Global Record-to-Report Blueprint for Shiseido Americas
As part of a PwC-led program, Enterprise Solutions Lab served as the Record-to-Report process and implementation lead for Shiseido Americas — designing the global RTR blueprint on SAP S/4HANA and wiring in the automation that runs it: OpenText VIM, HighRadius, and SWIFT-compatible banking.
Project Overview
The luxury cosmetics group consolidated its Americas finance operations on S/4HANA. ESL led requirements, FIT-GAP, configuration, data conversion, testing, and hypercare across GL, AP, AR, assets, and controlling — with parallel ledgers and material ledger for statutory reporting.
50% Less Manual Exception Handling
Integrated OpenText OCR for invoice scanning and intelligent indexing, cutting manual effort and exception handling by half.
Treasury Enablement
Automated payment workflows, bank statement uploads, and Bank Communication Management — with HighRadius cash application and SWIFT-compatible interfaces.
Statutory-Grade Ledgers
Configured parallel ledgers, document splitting, and material ledger to meet financial, statutory, and tax reporting requirements.
How We Did It
Global Process Blueprints
End-to-end requirements and FIT-GAP across FI and CO with finance, controlling, and treasury stakeholders.
Clean Data Conversion
Led conversion and validation for assets, material master, and open items — aligned with document splitting and parallel valuation.
Through Go-Live and Beyond
Managed SIT, UAT, and defect resolution, then provided hypercare through period-end closes with user training across US and Canada.
