• Work with Finance business users, technical colleagues, and external support partners to gather information, test fixes, and support resolution of system and integration issues.
• Support SAP configuration and system change activities, including test execution, documentation, validation of results, and support for business testing.
• Build knowledge of how SAP Finance works alongside other SAP functional areas such as Sales & Distribution (SD) and Procurement / Materials Management (MM), gaining exposure to cross-functional processes including order-to-cash and procure-to-pay.
• Develop an understanding of how financial transactions flow through SAP and connected systems, including upstream sources, downstream postings, and reporting impacts
