Role SummaryWe are seeking a senior SAP SD (Sales & Distribution) consultant with strong FI/CO integration knowledge to support the build of an Order-to-Cash (OTC) visibility. This will give business users end-to-end traceability from contract through sales order, delivery, shipment, billing, and accounting documents, all the way to payment and clearing – including identifying which incoming payment cleared which invoice, and surfacing exception scenarios such as over-payments, under-payments, and partially cleared or long-open invoices.This is a discovery-heavy role: the consultant must be able to reverse-engineer how the client’s SD and FI processes are configured today (document types, copy controls, account determination, clearing logic) from system behaviour and data – and translate that understanding into data/reporting requirements for the product team.2.
