SAP Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC):

With SAP Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC) SAP offers a state-of-the-art Planning and Consolidation software that meets all your needs with regard to budgeting, planning, consolidation and reporting.

SAP BPC features a standardized administration tool for Planning and Consolidation. A homogeneous Excel-based user interface is used to generate planning data, to upload or report financial data as well as for reporting for internal and external purposes.

SAP BPC is available either as a SAP BW based or Microsoft SQL based solution, thus enabling the additional utilization of SAP BW reporting and other BW tools (e.g., unified Master data collection and financial reporting data), promoting the integration of your IT systems. Using the Microsoft SQL-based solution enables non-SAP companies to capitalize on the solid and easy to learn SAP consolidation tool.

Comprehensive solution for planning and budgeting with SAP Planning and Consolidation

SAP BPC fully supports top-down and bottom-up planning for financial and operational tasks, to further a smooth and on-time financial closing. SAP BPC enables you to conduct strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, planning consolidation and intuitive and easy reporting.

The implementation cycle can be kept short, because your department will be able to customize the tool according to changing needs, without the hassle of calling in an external consultant. A highly flexible data model and the possibility of accessing legacy systems directly ensure clearly laid-out planning. You will even be able to add or receive comments for reported or planned data. Using the well-known Microsoft frontend tools facilitates the introduction of this innovative software.

Internal and external reporting with SAP Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC)

SAP BPC supports all your processes, thus ensuring integrated internal and external group reporting. Repetitive processes such as reporting data and validations are managed through Business Process Flows (BPF), so no task is forgotten and users will have carried out all necessary steps. A rule-based consolidation enables you to adapt your consolidation processes to your changing needs. All consolidation tasks such as currency conversion, intercompany elimination, legal consolidation, validations and the like are handled on the basis of these rules. The flexibility offered is unique and certainly one of the most interesting features of this solution. SAP offers a starter kit with predefined rules, making it easier to develop you own rules and to keep implementation cycles short. Internal and external reporting uses SAP BPC for Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Depending on the version (Microsoft- or BW-based) enhanced reporting possibilities through the use of BW or BO reporting is available. The system allows you to run a reconciliation of intercompany accounts before actually consolidating the data, based on group accounts. More detailed invoice-based reconciliation is offered through the use of SAP BO Intercompany.

SAP Planning and Consolidation (SAP BPC):

Financial Consolidation is a rule-based tool for statutory and management consolidation. The rule-based approach offers a higher degree of flexibility compared to previous SAP consolidation tools. The consolidation process runs completely autonomously and can be annotated. The tool offers the complete functionality of a consolidation system: financial reporting data, validations, currency conversion, statutory consolidation and reporting of consolidated financial data. The Packagemanager and an associated report allow easy tracking of the delivery process. A separation into distinctive data pools allows for an easy consolidation by different accounting standards or planning requirements. Minimal time and effort has to be expended to calculate various consolidation scenarios wholly. A complete audit trail is ensured through Audit-IDs, so you can easily track data delivery and calculation. Reconciliation of intercompany transactions is an inherent feature. A more detailed reconciliation on the invoice level is available through SAP BusinessObjects Intercompany, a web based, interactive software.

SAP offers a Starter kit that encompasses predefined rules, making it easier to develop your own rules and keeping the implementation cycle short. The tool can be used without the need to install further SAP software and can be maintained by specialists within your department without calling in external consultants.

Reporting based on financial consolidation

Reporting with BOFC:

The introduction of quick and comprehensive reporting is simplified by pre-configured reports readily available in your system, considerably shortening your implementation cycle. Reports for statement of financial position, statement of comprehensive income, equities and movement schedules will be made available from the very beginning. They allow for rapid and detailed insight in your consolidated data. In addition, intuitive handling ensures an easy maintenance by your department.

Enhanced dynamic reporting capabilities, e.g., utilizing drag and drop functionality, are offered by SAP BusinessObjects Cube Designer (prior releases: Extended Analytics). You can extract data from both BOFC for Microsoft SSAS Cubes and SAP NetWeaver BW InfoCubes.

The illustration demonstrates Crystal Reports and Dashboard Designer (Xcelsius) as an example for frontend reporting. However, the use of BEx-Tools and the special Extended Analytics Tool (EPM Add-in for Microsoft Excel, the former EA Analyzer, MS-Excel based) are available. In addition, a UBmatrix interface offers reporting of consolidated data in XBRL-Format.

SAP Crystal Reports:

It is with SAP Crystal Reports that SAP offers a flexible and powerful tool for the production of formatted reports or report portfolios. Pixel accuracy is ensured for all tables, graphs, and text elements that can be positioned precisely in the report. SAP Crystal Reports offers extensive data processing features within the report.

In addition to the extensive formatting and selection possibilities, successful SAP NetWeaver BW integration is a further strength of SAP Crystal Reports. Even complex meta data such as SAP NetWeaver BW hierarchies are thus easy to process and integrate.

A further major advantage of SAP Crystal Reports is the perfection with which various different data sources may be included into the report. Consequently, reports can simultaneously process and visualize SAP and non-SAP data.

The performance portfolio is completed thanks to the close interplay with SAP BusinessObjects enterprise components, e.g. Publishing. Reports can be time- or event-geared or full report portfolios can be processed automatically.

Within the scope of the introduction of the SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 platform, SAP's Crystal Reports for Enterprise also offers the possibility to produce formatted reports. In particular the integration of a new semantic shift (universes) allowing for access to a platform-transcending harmonized database must be listed here.
