This role is responsible for delivering expert SAP S/4HANA Finance support with a strong emphasis on end‑to-end Accounts Receivable processes, including customer master data, invoicing, payments, credit management, and collections. The position configures and optimizes core AR functionality while ensuring accurate financial integration through the Universal Journal and alignment with the General Ledger. It also drives seamless connectivity with customer portals, payment gateways, enterprise content management systems, and other SAP modules to support efficient order‑to-cash operations. In addition, the role partners closely with business and technical teams to lead requirements, design, testing, and continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen AR performance, controls, and user experience.

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on SAP S/4HANA Finance (FI) experience with deep focus on Accounts Receivable (AR) end-to-end (customer master, billing interface, invoicing, incoming payments, credit management, disputes, and collections).
• Experience leading AR process design workshops, translating complex business requirements into scalable SAP S/4HANA configurations while ensuring alignment with global process standards.
• Strong understanding of financial controls, compliance, and audit requirements (e.g., SOX), with the ability to embed appropriate validations, approvals, and documentation within AR processes and system design.
• Ability to analyze large AR datasets using SAP tools (Fiori apps, CDS views, SAP Analytics) to identify trends, root causes, and performance improvement opportunities across billing, cash application, and collections.

Responsibilities

• Configure and support core AR components including Customer Master, AR invoicing postings, incoming payment processing (lockbox/manual/electronic), clearing, dunning, credit/debit memos, and AR period-close activities.
• Strong working knowledge of S/4HANA Universal Journal (ACDOCA) impacts to AR, including revenue/AR postings, account determination, document splitting, taxes, and reconciliation to General Ledger (G/L).
• Experience with integration to customer portals/payment gateways for invoice presentment, payment status visibility, remittance processing, and dispute handling; define data mappings, validations, and exception management across systems.
• Proven delivery of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions (e.g., OnBase or similar) for invoice/backup document presentment and retrieval, including indexing, workflow, attachments, audit trail, and linkage to FI documents.
• Design and support FI integrations with other SAP modules such as Controlling (CO) (profitability/cost objects) and Revenue Accounting and Reporting where applicable.
• Partner with integration and development teams on interfaces and middleware (e.g., APIs/IDocs/BAPIs), ensuring secure, reliable processing, monitoring, and error resolution for AR-related integrations (billing outputs, EDI, lockbox, bank statements).
• Lead or support requirements gathering, fit-to-standard design, configuration, testing (ITC/UAT), cutover, and hypercare for AR enhancements, outputs, and integration changes.
• Create and maintain functional specs, test scripts, training materials, and operating procedures; provide user support and root-cause analysis for AR billing, cash application, and clearing issues.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders (AR, Collections, Credit, Sales, Treasury, IT) to drive process standardization, controls, compliance, and continuous improvement across AR and integrated order-to-cash workflows.
