• Complex finance and operational regulations
• Consolidated reporting is very cumbersome
• Organizational structure doesn’t align with
current /future reporting needs
• Inconsistencies in the setup and use of Chart
of Accounts

General ledger
• Manual Master Data maintenance and manual
governance process
• Intercompany Reconciliations
• Foreign currency revaluations during the
Month end close cycle
• Complex Procure to pay cycle ( Account
payables) and out going payment cycle
• IT systems take long time to run the reports
due to volume of data
• Finance users are tied-up with transaction
processing versus providing insights to
customers & Management for Reporting
• Long planning and budgeting cycles due to
lack of integration (HFM)
• Lack of rolling forecasting capabilities to
respond more quickly to business needs
• Multiple versions of truth, since data is not
integrated between planning and consolidation
systems
• Current IT systems are not quick to adapt to
business changes in case of any mergers or
realignments
• Poor reporting capabilities related to customer
and product profitability analysis
• No single source of dashboard and score-
carding capabilities to link strategy to
execution
• Out going payment setup and processes are
40% manual.
• Multiple compliance requirements
• Limited visibility of the enterprise-wide risks
• Compliance is silo-ed with Manual processes
• Higher duties from not leveraging trade
agreements
• Increasing complexity of regulations and
policies
• High cost to establish and maintain
compliance
• Risk information not relevant

Process Process –Cont’d Data & Applications
• Country specific Legal Reporting due to lack
Parallel Ledgers and New General ledger
functionalities
• Reconciliations between Special purpose
ledgers and standard ledgers ( USGAAP)

financial consolidation process (SAP SEM-
BCS) and lack of Matrix Consolidation
combination of Profit Center & Company Code
• Manual reconciliation across systems
• There is no direct Supply chain Process
integration with ERP Financials, CO-PA and CO-
PC
• Lack of Transfer price set up and deferred tax
calculations
• Management Reporting and decision making –
there is no real time management reporting
analysis tool which is integrated with COPA and
SAP Financials

Reporting at Brand and Size level, there is no
SBU, Category, Product Group and SKU level
Management Profitability Analysis
• Complex Workflow structure and approval
process with in the Account Payables for 2 way
match purchase order process

Reclassification
• FIRM Forecast - Shipment forecasts for next
fiscal issued to producing plants by GBU
Category Planning
• The CPW (Cash Position Worksheet) is an
excel tool used by Cash Managers to execute
the daily cash management process.- this is not
a real time and process consuming.
• Current Annual Operating Planning ( Cost
Planning) is very cumbersome and delaying the
Annual Operating plan Management Reporting

Versions comparisons in the Planning Cycle
• There is no direct integration between Planning
& Consolidation tools for ACT , PLAN version
consolidation
• No Real Time SG& A, Indirect SG&A and TPM
related allocations in the profitability Analysis
Data

between supply chain and financials systems
Applications

Bank communication management for vendor
payments
• Limitations in COPA reporting (FIT Application) ,
need more dimensions for the management
reporting ( Ex : SBU, Size, Category, Product
Group and SKU level)

System Landscape
Simplification
Current Process
• Plenty of operative entities & branches with a huge number of activities per closing entity
• Significant transaction volume at month end and time-intensive posting cycles for mass
data processes (e.g. order settlements, deferrals, accruals, assessments)
• Significant effort for internal (non legal) booking to reflect special ledger cases
• Many interim steps for the reconciliation of data
• Little transparency into local closing activities and their dependencies
With SAP Simple Finance
• Shorten process time and effort due to real-time data availability because of
• significantly reduced run time of reports
• automation and elimination of batch processes
• Elimination of closing activities (such as FI-CO reconciliation, periodic asset transfers)
• Increased efficiency of finance activities due to drill down from report to corresponding
transactions without distraction.
• Better alignment and reduction of iterations due to increased visibility into the
progress of local closing activities
• Increased accuracy due to automated quality checks

There are technical preconditions and
functional restrictions that must be
considered:
• Upgrade of Financial components
such as SAP_FIN
• Check whether not released
Business Functions are used (such
as Lease Accounting Engine)
• Technically you have to migrate to

– SAP Invoice and Goods Receipt Reconciliation
• The GR/IR Clearing Monitor is targeted to make the manual process
of matching and correcting goods receipts and invoice receipts for
financial accountants easier and more efficient
– Currently unmatched open items require financial accountant to jump around
between 5 and more different transactions in the system in order to find the
reason, why it was not cleared.
– The GR/IR Clearing Monitor provides all required information on ONE
SINGLE screen. Additionally, it offers possibilities for collaboration by
providing access to contact information for relevant involved parties in the
resolution process and the opportunity to track the progress with notes and
status information.
– SAP Supply Chain Info Center
• New analytics for operational real time reporting based on APO data
• Best practice analytical capabilities based on demand and supply
planning data that will be augmented with future versions of the
application

– Scanning all roles SAP-wide for used transactions thus finding potential
unused and unsafe role and access across app view for access compliance,
risk and internal controls
– Access role mining & enables root cause analysis
Deploy SAP RTR and OTCs like SAP Financials and HANA Live
