Job Description

The ERP Data Entry & Testing Analysts will support a manufacturing initiative focused on bringing more production capabilities in-house. The company currently purchases certain materials/components at a higher level within its Bill of Materials and now needs to build out significantly more detailed item and component data within its ERP environment.

During the first 1–2 months, the team will primarily focus on:

Entering and configuring potentially 10,000–30,000 individual parts/items Setting up required item attributes Identifying whether items are make-or-buy Associating individual parts with the appropriate BOMs Validating data accuracy and completeness Using Excel to compile data before ERP entry Tracking weekly progress and creating metrics showing how much data has been completed As the data is established, the role will increasingly transition into ERP and manufacturing process testing. Analysts will: Confirm newly loaded parts properly flow into the appropriate BOMs Test MRP functionality Validate that MRP is correctly pulling part, inventory, and order information Verify production orders are created correctly Test how production orders move through different work centers Identify data or system issues and work with the team to troubleshoot them Participate in end-to-end testing of the manufacturing workflow By the end of the project, the goal is to validate that materials and production requirements can successfully flow through the ERP system from initial item setup through manufacturing and ultimately shipment. The manager is specifically looking for people who will operate as a collaborative, proactive team, rather than simply completing assigned data-entry tasks. The ideal candidate will be curious about how the manufacturing process works, comfortable reaching out to stakeholders for answers, and interested in understanding why the data is being entered and how it impacts downstream processes.
