Interview Questions # 2

I had an Interview today, the job requirements given at the end of the posting (scroll down). There were two guys in the conference call. One American and another techie, obviously an Indian.

During my self-introduction, I was able to explain my understanding and consulting skills on Corporate Finance Management.

QUES 1: If you are generating IDOC’s and if one IDOC fails. How do you fix this?

First of all you can get the list of generated IDOC’s in WE02. Those failed IDOC’s will have the status in Red.

If you drill into it, it will give the details about the individual segments. Under status records, it will have the error message eg missing fields.

Now go to WE19 and from there you can edit the documents (with new values for missing fields) and click on outbound processing.

QUEST 2: In an Electronic Bank Transfer (like ACH, TT, WIRE etc), how do you set the Funds transfer date to later day.

I told him that value date would determine the fund transfer date. But he told me that there is a user exit available which will set the value date, so that the Bank will determine the transfer date. (I do not understand why they have to do that, when the payment documents are posting only to Bank clearing accounts)

Here are the skills/requirements necessary for the position:

SAP Treasury functional configurator with 3-5 years experience. Remote support allowed with occasional travel to client site in Greensburg, PA required (travel exp will be covered by client). No citizenship restrictions. Experience on ECC 6.0 a plus. Experience in other FICO related modules desired as well. Excellent spoken and written English communications required. Consultant will work as part of a leveraged/remote team on a combination of enhancement and break/fix activities.

We want someone with 20 to 30% experience on TR and less on FICO. He or she must have done some thing more than Basic Bank statement configurations - like securities, loans, payments, collections etc.Also familiar with IDOCs, interface with banks etc.
