- Design and configure SAP CO across all sub-modules: Cost Center Accounting, Internal Orders, Product Cost Controlling, Material Ledger, Profitability Analysis, and Margin Analysis.
- Build and maintain the cost accounting master data concept: cost center hierarchies, cost element structures, activity types, statistical key figures, profit centers, and market segment characteristics.
- Support cost model design — standard and actual costing, overhead allocation, transfer pricing, and parallel valuation.
- Own CO integration points with FI, MM, SD, PP, PS, PM, and HR/Payroll; collaborate with the technical team on interfaces, custom developments, and data migration.
- Prepare and execute unit, integration, and user acceptance testing; support period-end simulation, cutover, and hypercare.
