• Project Systems (PS) Mastery: Configure and maintain Project Systems structures (WBS Elements, Networks) to track Capital Projects and automate the settlement process to Assets under Construction (AuC).
• Public Sector Integration: Ensure asset transactions correctly interface with Funds Management (FM) to track the use of appropriated funds for capital expenditures across the 3-dimensional budget structure.
• Technical Collaboration: Partner with developers to create custom asset forms, automated labeling interfaces, or enhancements to the asset master data to support federal reporting mandates (e.g., GSA reporting).
• Asset Data Migration: Lead the migration of complex legacy asset data, ensuring historical depreciation, accumulated costs, and mid-year transfer values are reconciled with the General Ledger.
• Testing & Validation: Write and execute comprehensive test plans for asset acquisitions, transfers, impairments, and depreciation runs, ensuring accuracy in multi-ledger environments.
• User Enablement: Deploy SAP Fiori apps for asset inventory, project monitoring, and real-time capital spend analytics to improve operational visibility.

• Proven experience with Capital Investment Management, including the settlement logic from projects to fixed assets.
• Strong integration knowledge, specifically between A2R and Procure to Pay (P2P) for asset procurement and Budget to Report (B2R) for financial statement reporting.
• Proficiency in Business Process Analysis, with the ability to lead “Fit-to-Standard” sessions and minimize customizations through standard SAP Asset Management features.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of translating complex accounting rules into technical system requirements for both finance and engineering stakeholders.
