SAP FICO ARCHITECT

Role

Lead the SAP Finance design for a Mexico business carve-out in SAP ECC 6.0 EHP8. Selected plants/business areas will be separated from the existing structure and moved into new company codes.

What the Architect Will Own

• Assess the complete FICO impact of the carve-out.
• Design the target company-code, cost-center, profit-center, GL, asset, customer and vendor structure.
• Define old-to-new mapping for every affected Finance object.
• Decide what is copied, what gets a new number, what stays, and what must move.
• Define how balances, open invoices, assets and other Finance data will move.
• Guide the final movement from the old structure to the new company codes.
• Lead cutover, validation, and financial reconciliation.
• Work with MM, SD, PP, EWM, Tax, Data Migration and Technical teams.

Example:

If Cost Center 100045 belongs to the carved-out business, define the target Cost Center, for example 200045, its hierarchy, profit-center link, open commitments, reporting and related dependencies. Apply the same approach to all affected Finance objects.

Finance Scope
