Project leader & functional analyst of the Contract Management project: implementation of the contract management processes in SAP R/3. The new application had to replace an old Cobol application which was running on the mainframe. In order to cover all requirements, different SAP modules had to be used: Treasury-Loans, Real Estate Management, Service Contracts in Customer Service and Bonus Agreements in Bonus Management (part of the IS Beverage Solution). However, 80% of the project was covered by the Real Estate Management module. We implemented lease outs, lease-ins, general contracts together with all possible processes, like rent adjustments, invoicing, deferrals,... And off course, all of this completely integrated with FI/CO. In this project, the project management tasks comprised approximately 20% of the time. So the rest of the time, I actively participated in all the phases of the project as a functional analyst. So, I also have hands on experience and a thorough knowledge of all customizing, user exits, substitutions, validations and other developments. The project went successfully live in December 2003.
