The ideal candidate possesses deep structural knowledge of SAP FI, CO, and PS, and can confidently guide business and functional teams through SD and MM data dependencies during a carveout project., * Carveout Data Strategy: Define and execute the end-to-end data migration scope and strategy to isolate, extract, and reload specific company code data (both open items and historical closed records).

  • Data validation and Reconciliation: Establish a rigorous reconciliation framework to ensure that migrated open items, historical balances, and closed project finances perfectly tie back to the legacy system for audit compliance.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in SAP Data Migration, with proven experience leading data tracks for SAP Carveouts or company code splits.
  • Handling Closed Historical Data: Demonstrated experience successfully loading historical data into a live SAP or other target environment and migration of open items.
  • Core SAP Module Expertise: Deep understanding of data structures and tables within SAP FI (GL, AP, AR), CO (CCA, PCA), and Project Systems (PS - WBS elements, project structures, and historical cost allocations).
  • Cross-Module Familiarity: Ability to guide the other functional or technical teams through master and transactional data objects in Sales & Distribution (SD) and Materials Management (MM) as they relate to financial and project data.
  • Migration Toolsets: Proficiency with SAP LSMW or specialized carveout data tools.

Preferred Qualifications
