Sr. SAP S/4 - SAP FICO with Fixed Assest SME functional Consultant - 100% Remote
About The Position
Serve as the primary authority for Fixed Asset Accounting (FI-AA) design, configuration, and support within an SAP S/4HANA landscape, including Public Cloud, Private Cloud, or On-Premise environments. Own end-to-end asset accounting processes, from chart of depreciation setup through year-end closing, and ensure clean integration with General Ledger, Controlling, Materials Management, and Project Systems. The role covers solution design and configuration, parallel accounting and valuation, depreciation key setup, legacy asset data migration, period- and year-end close, reporting, segment and profit center reporting, cross-module integrations, APIs and mass processing, troubleshooting, and configuration governance. Productive configuration changes must follow sandbox/development testing and transport procedures. The consultant will also monitor risks related to depreciation area and ledger assignments, account determination changes after postings, and legacy data transfer date conflicts. Country-specific localization exposure is a plus.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of hands-on SAP FI-AA configuration and support experience.
- Ideally, experience with at least one full SAP S/4HANA implementation or conversion.
- Strong understanding of parallel ledgers and parallel valuation, charts of depreciation, and depreciation area design.
- Experience with SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit for legacy asset data.
- Familiarity with relevant Fiori apps, including Manage Fixed Assets, Manage Legacy Assets, Post Asset Acquisition/Retirement/Revaluation, and Schedule Asset Accounting Jobs.
- Working knowledge of Asset Accounting CDS views for custom reporting, such as I_FixedAsset, I_DepreciationAreaForLedger, and I_AssetClass.
- Understanding of relevant OData/SOAP APIs and communication scenario SAP_COM_0563 for Fixed Asset integrations.
- Cross-module fluency in FI (G/L and AP) and CO (cost centers and internal orders) as they relate to asset postings.
Nice To Haves
- Exposure to country-specific or localization requirements, such as statutory asset reporting forms.
- Experience with SAP Activate methodology and Best Practice scope items, such as J62 – Asset Accounting and BFH – Assets Under Construction.
- Exposure to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition self-service configuration (SSCUI) activities for Asset Accounting.
Responsibilities
- Design and configure charts of depreciation, depreciation areas, asset classes, account determination, and valuation views aligned with the client's ledger strategy.
- Design depreciation area structures supporting multiple accounting principles across parallel ledgers.
- Manage the SAP Expert Configuration Service process for new depreciation keys when standard configuration does not meet requirements; prepare templates and coordinate quality-system testing.
- Lead legacy asset data migration using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, including staging setup and troubleshooting migration errors.
- Own fixed asset period- and year-end close activities, including depreciation jobs, fiscal year change, and closing or reset by depreciation area.
- Configure and support asset reporting, including asset balances, transactions, depreciation lists, and asset history sheets, and enable forecasted depreciation values.
- Ensure fixed assets derive profit center and segment correctly, including running the master-data fill job for legacy assets.
- Manage integration dependencies with Controlling, Materials Management, and Investment Management, including Assets under Construction and WBS-based capitalization.
- Guide teams on OData APIs for mass asset processing in Cloud environments and distinguish these uses from migration-only Migration Cockpit functions.
- Act as the escalation point for account determination errors, closing errors, and configuration-lock issues.
- Ensure productive configuration changes are tested in sandbox/development and transported before deployment; do not modify productive settings directly.
- Verify ledger-to-depreciation-area mappings before asset master data or postings exist.
- Check for existing postings before changing G/L accounts tied to asset account determination, and create a new account determination when necessary.
- Validate legacy transfer dates and fiscal-year status and confirm Balance Carry Forward has run before closing fiscal years.
