Entry Level Sap Fico Business Analyst Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Our client a consumer products company, is seeking an experienced, hands-on SAP B1 Finance functional consultant with a strong accounting background to help us review, correct, and optimize our existing SAP B1 environment.

The system is already fully implemented and operational. We have identified several areas where the existing configuration and processes need to be reviewed, corrected, standardized, or further automated. We are looking for someone who can understand the underlying accounting requirements, assess how they are currently configured and processed in SAP B1, identify gaps or incorrect configurations, and implement the necessary corrections directly in the system.

The main areas of focus would include:

• Price Lists and pricing configuration: review and optimize the existing price list structure, pricing hierarchy and dependencies, BP price list assignments, special prices/discount logic, and price determination across sales transactions; correct configuration where needed and simplify ongoing price maintenance.
  
• Cost accounting / profit centers: review of profit center and distribution rule configuration, including division assignments, default determination, allocation logic, and consistency of P&L reporting by division.
  
• G/L Account Determination: review of automatic account determination and posting logic across sales, purchasing, inventory, freight/landed costs, returns, and other relevant transactions.

• Intercompany configuration: establish dedicated intercompany A/R, A/P, sales, and COGS accounts and configure the appropriate account determination and mapping to the Business Partner in SAP B1.

• Inventory accounting: review of inventory valuation and posting configuration, inventory-related GL flows, GRPO/AP invoice processing, returns, adjustments, and related reconciliations.
  
• Landed Costs: review and correction of the current landed-cost process, including freight and duty allocation, capitalization, clearing/variance treatment, and related GL postings.

• Sales and returns processes: assess opportunities for automation, review of the Order-to-Cash flow, including sales orders, deliveries, A/R invoices, returns and credit memos, with a focus on correct accounting treatment

• Tax configuration and determination: review the current tax code setup and tax determination logic, including tax assignments currently maintained at the item level; configure the appropriate tax determination rules based on relevant transaction criteria (such as BP, ship-to location, item/item group, and transaction type), and ensure consistent tax treatment across sales, returns, and credit transactions.

• Financial reporting, queries and reconciliation: review SAP B1 financial report configuration and mappings, GL/BP reconciliation processes, and the existing query library; validate and clean up queries, remove obsolete or duplicate versions, standardize naming and organization, and document query logic and intended use.

• Authorizations and controls: review of user roles, authorizations, approval processes, posting controls, and segregation of duties where applicable.

• Integrations and automation: review of existing third-party integrations and manual processes to identify opportunities to improve data flow, controls, and automation within SAP B1.
