Sr. SAP S/4 - SAP FICO with Fixed Assest SME functional Consultant - 100% Remote

Role Summary Serve as the primary authority for Fixed AssetAccounting (FI-AA) design, configuration, and support within an SAP S/4HANAlandscape (Public Cloud, Private Cloud, or On-Premise). Own end-to-end assetaccounting processes — from chart of depreciation setup through year-endclosing — while ensuring integration with General Ledger, Controlling, andMaterials Management stays clean. Experience working on Finance projects which is also working with Project Systems.

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) [1] .

-
Parallel accounting / parallel valuation — Design depreciation area structures to support multiple accounting principles (local GAAP, IFRS, US GAAP) across parallel ledgers, understanding that each ledger has a fixed, non-changeable depreciation area assignment (e.g., ledger 0L = area 01, 2L = area 32, 3L = area 34) [1] .

-
Depreciation key configuration — Analyze and, where standard configuration doesn't cover the requirement, manage the SAP Expert Configuration Service process for new depreciation keys, including preparing the required depreciation key template and coordinating quality-system testing before go-live [1] .

-
Master data & migration — Lead legacy asset data migration using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, including staging table setup for fixed asset master data, postings, and usage objects, and troubleshoot common migration errors (e.g., legacy transfer date conflicts) [1] .

-
Period-end / year-end closing — Own the fixed asset side of period and year-end close, including running depreciation jobs, fiscal year change, and year-end closing/reset by depreciation area, typically via apps like Schedule Fixed Asset Accounting Jobs [2] and Make Company Code Settings – Asset Accounting-Specific [1] .

-
Reporting — Configure and support standard reporting: Asset Balances, Asset Transactions, Depreciation Lists, and Asset History Sheet, including enabling forecasted/future depreciation values [1] .

-
Segment/profit center reporting — Ensure fixed assets derive profit center and segment correctly (from cost center/internal order assignment) for consistent segment-level reporting, including running the "Fill Master Data for Segment Reporting" job for legacy assets [5] [2].

-
Integration — Manage cross-module dependencies with Controlling (cost center/internal order assignment), Materials Management (asset acquisition via PO), and Investment Management (Assets under Construction / WBS-based capitalization) [1] .

-
APIs & mass processing — Guide teams on OData APIs (e.g., API_FIXEDASSET_G4BA, API_FIXEDASSETACQUISITION_G4BA) for mass asset processing in Cloud environments, since the Migration Cockpit is migration-only and not meant for regular mass changes [1] .

-
Troubleshooting & incident resolution — Act as the escalation point for account determination errors, closing errors, and other configuration-lock issues (e.g., inability to change a G/L account once postings exist) [1] .

-
Governance — Ensure changes to productive configuration go through proper sandbox/development testing and transport before deployment; never modify productive settings directly.

Required Skills &Experience

- 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.

- Familiarity with relevant Fiori apps: Manage F
