| SAP | Legacy | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Financial Accounting (FI) | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015, Applied Materials implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Financial Accounting (FI) as its ERP Financial solution. The deployment established SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Financial Accounting (FI) as the system of record for core financial accounting activities and tightly linked finance with Order to Cash operations. Applied Materials SAP ERP ECC 6.0 - Financial Accounting (FI) ERP Financial supports Accounts Receivable, billing, revenue recognition and related sales distribution workflows within the company. This implementation targeted Finance, Sales and Logistics functions to centralize transaction accounting and revenue-related controls.
Configuration work included SAP Sales and Distribution billing and Accounts Receivable capabilities, revenue account determination, billing copy control, account summarization and output determination. The project covered standard Order to Cash configuration such as sales order configuration, pricing, delivery processing, warehouse management interfaces, contracts, billing and credit management, with explicit attention to revenue recognition and lockbox processing. Emphasis was placed on SD/FI interface configuration to ensure financial postings from SD flows reconciled with Financial Accounting.
Integrations and technical handoffs referenced in the program included explicit SD/FI interface implementations and use of IDoc messaging patterns for B2B billing scenarios as relevant. The program included Global Trade Services practices, specifically US AES filing using GTS and configuration of the GTS Customs Declaration document and associated forms, to align customs compliance with invoicing and shipping workflows. Where B2B billing touched external platforms, experience with Ariba third party billing integrations and IDoc-based exchanges informed integration design and messaging requirements.
Governance and operational readiness relied on structured change promotion and release controls, including writing and executing test plans to validate SD to FI posting logic and customs filing workflows. Process changes were coordinated across Accounts Receivable, SD configuration owners and customs compliance teams to enforce configuration standards and posting rules. The implementation narrative emphasizes applied configuration discipline for Financial Accounting and Order to Cash, with governance around production promotion and testing to maintain transactional integrity.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday Absence Management | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2014 | 2014 |
In 2014, Applied Materials implemented Workday Absence Management. The initial deployment spanned 18 countries and more than 14,000 employees, establishing Workday as the enterprise platform for absence processing within the company’s global HR estate.
Applied Materials configured Workday Absence Management to support standard absence plans, accrual rules, leave of absence case management, and employee and manager self-service for time-off requests. The implementation aligned with the Absence and Leave Management application category and integrated absence entitlements with broader HR workflows for tracking, approvals, and compliance.
The work included integrations to payroll and HR adjacent systems, specifically ADP, PeopleSoft Financials, Active Directory, Concur, and Kronos, enabling bi-directional data flows for user provisioning, timekeeping, expense-linked leaves, and payroll adjustments. Operational coverage included HR, payroll and benefits teams across multiple regions, consolidating absence transactions into Workday driven records.
Governance was centralized under Workday as the sole system for Core HCM, Compensation, Benefits, Talent and Performance, and Absence, which necessitated standardized regional leave policies, role-based approval workflows, and audit trails within the Workday tenancy. The implementation emphasized configuration of global absence rules and localized eligibility settings to support compliance and consistent operational processes across sites.
