• Configure product costing: costing variants, cost component structure, costing sheets and overhead, valuation, costing runs (CK40N), mark and release
• Design cost object controlling for discrete or repetitive production: WIP, variances, settlement (KKAO, KKS1, KO88 / CO88)
• Configure assessment and distribution cycles, OKB9 defaults and PCA settings
• Design capex controlling with FI: WBS or internal order collecting cost and settling to assets under construction, with budget availability control
• Plan the initial standard cost load at go-live and reconcile inventory value with Finance
• Write functional specifications for CO reports and enhancements and support ABAP development
• Prepare and execute unit, integration and user acceptance tests; resolve defects
• Support data migration of cost centres, activity rates and standard costs
• Train key users and end users; run the first month-end closes in hypercare

• At least 2 implementations as CO lead or module owner
• Hands-on product costing and cost object controlling in a manufacturing company
• Strong integration knowledge with FI, MM, PP and SD
• Experience delivering within a corporate SAP template or global rollout
• Experience with month-end close design and execution.

Technical Skills:

• Cost centre accounting: master data, planning (KP06, KP26), allocations (KSU1, KSV1), variances
• Profit centre accounting and derivation
• Product costing: OKKN, OKTZ, KZS2, CK11N, CK40N, CK24
• Cost object controlling: production orders and product cost collectors, results analysis, variance keys, settlement profiles
• Investment controlling: WBS or internal orders, settlement to AuC, budget profiles
• Material valuation: standard price, price differences; material ledger awareness
• CO reporting: Report Painter / Report Writer and standard reports

Desirable:

• Migration from a non-SAP ERP (IFS, Oracle, JD Edwards or similar)
