functional specifications for the development team (Python/XML) and review delivered work against the specification.

• Provide first-level functional support on SAP SD/MM issues and work with the SAP team on resolution.

• Design and monitor interfaces between Odoo, SAP S/4HANA, eCommerce platforms, 3PL warehouses and other third-party systems.

• Support data migration from SAP to Odoo: mapping, cleansing, load templates, reconciliation and cut-over planning.

• Plan and run unit tests, integration tests, user acceptance tests (UAT) and regression tests.

• Train process owners and end users, produce user guides and training material, and own knowledge transfer.

• Define and maintain user access roles and access rights in Odoo, in line with segregation-of-duties rules.

• Analyse and resolve incidents and change requests within agreed service levels, and record root cause and resolution.

• Proactively propose process and system improvements that reduce manual work and operating cost.
