SAP CO S/4 HANA Consultant - Remote + Travel - 6-12 Months+

The SME will be part of the Controlling Cost Allocation team. This is about overhead expense allocations (IT, staff function expenses) - in wave 3 they are multi-cycled and a bit more complex so the client decided on an additional allocation tool, PAPM (for PAPM itself we have already someone). This CO role is to align overhead expense postings and value flows in S4 to the FIM and corporate core design, alongside PAPM allocations, also to probably provide S4 standard (Universal Allocation) solutions next to PAPM.
