SAP FI Configuration Consultant — Banking & Treasury (ECC) 100% REmote

SAP FI Configuration Consultant — Banking & Treasury (ECC)

Role summary

This role owns the SAP FI configuration and payment-format build for that onboarding . This is an adapt-and-migrate program, not a greenfield build: you will be working from an existing, working bank integration and reworking it for the new bank, so the ability to read, diff, and adapt an existing configuration is as important as the ability to build from scratch.

Key responsibilities

• Configure and maintain the payment program (FBZP): payment methods in country and company code, bank determination (ranking, bank accounts, available amounts, value dating), and payment medium setup.
• Build and maintain the outbound payment file format in the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE / transaction DMEE) for ISO 20022 pain.001.001.03, including node mapping from payment source structures (FPAYH/FPAYP), constants, conditions, and mapping exits/routines.
• Analyze the new bank's Message Implementation Guide (MIG) against the existing bank's DMEE structure and design/execute the delta changes (bank-ID conventions, payment-type information, remittance handling, identifier and character-set rules).
• Configure Electronic Bank Statement (EBS): account symbols, posting rules, and mapping of the bank's BAI2 transaction (type) codes to SAP posting rules (OT83); set up statement import (FF.5) and reprocessing (FEBAN/FEBA).
• Set up the check Positive Pay / Account Reconciliation (ARP) outbound file — via a DMEE flat-file tree or in coordination with a custom extract — including transaction-code logic and payee-validation data requirements.
• Configure banking master data: bank master, house banks and account IDs, and the associated GL/clearing account structure.
• Partner with the SAP PI/PO consultant on file transport, message routing, and the division of formatting logic between ECC and PI/PO; support any PGP encryption requirements.
• Support the full test cycle: XML schema validation of payment output, bank certification/penny tests/ACH prenotes, BAI2 import testing against bank-provided samples, and Positive Pay confirmation.
• Support cutover and parallel-run planning (running the new bank alongside the existing one before retiring the old channel).
• Produce configuration documentation and functional specifications for any custom (ABAP) development.

Required skills and experience

• Strong SAP FI configuration experience on SAP ECC, with deep focus on the banking/payments and Treasury area (not general-ledger-only FICO).
• Hands-on DMEE experience building or heavily modifying payment format trees — this is essential and will be assessed in interview. Candidates without direct DMEE build experience are not a fit for this role.
• Practical knowledge of ISO 20022 payment messaging (pain.001, and ideally pain.002 status reports); understanding of US payment types (ACH — CCD/PPD/CTX — and wires) is a strong plus.
• Electronic Bank Statement configuration experience, including BAI2 (and/or MT940) transaction-code-to-posting-rule mapping in OT83.
• FBZP / Automatic Payment Program (F110) configuration and bank determination.
• Bank master, house bank, and GL/clearing account setup.
• Ability to read a bank Message Implementation Guide and translate it into SAP configuration.
• Ability to write functional specifications and collaborate with ABAP developers on exits/routines.

Nice to have

• Experience with check Positive Pay / Payee Positive Pay file formats
• Prior bank-migration or bank-onboarding project experience (adapting an existing integration to a new bank).
• Familiarity working alongside SAP PI/PO and understanding where format transformation can live (ECC vs. middleware).
• Exposure to PGP-encrypted file exchange and SFTP-based bank connectivity.
• Experience in a consumer-products / retail environment with high transaction volumes.
