Also, experienced with functionalities such as Revenue bearing Service Orders & Purchase Accounting.
Cost Saving efforts – Provided solutions which saved client\'s cost directly. 1) Customized a comprehensive Sales Tax Package for USA & Canada within SAP alone thus avoided the need of implementing third-party software. 2) Resolved a critical issue related with Transfer Pricing which would have required SAP\'s consulting services. 
FICO Roll-outs – Rolled-out FICO module to the legal entities in China (Dalian & Suzhou) and India (Bombay) based on the "Sulzer Pumps Global Template". 
Resolved challenging issues such as

  • enabling various legal entities to close controlling period as per their local time zones during the month end closing,
  • Currency & Valuation Profile – Allowing flexibility of using any Valuation Approach (legal, group, profit center) in Profit Center Accounting while keeping Material Ledger & Transfer Pricing active at legal entity level
  • Allowing legal entities to use local bank exchange rates for both realized and unrealized accounting postings

Project System Costing – Provided a solution that segregated material related "Plan Costs" and "Actual Costs" below WBS Elements level in a project structure using "Origin group" approach. It involved cost mapping between legacy & Global Template, creating Base-Planning object, Unit Costing for Plan cost, Material master assignment & Custom programs for Actual cost segregation. Report painter based Project Cost Report was also provided.
Result Analysis Calculation – Designed and Implemented various Result Analysis Methods for Projects (WBS elements) depending on the legal requirements in different countries. "Revenue-based", "Quantity-based" and "POC-based" RA methods were configured to calculate Revenue, Revenue Surplus, Revenue In-Excess of Billing, Cost of Sales, Reserves & Capitalized costs.

COPA issues –

  • Maintained Derivation Strategies (such as Enhancement, Table Lookup, Derivation Rule, Clear) extensively, Realigned Profitability Segments in all related master data, Removed/ Added new Characteristics, Value Fields in Operating Concern.
  • Provided a solution for populating custom fields (such as Pump Type) automatically in PA module after linking with SD tables. Created derivation rule for populating "Pump Family" characteristic after deriving Pump type.
  • Fixed a critical issue of populating characteristics in COPA in related with "Pass-through" Projects i.e. Projects having "Booking entity" and "Supplying entity" different.
  • Enabled data transfer from FI to COPA by defining PA Transfer Structure and new derivation strategies.

PCA issues –

  • Auto-populated Profit center in Material masters, Production orders that are created without materials
  • Corrected profit center determination criteria as per the business needs in various scenarios such as 1) when more than one cost object is present in an accounting line item or 2) when cost objects such as sales order, WBS elements, and production orders settled to G/L account.
  • Implemented transfer of all B/S and P&L accounts to PCA in real time and enabled reporting for various legal entities in their local (alternate) & group chart of accounts in PCA. This process required creation & installation of custom "Tables group" followed by creating Report writer Library, Sets, Variables and Reports.
  • Corrected historical profit center accounting data for various fields in PCA by re-transferring data from FI, MM, CO & SD modules.

US & Canada Sales Taxes –

  • Given the size of Sulzer Pumps in USA and Canada, Sales Taxation process has been perceived as a very complicated process. Saved huge costs by providing a customized solution within SAP thus avoided the need of purchasing additional tax software.
  • Customized sales tax exemption process that was based on not just "ship-to-party" but on the combination of "ship-to-party" and "payer" for both countries US and Canada.
  • Sales Tax determination process for facilitating trade between US and Canada was also developed by defining a custom Tax Category for Canada. Program for Auto upload/ download of sales tax rates for all Jurisdictions was also developed.
  • Requirements for special tax exemption scenarios such as (no tax for materials like labor, repair etc. for some US states, no GST for some Canada customers, reduced rates for some customers of Alabama & North Carolina) were also accommodated in SAP. A very flexible table was developed to calculate tax rates by adjusting customer classification & tax codes depending upon the parameters such as material, plant, ship-to-party, ship-to-region, ship-to-Jurisdiction, license etc. A custom solution was also provided to meet with special tax determination/exemption needs of Louisiana State in SAP. A very flexible sales tax report was also developed.

European VAT Taxes – Designed and Customized VAT Taxes for Great Britain & Germany as per European Single Market regulations.

Fields such as VAT Registration no., Tax Number, EU Code, EU Triangular deals were used for reporting in Sales List for Tax authorities. 
Lockbox – Worked extensively in lockbox. Enabled profit center population in lockbox accounting documents based on the invoice document. This was done by splitting lockbox documents to invoice level instead of posting it at "check" level. Enhancements, BTE & Substitution – userexit were used to achieve this. Lockbox file format was also reviewed and corrected.

It used the standard functionalities such as “Excel integrated planning”, “Splitting”, development of new “Planning Profiles” and “Planning Layouts” and non- standard functionalities such as integration of Visual Basic software.
  • During implementation various SAP standard and custom functionalities were used. Some important functionalities were Failure Cost Processing, Modified Cost Estimate, Current Cost Estimate, Splitting, Mixed costing, Additive cost estimate, Cross-company Costing, Costing Sheet, Order Splitting, Product Drilldown Reporting, Report-Writer Reporting, Summarization Hierarchy, Base Planning Object etc.

Profit Center Accounting (EC-PCA):
