About the Role

This role focuses on ensuring accurate, compliant, and high-quality data migration during financial system transitions, particularly within SAP environments. The key responsibilities span data validation, chart of accounts alignment, and SAP environment setup.

Responsibilities

• Data Assessment & Quality Review
• Review and challenge source data extractions (Trial Balance, Open Items, Fixed Assets) by performing the usual integrity checks (checking that the sum of the auxiliary/non auxiliary open items is indeed equal to the general balance of the reconciliation G/L account, checking that the MRU does not create a VAT impact if we decide to take over the VAT manually or does not take over a duplicate VAT impact depending on the data migration strategy, checking that the auxiliary files for taking over fixed assets do indeed loop back to the trial balance, etc.).
• Ensure compliance with the Universal Accounting Data Migration Engine (MRU) templates and data specifications.
• Ensure compliance with rules of good accounting orthodoxy.
• Identify quality issues, inconsistencies, missing data.
• Chart of Accounts Mapping & Finance Alignment
• Lead the mapping between local charts of accounts and the Group chart of accounts.
• Establish and support the Data Migration Strategy Matrix that carry the data migration rules per G/L accounts (Balance vs Open Items vs Not Migrated).
• Make sure that the settings/key attributes of SAP G/L accounts respect the operation of the G/L accounts in the Legacy system. And vice versa. And if differences, they have to be well documented and validated by client. For instance, a target G/L non-auxiliary account for source auxiliary operations.
• Coordinate decisions with Group Finance and document all mapping rules and exceptions.
• Preparation of the SAP Environments
• Create / update general ledger accounts.
• Perform deduplication and migration of Business Partners (customers and vendors) based on name, National Unique ID (for example VAT ID Numbers) and address.
• Configure the MRU parameters for data loading.
