This role is responsible for designing, configuring, and supporting integrated SAP processes that connect order-to-cash, financial accounting, tax determination, and statutory e-invoicing/reporting compliance across multiple countries.

The ideal candidate understands how billing documents (SD), financial postings (FI), and tax determination/calculation logic feed into and trigger SAP DRC eDocuments, and can troubleshoot issues end-to-end across all four functional areas.

• Understanding of global e-invoicing and e-reporting mandate
• Detailed Knowledge of e-document cockpit, monitoring apps, and correspondence configuration
• Design and maintain end-to-end process Interoperability between SD billing, FI invoicing/accounting documents, Tax determination, and DRC eDocument creation.
• Analyze and resolve issues where invoice data breaks across the SD → FI → Tax → DRC chain (e.g., incorrect tax codes causing eDocument rejections).
• Partner with Tax, Finance, Sales Operations, and IT teams to translate statutory and business requirements into unified system configuration.

SAP DRC (Document and Reporting Compliance)

• Configure source document mapping (SD billing docs, FI invoices, MM documents) into eDocument creation processes.
• Manage eDocument formats (XML, UBL, CII, Factur-X) and transmission to government/tax authority platforms.
• Monitor and troubleshoot via eDocument Cockpit and Manage Electronic Documents apps; resolve transmission failures and rejections.
• Maintain business partner master data compliance identifiers (VAT ID, SIREN/SIRET, GSTIN, etc.) with correct validation and prioritization logic.
• Ensuring interoperability between SAP S/4HANA and Govt tax systems

SD (Sales & Distribution)

• Configure billing document types, output determination, and pricing procedures that impact downstream tax and DRC processing.
• Ensure billing document data (customer master, condition records, pricing) is accurate and complete to support compliant invoice generation.
• Troubleshoot billing block issues, incomplete billing documents, and output/eDocument trigger failures.

FI (Finance)

• Configure and support FI invoice posting, accounting document types, and tax G/L account determination.
• Ensure accurate mapping between accounting documents and eDocument creation triggers.
• Support period-end/legal reporting activities, reconciliations, and postings related to statutory invoice reporting.
• Collaborate on intercompany billing, credit/debit memo processing, and cross-company code transactions impacting tax and compliance reporting.

Tax

• Good understanding of tax determination logic (condition-based or Tax Determination via external tax engines like Vertex, OneSource, SAP TDF) to ensure correct tax codes flow into SD/FI and downstream DRC reporting.
• Support VAT/GST compliance, intra-community transactions, reverse charge scenarios, and jurisdiction-specific tax rules.
• Analyze legal/tax mandate changes (e.g., new e-invoicing mandates, VAT rate changes, tax reporting formats) and assess system impact across SD, FI, and DRC.
• Support tax audits by ensuring traceability of tax calculation, invoice data, and statutory reporting submissions.
• Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Information Systems, or related field.
• 3+ years of SAP functional experience across SD, FI, and Tax, with 1+ years hands‑on experience in SAP DRC (or SAP Document Compliance/ACR).
• Strong understanding of order-to-cash and invoice-to-report process flows within SAP S/4HANA.
• Experience configuring tax determination (native SAP condition logic or third-party tax engines).
• Familiarity with eDocument frameworks, XML/UBL/CII formats, and country-specific e-invoicing/e-reporting mandates.
• Experience with business partner master data configuration for tax/compliance identifiers.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills across integrated modules (not siloed to one function).
• Excellent communication skills; able to explain cross-functional technical issues to Tax, Finance, and Sales stakeholders.
