[Hiring] Senior SAP S/4 - SAP FICO with Fixed Asset SME Functional Consultant @Simple Solutions

Role Description

Serve as the primary authority for Fixed Asset Accounting (FI-AA) design, configuration, and support within an SAP S/4HANA landscape (Public Cloud, Private Cloud, or On-Premise). Own end-to-end asset accounting processes — from chart of depreciation setup through year-end closing — while ensuring integration with General Ledger, Controlling, and Materials Management stays clean.

Key Responsibilities

• Solution design & configuration
  • Define chart of depreciation, depreciation areas, asset classes, account determination, and valuation views (e.g., Book, Tax, IFRS, US GAAP) aligned to the client's ledger strategy (leading ledger 0L, non-leading ledgers such as 2L/3L).
• Parallel accounting / parallel valuation
  • Design depreciation area structures to support multiple accounting principles (local GAAP, IFRS, US GAAP) across parallel ledgers.
• Depreciation key configuration
  • Analyze and manage the SAP Expert Configuration Service process for new depreciation keys.
• Master data & migration
  • Lead legacy asset data migration using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit.
• Period-end / year-end closing
  • Own the fixed asset side of period and year-end close.
• Reporting
  • Configure and support standard reporting: Asset Balances, Asset Transactions, Depreciation Lists, and Asset History Sheet.
• Segment/profit center reporting
  • Ensure fixed assets derive profit center and segment correctly for consistent segment-level reporting.
• Integration
  • Manage cross-module dependencies with Controlling, Materials Management, and Investment Management.
• APIs & mass processing
  • Guide teams on OData APIs for mass asset processing in Cloud environments.
• Troubleshooting & incident resolution
  • Act as the escalation point for account determination errors, closing errors, and other configuration-lock issues.
• Governance
  • Ensure changes to productive configuration go through proper sandbox/development testing and transport before deployment.

Qualifications

• 5+ years hands-on SAP FI-AA configuration and support experience, ideally across at least one full S/4HANA implementation or conversion.
• Strong understanding of parallel ledgers/parallel valuation concepts, chart of depreciation, and depreciation area design.
• Experience with SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit for legacy asset data.
• Familiarity with relevant Fiori apps: Manage Fixed Assets, Manage Legacy Assets, Post Asset Acquisition/Retirement/Revaluation, Schedule Asset Accounting Jobs.
• Working knowledge of CDS (Core Data Services) views relevant to Asset Accounting for custom reporting.
• Understanding of relevant OData/SOAP APIs and communication scenario SAP_COM_0563 for Fixed Asset integrations.
• Cross-module fluency in FI (G/L, AP) and CO (cost centers, internal orders) as they relate to asset postings.
• Exposure to country-specific / localization requirements is a plus.

Nice to Have

• Experience with SAP Activate methodology and Best Practice scope items.
• Exposure to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition self-service configuration (SSCUI) activities for Asset Accounting.

Risks & Monitoring
