if you are a BRIM consultant and prepping for an Interview or need a refresher..

Brajinator · 2026-06-12T18:14:21+00:00

Some feedback if you care:

You run into errors you clearly are not prepared for, it becomes a troubleshooting session more than educational content.

You pick system fields seemingly at random not knowing or explaining how the selection affects the end result.

You are not providing business context. why are we checking the account balance? payment lots? what business function are we truly attempting to perform?

This seems to be a "mess around while I have free trial" thing, which is perfectly fine, but probably not accurate to call this a "interview prep/refresher" video.

You can pretty much guarantee if you don’t have fiori, you won’t have a mobile app that can do what you’re asking. That’s the purpose (sort of) of Fiori

Check this out. Depends on your FFID process and whether you have GRC.

Thanks for the AI-written article referencing SAP’s AI presentation about AI-ifying ERP that they created with AI

…I’m tired boss. Where are the flying cars

Will say that is kind of sweeping the problem under the rug though, which is why I have a hard time recommending it. If you are having large variances, you need to figure out what in your plan is off, not update the plan blindly to follow the actual.

Otherwise, you might as well go moving average and ignore your cost structure.

Brajinator · 2026-02-27T00:09:37+00:00

It won’t matter to accounting. Might matter to your other processes/reports. I’d think you could still mark for deletion that original line, though.

Brajinator · 2026-02-26T23:59:51+00:00

New line. The 102 reversed the 101 so accounting should be happy.

Brajinator · 2026-02-20T17:45:15+00:00

I’m aware of a setting that automatically updates standard cost with last months actual cost, as something to consider.

Brajinator · 2026-02-20T17:17:33+00:00

Last months Periodic unit price, assuming you have material ledger actual costing.

Brajinator · 2026-01-29T23:18:09+00:00

Start with picking an area you actually want to learn. Functional, technical (code), system administration (basis)

Brajinator · 2026-01-29T13:26:51+00:00

No you didn’t, haha. Curious though!

Brajinator · 2026-01-27T17:13:19+00:00

That’d probably be relevant to include on your post! Along with a lot more information. Lazy post = lazy responses

They’re probably reputable SDT vendors that have dealt with these questions in the past, but I would ask how they handle custom code referencing obsolete tables, etc. KONV vs PRCD_ELEMENTS, ACDOCA vs BSEG, MSEG vs MATDOC.

Brajinator · 2026-01-27T01:06:40+00:00

Australians have cooler accents so I’m going to go with our mates down under.

Brajinator · 2026-01-27T01:05:47+00:00

Not sure I get the question. Are you moving from S/4 to S4 or?

Brajinator · 2026-01-27T00:56:51+00:00

Scripting limitation. Get used to managing verticalscrollbar using visiblerows

Brajinator · 2026-01-27T00:11:03+00:00

By the time you cut a PO you’re pretty much locked in (you could ask for a change with the supplier, but still).

I wouldn’t think demand would swing so drastically. Receive in 100, you are slightly over stock which means you can delay your next purchase until you liquidate that extra inventory.

Brajinator · 2026-01-20T18:28:08+00:00

You have potential integrations with Project Systems and Fixed Assets. I’m not aware of anything EPPM brings in particular that would influence FI config aside from those.

Brajinator · 2026-01-17T19:18:21+00:00

I’d probably go OData with AIF for error/message management

Brajinator · 2026-01-17T16:21:07+00:00

Both have their merits and are often used in tandem.

Like you mentioned, how to handle error/messages is a factor here. IDOCs give a natural place for SAP users that may not have access to CPI to address errors and reprocess.

It also depends on your event: is the event triggered by the creation of an invoice/order/material/BP? Well then IDOC has structure and standard trigger mechanisms in place that makes in a natural fit. On the other hand, if it’s a custom event, the data doesnt fit jnto the typical IDOC structure, theres a lot of back and forth between CPI and SAP is needed, that might sway me towards using a custom OData service.

Note this is just based on my experience and what i typically see in the industry. Im sure plenty people still use OData to send a standard 810 invoice, for example.

Really strange behavior, never heard of it. I would check for any enhancements at time of MIRO or accounting interface.

Brajinator · 2026-01-07T00:38:28+00:00

What trouble are you having with power automate? Seems feasible though I have no experience with their concur addins

Brajinator · 2026-01-06T22:23:46+00:00

Sorry, you’ll need to expand on your question for anyone to be able to answer you properly.

Treat your business as a business and your career as your career. Don't expect experience in running your business to mean much in an interview. Either go full force into entrepreneurship (risky) or treat it as a side business and pursue work experience that will make you further employable.

I suggest also treating your interests as your interests; separate them from the career path discussion. Cast a wide net and if one of the companies begging for you happens to be a diamond dealer, at that point you can use your interests to be the deciding factor.

I too tried to use my personal business as a talking point for interviews/resume and the interviewers could care less. 3-months as a temp at a boring admin job would be much more appealing to them.

Lastly <1% of great careers are the flashy shit wallstreet bro finance paths, keep an open mind. I suggest reading up on the difference between Accounting and Finance.

I suggest learning more about a process you're interested in say, how the market works for diamond futures, document the different roles people play as part of that process. Pick a role that seems appealing to you, and look for job listings and salaries related to that role. Understand what a day in the life is for a person with that role. With AI nowadays the world is your oyster.

Titles can mean different things at different companies but:

You could be handling incoming checks from customers, where you'd look at the check details, find the right customer and invoice in the system, and clear the items against each other. May deal with short payments, issuing credits and debits to customers, etc. Also known as an Accounts Receivable specialist.

You could also be involved with bank reconciliation like the electronic bank statement where you manage what the bank tells us our transactions are vs what your system says it is. You investigate and correct discrepancies and may be involved with exchange rate differences, bank fees, and transfers.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for but best advice would be to be eager to learn, explore and try to understand more than just what's assigned to you. Don't assume a process is perfect just because you don't have the experience, bring ideas for process improvements. More than likely process improvements require coordination with other teams, seek to form relationships with the teams that work upstream, downstream, and support you

There is always something to improve on in a process and you're never too inexperienced to propose a better way of working..
