SAP finance broken or implementing FI/CO.Verified FICO consultants ready in minutes.

The PM scopes the close blocker in the first 15 minutes. In a Starter session the FICO consultant traces the imbalance: they reconcile the General Ledger against sub-ledgers using FBL3N/FAGLB03 line items, check whether the document split (in New GL or the Universal Journal ACDOCA) is producing balanced entries per the splitting characteristics, and verify foreign-currency valuation and exchange-rate types in OB08. They review parked or held documents, incomplete intercompany postings, and any FI-MM or FI-SD reconciliation differences in the GR/IR clearing account. For period-control failures they check the open/close posting periods in OB52 and the variant assignment. You receive the identified root cause, the corrected configuration or postings, and a reconciled trial balance so the close can complete the same session.

Yes, FICO configuration is fully remote. The PM scopes whether you need a copy of an existing company code or a greenfield build. The consultant configures the enterprise structure: company code (OX02) with its assignment to the controlling area and operating concern, the operational chart of accounts and its assignment in OB62, fiscal year variant (OB29), posting period variant (OBBO/OB52), field status variants, and document number ranges. They set up the bank master, house banks, and payment program configuration (FBZP) for the automatic payment run, define tax codes and procedures for the relevant jurisdiction, and configure tolerance groups for users and GL accounts. In Controlling they build the cost element, cost center, and profit center hierarchies. The consultant documents the configuration as a build sheet so it is repeatable and auditable across your landscape.

The PM scopes which phase you are in. For a new implementation the consultant configures the Universal Journal (ACDOCA) as the single source of truth, sets up the new Asset Accounting (mandatory ledger approach with parallel valuation), configures Material Ledger as the inventory valuation engine, and builds the New Asset Accounting depreciation areas. For a conversion (Brownfield) the consultant runs the SAP-provided pre-checks and the customizing migration, executes the data migration of balances and open items into ACDOCA, reconciles the migrated balances against the legacy totals, and validates that the line-item reporting in the new Fiori apps matches the prior reports. They also remap your classic GL accounts and cost elements into the unified G/L-account-as-cost-element model. You get a reconciliation pack proving the converted ledgers tie out to the source.

Yes. The PM scopes your source landscape the number of source systems and whether they are SAP ECC, S/4HANA, or non-SAP. The consultant configures the Central Finance hub: the SLT (SAP Landscape Transformation) replication for real-time financial document posting, the AIF (Application Interface Framework) error handling and monitoring, and the MDG mapping for cost centers, profit centers, GL accounts, and other master data harmonisation across the differing source structures. They set up the initial load of historical documents and balances, the ongoing replication, and the reconciliation reports that compare source-system totals against the Central Finance ledger. For consolidation they connect Group Reporting on top of the harmonised data. The consultant documents the mapping rules and the AIF monitoring runbook so your team can resolve replication errors without re-engaging.

A recurring engagement covers the finance operations that recur every period. The consultant supports the month-end and year-end close: foreign currency valuation, GR/IR regrouping, recurring entries, accruals, and the closing cockpit task list. They maintain the automatic payment program (F110) when banks, payment methods, or formats change, troubleshoot failed payment runs, and manage the bank statement import and reconciliation (FF.5/electronic bank statement). In Controlling they support cost center planning, assessment and distribution cycles, settlement rules, and overhead allocations. They handle tax configuration changes when rates or regulations shift, validation and substitution rules (OB28/GGB1), and new GL account or cost element creation. They also resolve user authorization gaps for finance transactions and document every change so audit and SOX requirements stay satisfied.
