Overview

If your SAP accounting needs support at short notice, there is no time to train someone in the system first. Loretta Schneiders works hands-on in the system – in SAP FI/CO, MM and VIM, in S/4HANA and in Business One – and takes over payables and receivables and supports closing work in live operations. If the system change itself is the topic, we support it as an ERP migration.

Situations

Typical situations in SAP accounting

A key role in your SAP accounting is vacant, and a new hire would need time to get to grips with company codes, approval workflows and reports.

After the move to S/4HANA, day-to-day operations are not yet running smoothly: VIM workflows are stuck, reconciliations between MM and FI are open, and the business needs a key user who understands both sides.

Or SAP ECC is still in use, and accounting needs to keep running stably and well documented until the S/4HANA decision is made. Mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP 6.0 (EhP 6–8) ends on 31 December 2027; extended maintenance is optionally available until the end of 2030 under SAP’s conditions.

What we take on

01

Accounts payable in SAP MM and FI, invoice verification and approval with SAP VIM.

02

Accounts receivable, payments, dunning and account clearing in SAP FI.

03

Contribution to monthly and annual closings under HGB and IFRS in SAP.

04

Key user role: translating accounting requirements for IT and the SAP partner, and running tests.

05

Work instructions and process documentation, so that workflows in the system stay transparent.

06

On request, automation of invoice receipt, approvals and payment matching – optionally via navyra.finance, commissioned separately and disclosed openly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions: Interim SAP Accounting

How does this differ from ERP migration in accounting?

This service covers day-to-day operations in an existing SAP landscape: postings, payables, receivables, support with closing work and key user tasks. If the change itself is the topic, for example from SAP ECC to S/4HANA or from another system to SAP, we support it under ERP migration in accounting. In practice the two often overlap, for instance when stabilising after go-live.

Which SAP modules and versions are covered?

Loretta Schneiders works with SAP FI/CO, MM and VIM and with SAP S/4HANA, where she was key user and tester in the payables process at KHD Humboldt Wedag. She also knows SAP Business One from her mandate at Wabtec. That covers large SAP landscapes in groups as well as leaner installations in mid-sized companies.

What does the end of SAP ECC maintenance mean for accounting?

Mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP 6.0 (EhP 6–8) ends on 31 December 2027; extended maintenance is optionally available until the end of 2030 under SAP’s conditions. For accounting, this means processes, master data and open items should be cleaned up and documented in good time, so that a later changeover starts from a stable base. Technical and contractual planning lies with IT and the SAP partner.

Can invoice approval in SAP VIM be improved?

Yes. At KHD Humboldt Wedag, Loretta Schneiders digitalised invoice approval with SAP VIM and handed over the payables processes with complete documentation. Typical starting points are clear approval rules, clean supplier master data and workflows without media breaks. How the mandate went is shown in the KHD case study.

How quickly is an interim professional productive in SAP?

Quickly, because the basic logic and workflows in SAP are familiar, and only company-specific settings, company codes and workflows are new. Referees confirm that Loretta Schneiders got to grips with their system landscape and processes in a very short time. We agree the start date after an initial conversation – the easiest way is the contact form.
