• Evaluate standard D365 capabilities, third-party solutions, and proposed extensions with the solution architect; document limitations and validate designs using realistic project scenarios
• Define reporting requirements for budgets, actuals, commitments, forecasts, variances, and POC; partner with data and business intelligence resources to reconcile reports to source transactions and the general ledger
• Own functional mapping and validation for open projects, budgets, forecasts, WIP, and related balances; coordinate migration execution with the data engineer and business owners
• Lead testing of project and manufacturing cost flows, forecast changes, billing, and period-end scenarios; investigate variances and secure business acceptance
• Train project managers and controllers on recurring cost-review, forecasting, POC, and project-close procedures
• Support cutover, initial project reporting, post-go-live stabilization, and transition to ongoing support across Komline's implementation portfolio
