Keeping Busy!

Now that I have been working at Lockheed Martin for over a year, I have some continuing responsibilities.  Every day I work with the billing team to reconcile invoices between two of our financial systems, PeopleSoft and Intraviewer.  I also monitor our Remedy system, where users can submit a help ticket if they are having problems.  When I am able to resolve these tickets, I contact the user and do what I can to assist them.  When I can’t, I assign the ticket to someone who can.  At the end of every week, I run reports on these remedy tickets to keep track of how they are getting resolved.

My team at Lockheed Martin, under the Director of Accounting, Revenue and Systems, is in charge of Training and Communications as well as Change Management.  Last summer, our big project was facilitating Lockheed’s change from services accounting to product accounting.  I worked with subject matter expects and users from across the country to create training material for the change and then roll it out.  It was a major undertaking that required a lot of organization and a lot of people.  This summer, my team was thrown into a similar project.  This week, we had meetings with a change leadership team from Valley Forge who is transitioning out of their roles. 

As I said in my previous blog, Lockheed Martin IS&GS uses two main financial programs: PeopleSoft and SAP.  Beginning in 2009, Lockheed starting changing its SAP instance to the corporate instance, called Procure to Pay, or P2P.  My team inherited the task of leading this transition, which involves working with the Subject Matter Experts and Super Users to roll out training and give access to all necessary users.

At the end of last week, I also was asked to start working on the budget for my department.  I requested all necessary access to pull reports for data for the budget.  I also attended my first budget meeting with several senior managers.  It was very exciting and interesting to see the expenses and payroll processes for my group. I am really looking forward to getting more involved with this project.

Still learning a lot!
