Projects

Here you will find information about my projects that I have worked on or are ongoing.

Project 1: SAP S/4HANA FSCM Collections Management

Project Overview
Implemented and optimized Collections Management capabilities within an SAP S/4HANA landscape, focusing on improving collection strategies, prioritization logic, and risk segmentation.

Context & Objective
During a finance transformation program, the client needed a more intelligent and data-driven way to identify high-risk customers and streamline collection efforts. The goal was to add custom collection rules on top of existing rules and introduce dynamic prioritization based on payment behavior and the number of items outstanding.

My Contribution

  • Designed and configured custom collection rules using 12-month payment patterns and aging history.

  • Worked with cross-functional teams to refine business logic, including payment discipline scoring, deviation thresholds, and segment-based treatment paths.

  • Facilitated testing cycles (ITC, FUT, UAT) for collection strategies, worklist generation, correspondence, and dunning alignment.

  • Supported collection specialists to validate expected customer behavior and ensure rule accuracy.

Solution Approach
Introduced data-driven collection prioritization by leveraging historic payment trends, aging buckets, and customer risk classifications. Built custom logic that ranked customers by delinquency patterns rather than simple open-item metrics, enabling collection teams to focus on accounts with the highest exposure.

Outcome / Impact

  • Improved accuracy of collection worklists.

  • Reduced manual sorting and analyst review time.

  • Strengthened cash-flow predictability by identifying chronic late payers early.

  • Provided a scalable framework for future automation and reporting.

Tools & Skills Used
FSCM Collections Management, SAP BP configuration, Collection Rules, Aging Analysis, UDM worklists, testing leadership, cross-functional collaboration.

Reflection / Learning
This project reinforced the value of blending financial logic with data-driven decision-making and strengthened my ability to design practical solutions that directly support working teams.

 


Project 2: SAP Accounts Payable – Banking Integration

Project Overview
Supported the end-to-end integration of SAP Accounts Payable with external banking systems to automate vendor payments and improve controls across the payment lifecycle.

Context & Objective
The finance team required a seamless AP–Bank connection to reduce manual intervention, improve processing time, and strengthen audit trails. The project included file formats, validation logic, exchange-rate handling, posting controls, and reconciliation.

My Contribution

  • Configured payment methods, bank determination, payment media, and validation checks for outbound files.

  • Participated in mapping and testing of bank-format integration (XML/EDI based).

  • Troubleshot FX rate behavior, error messages, and clearing settings during payment runs (F110, F-53, FB60 scenarios).

  • Coordinated between AP teams, banking partners, and technical teams to align integration rules and resolve discrepancies.

Solution Approach
Designed a consistent, automated payment workflow that validated data at the time of posting, ensured completeness of vendor/payment attributes, and generated compliant files for the banking interface. Introduced clear testing scripts for exception scenarios and multi-currency handling.

Outcome / Impact

  • Reduced manual bank uploads and processing time.

  • Improved accuracy of vendor payments and reduced rejections.

  • Strengthened compliance and traceability across the process.

  • Enabled future enhancements for automated reconciliation and payment monitoring.

Tools & Skills Used
SAP FI AP, payment program configuration, F110, house banks, XML payment formats, FX validation, cross-team coordination, integration testing.

Reflection / Learning
This project deepened my understanding of end-to-end payment automation and highlighted the importance of strong collaboration between finance, banking partners, and technical teams.
